Shamus/Wizard Nexus Buys Cincy Show

It looks like the organization that is going by some combination of the words "Comic Con" "Gareb Shamus" and "Wizard World" has added a tenth convention to an alignment of smaller shows that seems to be going monthly. It also looks like I'm officially off of Wizard's PR list. This time it's a collector's show in Cincinnati that will now be transformed into the aggressive mix of current superhero comics, scantily clad women (2D, 3D or both), sports, semi-sports and general guy pop culture that is this brand of show. This is a slightly more interesting choice than usual in that the Queen City is not a major area for conventions -- Cincinnati is not even in the top 50 US cities population-wise -- but it could potentially attract fans from a number of Midwestern states and comics-friendly cities like Louisville, Indianapolis and Columbus.
