Madicon is one of those small and close knit cons. There were plenty of activities to keep you busy, but still with time to just sit back and hang out with friends new and old. I’m looking forward to next year to see what they come up with. They have already got the dates set for next year, March 9-11. If you are in the area and want to attend a friendly, con this is it.

“Magic: The Gathering” collectible gaming fans have another reason to attend Wizard World Comic Con events… well, actually 10,000 reasons! Starting at Big Apple Comic Con, October 1-3 at Penn Plaza Pavilion in New York, the TCGplayer.com Championship Series will host events at every Wizard World Comic Con, offering $10,000 prizes at each, culminating in a huge $75,000 championship tournament at Chicago Comic Con in 2011. In total, over $250,000.00 in cash and prizes will be paid out during the inaugural year of the TCGplayer.com Championship Series.
