      <![CDATA[Out of curiosity, why is everyone trashing Wizard World for putting on, what by most accounts was a good, fun convention. I get that we want to support local conventions but this doesn't appear to be hurting anyone. Emerald City sold out with Portland being a week before, Stumptown and Rose City will most likely do well. Now we just have a lot more conventions to attend.<br>
<br>
Also, this term "Big Box" is pretty amusing. I spoke with one of the organizers at the convention and they only have like 12 employees that put together all their shows.

      <![CDATA[Maybe the local community wants the more modest type of convention.  Maybe Stumptown is to Wizard World as Pickathon is to Sasquatch.  I.e. better.<br>
<br>
Have we really been missing Henry Winkler appearances?

      <![CDATA[Thank you Bobby!  It's frustrating to read such dismissive pieces on Portland's comic conventions.  Stumptown is an amazing show (and I know I'm incredibly biased) that does what no other show does; caters to the independent artist.  Rose City accomplished something few cons do in their first year and has made wise choices to make sure they have a successful trajectory.  Perhaps Duin could spend less time lauding the "big box" con and more time talking about why the shows we do have are wonderful and why they should get more attention.
