((Excerpt))
I didn’t make it to WonderCon this year, but then as much as I had enjoyed C2E2 I really wasn’t in the mood for another con, especially a gigantic multi-media driven one. So I had no plans to go to the Gem City Con in Dayton last Sunday either, but I found myself with nothing to do on a unexpectedly pleasant April afternoon and before I knew it was in my car and on my way there. It was just a one day comic book convention being held in the student union of Wright State University and while it didn’t generate the kind of online headlines that WonderCon did it turned out to be everything a comic book convention ideally should be; fun, friendly and almost exclusively about comic books.
