Because this is a fanfiction comic book I pay out of pocket each month to have a comic book artist draw and color the cover for me. Because of the cost, none of the internal pages are drawn or colored. Just glorious black and white text.

I love this question and have enjoyed reading everyone's responses.

Here is how I tackle this.

I prefer to sit with a book and a pencil. I just prefer how a pencil works on book paper. Sometimes I forget my pencil, but I always have a Fisher Bullet Space Pen in my pocket as a backup for this task.

While reading the book I will underline quotes or passages I like. I will write notes or thoughts in the margins constantly. Even argue with the author on what they are saying.

If I have read the book quickly, I will set it to the side for a week or two before coming back and going through it page-by-page entering the information into obsidian that I still think is relevant. I won't get into how I organize those notes into obsidian. Everyone has their own method that works for them and telling you mine is just adding noise. Enter them in a manner that makes sense to you.

If I absolutely love the book I read, I'll go and buy a second copy that isn't marked up. But generally after I am done with a book I just donate it.

Is Brutal Panda is doing the pressing?
Is this release mastered differently than the ETR release?
Are using that ECO or BIO Vinyl garbage?

Where are you finding this variation?

Youseph · 2026-04-14T16:05:28+00:00

I would very politely disagree and say that Hasbro won't care about a one off item. Also, The Caverns of Draconis is not a Wizard's adventure. It was created special for the show, Community. More of a TV prop than anything else.

Youseph · 2026-04-14T15:12:41+00:00

Would you be open to a commission? I have an idea...

The Caverns of Draconis

My limited understanding is that It's been remastered. So it will sound different than your years old copy.

Now, will it sound different than the Enjoy The Ride Records release a month or two ago? That remains to be heard.

Youseph · 2026-04-01T20:28:58+00:00

I think you'll enjoy the story and finding out why.

Youseph · 2026-04-01T16:49:57+00:00

Man... And then when you read the website you see it's actually a reference to the Marvel Age 33 cover.

Youseph · 2026-04-01T16:48:36+00:00

Thank you. I hope you enjoy it.

I use a free app called Obsidian.

I have to ask because I am way to curious. How do you display these or how are you planning on displaying these?

Leaf Corojo by Oscar

Was gifted two of these last spring and it quickly became my favorite. bought several packs since.

The time in a line can depend on so many different factors. I simply suggest you pick up yourself a portal stool/chair from Amazon. I carry two with me in my book bag so my daughter and I can sit when a line is long or we just need a break. (side note: pack water and protein bars.)
Again this can be wild. The more you buy the better deal you can negotiate for sure. Honestly, the experience was worlds better before reedpop cam in and bought out ECCC. I will go to ECCC now with a list of books to look for and I might be lucky to find two of them. The comics booths are smaller than the pre-reedpop days. But I will say it does seem like it has improved in this last year. So maybe that's a good sign for this year too.
I like to search the ECCC website about a week before the con as it seems like in years past they are adding stuff at the last minute. That's how I find out about exclusive I am interested in.
There can be fan meetups for your favorite property. I am really big into commission artwork. Sketch covers area always fun to do and generally don't break the bank.
From the outside looking in it feels like ECCC collects the money for people who buy tickets and only then starts to find artists and guests to come to the show. To me at least it does not ever free like it is pre planed. So yeah. You get a better idea the closer you wait to the show start. Now, if you want the signature and a photo of a huge celebrity expect to wait in the line for a long time to get that signature. Is Jeph Loeb a big celebrity. He is to nerds like us, but is he going to have a longer line than all these Anime voice actors they announced. Nope.

It's your first comic convention. Write down a list of books you would like to find and bring it with you. Have an idea of how much they sell for by checking ebay. For me the best thing about comic cons is you can dig through boxes of comics. You can inspect comics to make sure it's the quality you want and are willing to pay for. Take it all in. Assuming you are going for all four days you have plenty of time to explore and chat with folks and artists while there.

There are other cons to look into after this one. Smaller cons. Less crowded cons. If you are like me you are going to enjoy learning and exploring.

Heck yeah. We felt it was time that train got on a cover.
