Still not in Northern Utah, Checked 4 Stores:
Sugarhouse, South Salt Lake, West Valley, and Layton Nothing!

Ok so Salt Lake Comic Con ended on Saturday the 7th of September with some huge numbers.
50,000 tickets sold for the 3 day event.
A huge list of Celebs including:
Stan Lee
William Shatner
Lou Ferrigno
Adam West
Burt Ward
Henry Winkler
And a very long list of other guests.
On Saturday the last day of the show the event sold out, the local fire marshals
stepped in and said they could not let anymore attendees in until people
left (the convention had exceeded the occupancy limit of our largest
convention center) the count from the fire marshal was 70 to 80,000
people.I have read that the SLCCC now holds the record as the largest inaugural Comic Con in the nation and is being listed as number 5 in the top 5 cons (with reference to attendance) for this year.
We
had WETA make their first appearance at a con outside of SDCC
(According to WETA they have never gone to any con other than SDCC)Some links to stories if you are interested:
Thank you for reading and sharing this cool news for Utah and Salt Lake City.
Now
I did want to share this, I took with me a Hulk Through the Ages boxset
with the intent to see if I could have Stan and Lou Ferrigno sign it,
Unfortunately I was only able to get Lou to sign it as I had to leave
before Stan, here is my boxset:

I have always enjoyed various Main Stream Superheros, as a kid I would grab metal garbage can lids and be Captain America (the garbage can lids could fly almost as well as his shield), grab a sheet from the clothes line and be Superman, pretend my bigwheel was a bad arse Bat BIke.
As I physically grew up (mentally? the jury is still out on that) I would pick up an occasional comic to read, but I never went full bore into comics, I always told myself I didn't have time.
I met The Vox at work and he inspired and encouraged (peer pressure a lovely thing) to start with Comics, I went nuts with the launch on the New 52, and during the same time The Vox Introduced me to minimates. it became an addiction real fast, it was a great way to see so many different types of Spider Man... J/K it was actually a unique way to learn more about Super Heros and Villans and with so many variations it has been fun hunting down related comics to follow an Arc or see where the ideas came from.
After about 2 years of collecting I believe I am approaching 600 minimates.
They are small, easy to collect and display, there a conversation piece for all ages (my parents take a look at them when they stop by and often remember their days gone by.

I found this news Article in my Local news, though it is a man from Germany who the story is about. I thought it cool enough to share: (hopefully the links will work)
If you click the link there are some pictures
WUPPERTAL, Germany — A German man has turned his love of the "Iron Man" franchise into profit: he created a working replica of Iron Man's laser-firing arm gadget.
Patrick Priebe, 29, started building gadgets when he needed something to distract him from being dumped by his girlfriend. He used to do it as a hobby, but ended up selling most of the gadgets through his website: http://www.laser-gadgets.com/ He decided to turn gadget-building into a full-time job after he was let go from his job in September, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Iron Man gadget took Priebe 130 hours and $650 to build, but he was offered more than 2,000 euros — about $2,660 — shortly after posting a
showing how it worked.The red and gold metal shell is equipped with two 1.2-watt blue lasers and two 4-milliwatt red lasers. Priebe shows off his creation throughout the first half of the video, and puts it into action in the second half. He uses the red lasers to aim at two balloons, and the blue lasers to destroy them.
The "Iron Man Guantlet," as Priebe calls it, is not the first of his gadgets to get mainstream attention. In 2001, he built a
because he was "bored and injured." Story by:Stephanie Grimes, ksl.com ReporterSo I thought it was pretty cool, and thought most of you all would be able to geek on it a little bit.

I love Minimates because...They are an easy and fun connection to my inner child, they are easy and fun to collect, it is exciting to learn of and see what is coming out next. I find myself wanting to collect them as they come out whether or not I know anything about them. They are just so wicked awesome!
