The Only Thing Better Than A 300-Pound Man In A Spider-Man Suit Is If He’s Wearing A Cowboy Hat

imageAccording to their latest press release, the Gareb Shamus/Wizard Entertainment/Comic Con nexus has announced one more show -- the Nashville Comic Con Wizard World Convention. This was made possible as was the case with earlier convention announcements by the acquisition of a local show, the "Comic & Horror Festival." As is also the case with previous announcements the acquired show's manager will stay on to advise the new Shamus/Wizard effort. This make a fourth show -- after Atlanta, Cincinnati and Cleveland -- without a date. The group has eight shows currently with dates (March, April, June, August, three in October, November). While many have criticized Shamus for overextending his series of comics shows, it seems to me there must be something at the core of such shows where it just works out financially if you can carry certain things within your organizational structure.
yeah, I know that headline is mean and glass-housey, but I made you look
