Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo 2013: Convention Report

Here's my quick recap and "photo" report from this past weekend's "Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo" for 2013. 

A lot bigger than last year's "parking garage" set-up at the LA Convention Center from 2012. More A-list comic creators such as McFarlane, JS Campbell, McKone, Tony Moore, etc. from 2012 which continued this year with Marc Silvestri, J. Scott Campbell, Chris Burnham, Joe Jusko and others as well as the usual mid-tier celebs hawking expensive autographs.

Captions will be listed in semi left-to-right reading order.

1. The lines and entry to the event. 

Parking was a lot easier if you got in via the back of the center. Long lines for pre-purchasers, heard almost that it stretched half-way around the convention center outside in one of the hottest days of the Summer in LA.

The security lines got long, but still, the con-goers were cool and didn't cause any issues with the waiting.
