Anyone planning to go to this? I'm going tomorrow, as messrs. Wildman and Furman will be there for Saturday. Looking forward to meeting these 2 guys.

See ya there!

On my way to the station now.

cool - looks like there is some good stuff going on today. Keen on seeing the 2000 AD presentation as well. Furman and Wildman aren't signing until 16.45 - it's going to be a long day!

Nerdgasm after nerdgasm today.

I will upload the sketches I got from Wildman and Roche, both then coloured in by JPBove. Aaaaa!

And I got a photo with Furman and Wildman!

...you mean you got a photo like this?





I had a nice chat with Simon, and he kindly signed about 10 of my G1 UK comics. I told him that he made Bludgeon awesome. I told him that how he solved the problem of '2 megatrons' was awesome. In fact, I spent a lot of time telling him that he was awesome. He signed my Infiltration graphic novel too, and he was chatting a bit about Regeneration One.

Andrew was also awesome. He signed the covers I had of his from my G1 comics. I also showed him one of his panels I coloured in as a kid and he signed that too. He told me why he was credited as 'Andy' for so many years. Both guys were really nice, down to earth, and happy to chat.

Nick Roche was great too, I bought a couple of signed prints off of him, one of which is a sweeet one of Overlord. I asked him what he thought of the Botcon one and he said he was looking forward to getting his own one Annoyed that I left my copy of LSOTW at home

As a TF fan, it was a great convention to go to, since most of the people there wanted to see some old guy called Stan Lee.

My day was made almost perfect by the fact that I came home and had a delivery note about Runabout - I need to pay VAT charges before he can be delivered to me, 'doh! Still, never mind, it was a great day.

That is pretty much the same photo, I will upload tomorrow.

I got Simon and Andrew to sign my War Within Omnibus, bought the scripts to 4 and 5 with the 6 outline, got two sketches from Nick Roche (Perceptort and Kup) both then coloured in by J-P Bove.

And a sketch of War Within Grimlock, by Andrew himself Wildman. Coloured by J-P.

And the Death of Optimus Prime, signed by Nick Roche, and the deluxe hardcover LSTOW, again signed by Nick, with a mini Perceptor head in it.

I think I'm still in nerdgasm mode.

Wow, you got an awesome haul, well done! I hope they do another 'con there next year.
