This morning, Wizard announced the New Jersey Comic Con, taking place in Edison’s New Jersey Convention & Exposition Center on October 15-17.

If that date doesn’t ring any bells for you, let me remind you that the previous weekend, October 8-10, is the New York Comic Con/Anime Fest.  And Wizard’s Big Apple Comic Con.

So.  Here is Wizard’s Astounding Master Plan™:

  1. Start off Con War I by scheduling Big Apple Comic Con at the same time as New York Comic Con, which, if successful, will probably not net any more attendees than previous years, and if failful, will decimate con attendance for Wizard. (The reaction I’ve seen seems to be anti-Wizard sentiment, so their evil plan™ might have already backfired.)
  2. After dividing the fans the previous weekend, possibly making them go to two different cons and spending double the money, plan to establish a new con.  The weekend after. 45 minutes away.  Because who would rather go to New York City when they could go to Edison, amirite?
  3. Have her open the box.

I really am curious to see how this plays out.  We got our start at NY Anime Fest, and will be there this year, so that is where we shall be.  Unless Wizard wants to woo us to Big Apple Comic Con by doubling our standard speaking fee of $20,000.

Everyone shut up and pretend we get paid for this and let’s see what happens. SHHHHHH.

And action figures. And replica derringers. And re-re-rereleased DVDs…) this makes me really really ridiculously excited.  Trigun is one of my all-time favorite anime (second to Utena) – you have a cast of characters that can do both goofy and dramatic, and a story that allows them that range.  The anime did something that is apparently revolutionary: even though the manga was still going, THEY WROTE THEIR OWN ANIME ENDING.  And trust me, it was better than the manga. (Wait, so spaceships saved the day and being brunette means you’re dying and now Meryl and Milly are tv reporters? What?)

The plot looks like it’ll take place somewhere mid-series, since it stars Vash, Meryl, Milly, and Wolfwood. (OMG SPOYLERZ).  And there’s a bigtime robber named Gasback (ah, Trigun names) and a female bounty hunter named Ameria (not gonna lie – I hope someone writes pr0nfic with her in it and titles it “In Ameria”.)

Here’s the trailer. Exciting!
