We're going in!
This is a really big convention! Lots of vendors. Lots of panels. Lots of artists,
creators,...everything! There's all kinds of vendors and things you can buy. Really
cool collectibles. And all the latest comics and movies will be featured here.
DC Comics has a big booth.
There's the legendary Jim Lee. He came here for a signing just on Friday morning.
There are so many comics here. You can buy cheap comics or some more expensive,
graded comics. A Fantastic Four for $500. And a Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge for $450.
There are handcrafted things.
And this is Artists Alley. In Artists Alley you'll find a lot of creators.
They will sell you their art work or draw something for you. There'll be Comic Book writers.
A lot of artists will do commissions. They'll sign work that they've already
done. There are a huge number of people set up in Artist Alley. This is a line
to see Tom King, writer of Batman. He's sitting in Artists Alley for a while to
give autographs. And you can catch people like that every once in a while.
Sometimes they're on a set schedule. Sometimes they just show up. This section
is the paid autograph area. Celebrities will show up at certain times and you
actually have to pay a fee to get their autograph and talk to them. This shows
everybody that's going to be in the autographing area on which days. Which table.
A lot of cool people!
You will see a lot of great Cosplay here.
He even had the good laugh.
They will sell you an updated pinball machine here.
If you're into toys, there are lots of them here old and new.

Lots of minifigs for sale.
You can probably buy about any type of board game here.
There's Ursula!
Graham Crackers comic book shop always has a big presence here.
And there are walls and walls of Pop! figures.
Anything you're looking for is probably here.
They've got a booth for M&M's. You can go in there and try all the new flavors.
There's three new flavors of M&M's and we get to try them and then vote on them.
There's Crunchy Mint, Crunchy Raspberry and Crunchy Espresso. I liked Crunchy Mint the most.
There's Dragon Ball Z here!
The McCormick Center is a great place to have this convention - it's really huge!
They even expanded it this year. And you're right on the shore of Lake Michigan out there.
And they're using all these side rooms for different exhibits
and different shows and panels. And right now I'm headed to the Main Stage. This is the
biggest room where they have the biggest stars and comic book artists and writers.
And Milo, let's talk about your death! Oh, ok! Go ahead.
A rare opportunity to talk to somebody after they die!
"The Whispers"...that was the show that, just sadly, nobody watched. There was this bad character, he was an alien, whose name was, actually...
That'll happen from time to time.
That'll happen from time to time, over and over and over again. How many shows have you been on that people haven't watched?
Thank you question! Uhhhhh!
15 years later, would you ever have thought that this little show called "Firefly", would still be giving and bringing in this loyal dedicated fan base that it is?!?
NO!
No.
Actually, this as many people that are here that were able to follow it when it first aired!
I knew exactly where he needed me to go with the character.
(Tom Kenny Doing His Spongebob Voice) So when Spongebob first came out, and I started doing this voice and his laugh,
and the laugh like came out of nowhere, they were like, oh that was great!
They were like, "Don't change it, that's cool!"
It sounds like a dolphin, pokin' it's head out of the water, doin' that!
What's up Chicago???
Chicago is happy to have you guys! You guys happy to have them here?
I'm here because I heard that Dave was gonna be singing songs from "Frozen", and "Hannah Montana". Is that right? Did I get that right?
That was the plan, but I got a little sick, a little cold, and my voice is gone. So, I'd feel a little self-conscious about it. So, sorry guys!
There we are. Can you say something? No???
Hey, man! How you doing? I'm doing well. You're doing well. You look great!
You can buy all kinds of weapons here. Fake, but very realistic.
Today is Saturday, and it's a lot busier than Friday was. A lot more people are
off today so it's just a lot more crowded. But it's a lot of fun. A lot going on.

This view from one of the upper eating areas gives you an idea of just how big
this is, and how packed this is today on a Saturday.
And there's more on that other side.
This is Princess Etch in the Family HQ Zone. And she's teaching people how to use an Etch A Sketch.
