admittedly, i was pretty hesitate (and still am, ever so slightly) to start this post/entry, not least tis been running @ KR-forums for a while (kewl initiative by forum-member, Rails) and the fear of being a "duplicate" ... and of the eventual awesome (im sure) coverage by Vinyl Pulse (*envy* ;p) ... but also becoz a whole lot of it is COMICS as well, and by going thru the scheduled exhibitors' list? my
meanwhile, i've done my share of the "homework", and here's a list of select exhibitors, their booths and what to expect [primary reference] = *after the jump*
