Sad to see no more Dice, it was really a fun event and I think pretty good for 2000ADs fans in Ireland.

Quite a good spread of locations there :thumbsup:
PJ: As far as I know, DICE will be back next year - it's not gone forever!

That's the word- it'll be back in 2016.
Shame there won't be an event of its size in Ireland this year, but it may mean I can afford a holiday ! :D
NB- Big Bang still have regular signing events. Chip Zdarsky arrives in Dublin in a couple weeks!
I'm hoping some Droids will also be appearing this year too.
2000AD@Glasgowcon = Woohoo!

That'll be a nice contrast for you. Guess which one I have most chance of attending.
Any plans for London Film and Comic Con this year?
I see John Wagner is attending London Film and Comic Con in July. Which is very exciting.
And he's going to be at Brum ICE in September with Greg Staples and Ian Gibson

We won't be there this year - it's the weekend directly after San Diego.
Definitely going to the Nottingham Comic Con, any idea if any 2000AD writers or artists will be going?
What sort of stuff do 2000ad sell at these cons? Any merchandise like T-shirts, signed stuff or mugs? Any back issues?
Usually plenty of mugs at some of these conventions ....
There's a UK Convention T-Shirt that is available at all the 'UK' cons this year. It's pretty good, as it has a Mechanismo robot on it. There may also be some posters (there were at LSCC), badges and other wee bits but the main bulk will be graphic novels and such like.
As for signed stuff, the artists/writers will be at the table for specific times for such things. If you miss them then, they may have their own table at the con, so look at the guest list and see who's there and where!
You guys should come to Belfast. We have MCM Comic Con in early May, and Film and Comic Con in October.
Murphyville inhabitants would give you a very warm welcome.
Australia's nice and warm. Just saying. ;)

Starting with a little one then, to get you in the swing and all that!
One question. Where can I check what 2000AD/Rebellion brings on specific conventions? Merch etc. Or should I just check FB profile near convention date?

If there's something exclusive to a show we'll shout about it on social media beforehand.

Thanks.
So nothing exclusive for NYCC I guess (I know, I know, there'll be Mezco toys).
