I was wondering if anyone else plans on attending one of the parties. Tristam and I are going to our local comic shop to join in the festivities. We even made some cookies because we love the crew at the shop. It's kind of a small one so I was really surprised that they got put on the official list on Marvel.com. So who else is going?

None in my local area or I'd totally go. At least I can take comfort in knowing that MUA2 comes out next month. Nice avatar btw!

Fuck, if we stayed in NYC for a week i would have been able to go.:drooling:

I'm stuck at work today, or I'd so be at my local shop /sigh oh well, I'll just hear about it tonight from my buddies who are there right now /cry

I thought that you would know who it was. I have been collecting the Runaways for over a year and just recently bought most of the graphic novels. Molly is one of my favorite comic characters now (Shadowcat is still the best).

It was cool meeting up with other comic fans at the shop but Tristam and I felt kind of old compared to most people there. lol It would have been awesome to go to one of the places that had the writers/artists there.

Shadowcat will always be the best!

Straaaaange feeling, that. Most everyone in there was 16-18 years old, wearing skinny jeans and Hot Topic jewelry lol.
