I went to my first comic convention in quite a few years (Megacon 2014 in Orlando) this weekend. I guess I was happy to see the large amount of people at the con but also disappointed with the large amount of people. It was so busy and jam packed that it was almost impossible to look at anything the vendors were selling. I was there on Friday and it was very busy, went back on Saturday (early) and it was crazy busy. I only ended up staying about 2 hours on Saturday and was outside for quite some time waiting for my ride to pick me up. During this time, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds more people were arriving. I really don't know where they would have all fit. At least San Diego will stop selling tickets after they max out, apparently Orlando does not.
The cosplay participants were extremely heavy and interesting to say the least. It was worth the price of admission just to people watch, both good and bad.
I was able to meet the governor from the walking dead but had a hard time finding some other attendees that I wanted to see.
One thing I found interesting was the amount of vendors actually selling comic books. I would estimate there were only 10-15%.
