Wizard Announces Atlanta Show

imageThis story as reported by the business and analysis site ICv2.com has been rumored in comics for so long I think hotels were already offering discounts. If this is a go, it looks like the only items of suspense were when they would try to hold such a show (June 30-July 2) and if Reed's announced plans for doing a comic book trade show in New York would make a NYC-area Wizard show a great enough priority to jump in front of the planning-stage line (I guess not). One imagines that a full summer press of Wizard shows might take a bit more of Comic-Con International's ablity to break Big Two publishing news, as Marvel was really blunt about stuff "not being ready to announce" until, one imagines, Chicago. Again, it's funny to see Wizard potentially benefit for perhaps being a better fit for a specific aspect of a comic book company's needs given how much film and outside-industry stuff you can find in the magazine.
