When I arrived Saturday, the immense dealers room was already halfpast bursting and cosplayers both known and unknown stopped for photos by enthusiastic oglers jockeying for the best shot. The convention area has some terrific open spaces for cosplay antics! On tap is always an impressive lineup of guests that give the creative fan an appreciative shotin-the-arm and thus fans flock to the well attended panels which included: ROB LIEFELD SMASHES POP CULTURE:Â Amazing Spider-Man, XMen, Deadpool, Avengers, and More. Rob spoke candidly on the inner workings of movie blockbusters and the comics from with they originated. Also on tap were: Jim Valentino and Marat Mychaels. DRAWING DEMO with JIM LEE:Â Influential artist Jim Lee spent an hour interacting with fans, drawing their favorite characters projected onto a large screen and telling tales of years in the comics business.

At the north end of the strip at the Vegas Speedway 140,000 people writhed to that funky music (white boy) at the eclectic Electric Daisy Carnival. Meanwhile, near the southiest part of the Strip at the South Point Hotel/Casino, the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con was just getting underway and promised as much fun to the 2400 fans in attendance!
