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

American comicbook fanboys are as bad as manga/anime fanboys. The split you speak is big, but only on the internet, but IRL for cons like Comic Con, there's no such thing really, since the intentions of Comic Con is to promote all things comic related, and that includes manga/anime, there's even game booths, and all sorts of assorted things, Comic Con is as big as it gets, imo for anything. But yeah, you won't be singled out for your views, I don't see why people just can't respect two different artforms with essientally the same purpose. Thats just stupid.
