The general scrum for badges for this year's Comic-Con opens on Saturday at 9 am Pacific Time. But it order to purchase them you must get your place in the waiting room between 7...

Over the weekend there was a kerfuffle or two! Are you shocked? These involved comic cons which had promotions that seemed to forget that about 40% of the con going audience is now female.

With seemingly everyone putting on a comic-con, as business booms and it seems like easy money, we're finding more and more people who bit off perhaps a bit more than they could chew, and/or...

Hey kids, two shows coming up this month, First: Middle Georgia Comic Convention 2014 This is a BRAND NEW SHOW, held March 15-16 at the Macon Centerplex in Macon, GA. I have NEVER been to...

It may not be Con Wars, but it is con crunch. With the exploding popularity of comics/pop culture shows around the world, more and more events, some of them highly localized, are springing up. And as cons get more popular, suitable dates are becoming harder and harder to find. New York is currently home to three major events—the indie focused MoCCA Festival in April, the sprawling New York Comic Con in October, and the art comics focused Comic Arts Brooklyn in November. And now a summer show is coming: ReedPOP, the organization behind NYCC, is launching Special Edition NYC June 14-15 at the Javits Center. The show will be purely comics focused, without the video game/movie distractions of NYCC, and held in the popular shed-like “North Hall” where artists alley was held the last two years of NYCC. Ironically, this weekend – Father’s Day — is already hosting two other shows in the New York metro area.
