Is GG right for Comicon??

Fri Mar 23, 2007, 11:00 AM
I'm looking to get some more exposure for Galaxy Girls so I might get a booth at the San Diego Comicon in July. But I'm not so sure that it's the right venue for Milky Way. I mean, the only reason I'm considering it is that I'm more familiar with Comic Conventions than anything else. I've been going for years, first as a fan, then as a professional. I've done signings for Cartoon Network and have spoken on a few panels. Comicon's been growing like mad in recent years, becoming less and less about comics and more and more about media - animation, movies, toys, collectibles. And, encouragingly, more and more girls have been attending. In fact, last year a couple of my friends dressed as Pluto and Mars and got a lot of inquiries. But then again, at the heart of it all, Comicon is for dudes isn't it???

I don't know. What do you think??

I'm a girl and I go to Comic Con! So does my mom. Every summer we fly across the country to San Diego just to attend. :)

I'd say go for it! I think it would be a great place to get some GG exposure! I know I'll definitely stop by the booth!

Comics are definitely shifting from being just a guy thing. I think having a Galaxy Girls booth at Comic Con is a great way to help that shift even more.

That's so cool that your Mom takes you. I am so going to take my daughters there (when I have some.)

Thanks for the encouragement. I think you're right. There is something to be said for making vnues like that more welcoming for girls.

Hmmmmm....

Man, that would be sweet. I don't see why you shouldn't go -- Comic-con won't ever be a venue for boys AND girls if no one ever puts out material for girls in the first place ;3 Go for it.

Give dudes a little more credit. I'm one, and I think the characters are adorable. I'd definitely check it out at a con.

Definitely put em out there.. Comicon isnt just for superheros and topheavy girls drawings anymore ( thank god! ) The more fun stuff that gets out there the better ....... just wondering....> hey did you know there is a guy who used to work at spumco who pitched a show caleed "Galaxy Girl"? Guy's name is Marc Perry ... he was also art director and a designer on the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy... Not tryin to be a punk.. just wondered if you knew... :)

I go to Comic Con every year now. I think they'd fit in just fine. I see more and more animation people there and think you'd fit in just fine. =)

You returning this summer? I plan to be back! :D

Hey, I'd say go for it. I think it's great to have more females take part of the convention. I would definitely check out the GG booth. :)
I've never been to SDCC, but I can't see why you shouldn't let the Galaxy Girls test the water there. Curious..what exactly are you going to have there? Merchandise and or/ comics featuring them? Are the GG rag dolls collection going to be there? Sorry if these are dumb questions.
:)
I'm coming to ComicCon this year, and I'm coming all the way from Australia to attend! And that would be wonderful to see your Galaxy Girls at their own booth.

Watched PPG Rule. Greatest thing to happen just because of more expressions, especially the "Whaaat?" from Bubbles and Buttercup!
