The real question is whether the convention, in its current format is beneficial for the comic books as an art form? The comic book is at the cornerstone of this yearly event. In a sense, it's easy to make comic books more acceptable by colluding them with related media and activities, like games, action figures and films. In the greater scheme of things, it's all the same some would say.

I can't help but feel sorry for the artists sitting in Artist Alley. They are like old dinosaurs that cannot be ignored.
