I have enough problems as it is dealing with fellow anime fans (some are just too wierd to carry a real conversation with them) so as you can imagine I am in no place to talk with comic book fans.
Also I would like to mention that with AX there was no hesitancy because I knew that everywhere there are anime fans and no other, with other conventions there is the possibility of "other".
Also on other news....AX 2004 made it on the top of the page in anime news network

Wow...and here I've had the opposite experience with anime fans hating on American comics as a lower-life form.
Never once have I heard an American fan rag on anime or manga as being somehow lesser than Japanese comics.
Anyway, I'll be at Comic-Con this year.
