Hi everyone

Does anyone know if Image Comics will be having an Expo for 2013??

If yes, what are the dates, time, and location?

Thanks!

Im pretty sure that Larsen said there will be no Image Expo this year

Yeah - apparently it was kind of a onetime thing to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

The 2012 Expo was a lot of fun. Very chill environment that was quite the departure from normal cons. Very little cosplay too, interestingly enough.

A lot of the artists I talked too said that there were very few DC/Marvel commission requests and most of it was either creator owned stuff or TV/movie character requests.

Sucks that wondercon will remain in SoCal this year!

Wish they'd let everyone know properly.

I would have started making arrangements to go to Seattle..

Let them know properly how? Usually it's the other way around -- they announce dates when a convention is going to take place. I've never heard of a single convention announcing that they're not having one, especially one that has only taken place once and was never guaranteed or promised to occur again.

So you think people that went last time wouldn't want to go again?
How many one-off conventions can you think of?

I'm sure that more than a few people were expecting/hoping for another..whether they went last time or not.

How about a little something on this website??
I have to explain to a "Communications director"??

I'm sure there are a TON of people who went before who would love to go again. But at no point did the organizers behind the Image Expo ever say that this was going to be a repeat thing. In fact, it was made abundantly clear that it only took place because of the 20th Anniversary. And because of the success there were many involved who hoped it would become a regular or semi-regular event. I can't think of many one-off conventions, although that's probably because they only happened once.

But you're still missing my point. Why would they put something on the website? Saying what? "Special Announcement: No Image Expo this year!" It doesn't make much sense. And you're taking this way too personally. That's a very entitled attitude you have.

I disagree that it was made abundantly clear at all. I never got that.
I volunteered there all day Saturday and Sunday. The talk was that it was a success and it could be a annual thing.

Not trying to come off Entitled at all..

I'm just disappointed that it isn't happening because I had a great time.

Yeah. All do respect and I'm not trying to come across like I'm "owed" anything; but I kinda assumed that this would be the definitive Northern California convention from here forth...
