Chicago Comic-con 09' (or how I big of a geek I am)

Comic book Convention is in full effect by the time it hits Chicago in August,But with me living in Chicago it is something that I always look forward to.
So excited to have all these creators coming to Wizardworld Chicago or how it is now called Chicago Comic-con (going back to the name that it had before Wizard purchased them in 1997.)

The list of creators is not as big as previous years, but I really look forward to meeting or even getting a sketch from any of these creators.
(I especially will be hounding Jim Cheung, Mike Choi and Freddie E.Williams II for sketches and find Jason Aaron & Dan Slott and bow to their greatness)
