Gem City Comic Con Re-Cap

Benjamin Hobbs:
This past weekend I attended the Gem City Comic Con! A big thanks to the organizers for inviting me!

The general reception from attendees was positive, with some casual indifference and a few people who were politely hostile toward Cerebus. 

Laura, occasional letterer for CIH?, mans the table at Gem City.  Not pictured-Me. D'oh!

Seeing people react to CIH? in person brought a new view to the CIH? experience.   I brought copies of SUPER CEREBUS, CEREBUS WOMAN, SIM CITY and SIM CITY THAT ISSUE AFTER, as well as some of the other books I worked on.  SIM CITY was by far the most commented on of the books and the best seller.  Super Cerebus sold the next best, followed by CRISIS OF INFINITE CEREBI. JINGLES and CODPIECE were commented on, but didn't sell many copies.  One surprised CIH? reader came up and told me that CIH? is his favorite comic coming out today and that JINGLES is his favorite issue.

 Unofficial winner of most "Eye Catching Cover"!

The four big things I took away from the show were:

1) There is a portion of the Cerebus audience that doesn't know the book exists and were excited to find there were several new Cerebus books to buy. 

2) The layout of the book is REALLY confusing. Two people asked me how to read the book. The first guy thought it was read from the last page, and read forward. The second guy bought a copy of SIM CITY and came back an hour later for instructions on how to read it.

Perhaps if enough people comment on the format, we'll eventually convince Dave to change it to the format below.

 Imagine that this image was rotated 90 degrees Clockwise, and you'll have an idea what the book could look like.

3) The ALL NUMBER ONES! gimmick definitely confuses new readers. Several people asked if the books were variant covers.  This might only be a problem when all the books are sitting out together.

4) The book being self-contained and humorous, makes CIH? welcoming to new readers.

Next Week: The delayed, but highly anticipated, reveal of the FINAL version of the cover for COLOUR YOUR OWN CEREBUS IN HELL? #1
