The Halloween weekend saw the appearance of the third annual Long Beach Comic Con (or as it is now known the “Long Beach Comic and Horror Con”), and I am extremely happy to report that it was the best year yet. What clearly sets the LBCC shows apart from its Southern California con counterparts is an actual emphasis on comics themselves, the writers and artists who produce them, and the greater illustrative art world that exists comfortably alongside the sequential medium itself.

With Halloween upon us, Susan, Simon, and Sheldon have decided to travel to France and film a very special episode of “Did You Catch All That?”. Okay, so that’s not entirely true, but Simon is speaking French. Susan announces some changes to the Halloween Costume Contest. And Sheldon? He’s just scary. See what we all pick in our “We’ve Got Issues” segments, including who has a very special issue he’s sharing for the first time. Progress is always encouraged in comic addiction. A very big event comes to a close in the Marvel Universe (or does it), and we take a look at one of the most talented creators out there is “I Made it Myself.” Check out how crazy we can get in the month of October! “Did You Catch All That?”

The second annual Long Beach Comic Con has now come and gone and it is with a huge measure of relief that I can say that it has not merely bested last year’s event, but gave me every reason to believe it will continue to move in a positive direction as well. And, as strange as it sounds, I’d say it topped last year’s inaugural LBCC just by simultaneously growing larger yet staying essentially the same: by keeping the focus on sequential art, the people who make it, and the fans who love it.
