Amazing Comic Con Hawaii Aug 25-27 2017

Amazing Comic Con Hawaii.
Mark Your Calendars now for August 25-26-27

Yes they are pretty small compared to the big boys but we have had some very solid guests like Robert Kirkman and the anime/manga influence is very strong here so get some great cosplay.

There isn't much buzz about San Francisco CC on FoCC either. Kinda surprising but only second year so I imagine it will grow quickly.  How was HCC?

I think [member=4434]Angel_[/member] also attends the Hawaii cons.

Lavendar, I went to the San Francisco con last year and wasn't impressed. This year, none of the guests really excite me, and my family was somewhat interested in Peter Capaldi, but they just saw him at SDCC, so it wasn't worth going all the way into The City for it.

Yep, I attend Hawai'i cons.  Skipped this one though.  I'm not the biggest fan of the vibe at Amazing cons.  It's one of the ones where the more you pay, the better your experience is (VIP passes to the front of the line etc).  Also I generally attend cons as press and there's not much there to write on *shrug*

Big fan of Honolulu Comic Con and KawaiiKon though.  Well run. No VIP line jumping. Great guests. Lots of things to write about.

They moved it into a nice convention center this year, but yeah the lineup is a bit weak, and a holiday weekend to boot.  I guess it's a local thing.

Had a good time. Agree with the comment about the amazing conventions being very VIP $$ driven. Got to see a con man panel with Alan tudek which I missed at SDCC so that was the highlight. Shatner was also pretty funny and some some cool art.

I tend to generally not like the money driven VIP type cons: Amazing, Creation, Wizard World.  But I bite the bullet and go to them because I want those photo ops or autographs so I cough up that money.  But smaller cons or non-profit cons (SDCC is far bigger, but non-profit) tend to have the better panels and better atmosphere overall.  I cannot speak more highly of Comic Con Honolulu.  That con owns my soul lol.
