We only had two panels to go to, with the second ending at 3:30 and we were going to call it a day. It was just as well too, since we were all feeling the pain of two days of mostly walking and standing.

It was for Boom! Studios&#8217; imprint KaBoom! for their kids comics and show the debut of their new series <em>Regular Show<\/em>. We arrived to a sparsely filled room which surprised at least one attendee, since the creator of <em>Regular Show<\/em>, JG Quintel was going to a panelist. After about 10 minutes of a Wondercon staffer trying to entertain us with a cartoon video on his laptop, he announced the panelists were no-show\/no call. But before anyone could leave, two people who work for KaBoom! on their <em>Peanuts<\/em> comics, <a href=\"www.gertler.com\" target=\"_blank\">Nat Gertler<\/a>, writer, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.studiorevolver.com\/#\/stephanie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stephanie Gladden<\/a>, artist, volunteered to come up and talk to us, just in case anyone called or came. They turned out to be interesting guests, especially Stephanie, who had a lot of experience at Cartoon Network in the early nineties. It was nice to see SOMEONE at Boom!\/KaBoom! step up. Stephanie has a web comic of her own, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.girlsofmonsterparadise.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Girls of Monster Paradise<\/a>.

They basically just ran down what was coming up in the next few months for all their titles. Of most interest to my youngest daughter was the <em>MLP:FiM<\/em>, but the writer and artist would only give hints about what was coming up. Suggestions from the audience included getting <em>Jem and the Holograms<\/em> going as a comic which I would totally buy, as would several members of the audience and even editor John Barber, and a massive crossover off all the Hasbro titles like their Infestation event last year. While there was some doubt about getting <em>MLP<\/em> in the same universe as <em>GI Joe<\/em> and <em>Transformers<\/em>, the writer and artist was game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/files\/2013\/04\/DSCN1090.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6209\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/2013\/04\/02\/wondercon-day-3\/dscn1090\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/files\/2013\/04\/DSCN1090.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;COOLPIX L120&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1364745443&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;31.8&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Free Shrugs\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/files\/2013\/04\/DSCN1090-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/files\/2013\/04\/DSCN1090.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6209\" alt=\"Free Shrugs\" src=\"http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/files\/2013\/04\/DSCN1090-300x225.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/files\/2013\/04\/DSCN1090-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/manga.jadedragononline.com\/fangirl\/files\/2013\/04\/DSCN1090.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>The day ended with one last run around the Exhibition Hall and a quick look out at the entrance for any more interesting cosplay. My final tally of loot was vol 10 of <em>Hellsing<\/em>, 7 Doctor Who vinyl mini-figs, with only one duplicate and an 11th Doctor! I filled two more holes in my Thor action figure collection, 3 in Doctor Who Series 6 collection, and picked up 3 <strong>One Piece Battle of Fishman Island<\/strong> blind boxes which yielded a Luffy, Nami and Usopp. I also got a Doctor Whooves t-shirt 10th Doctor version, and 3 cute buttons from Artist Alley; 2 Doctor Who and 1 Marvel Phoenix.
