Alt-Right Harassment Marring A Great Convention
I spent two fantastic days at Heroes Con 2019. Unfortunately, it seems there's a contingent of attendees out to ruin the experience for several creators. It apparently is happening to several artists that are openly LGBTQIA+.
My HeroesCon Experience Cosplaying With My Daughter
I decided to Cosplay again this year for HeroesCon. If you've never gone to a convention in costume, you should. I'm not saying that you should compete in the costume contest. That adds a level of competition to it, and for beginners, I wouldn't recommend it. The first time that you cosplay, the focus should be on having fun, and it can be fun.

HeroesCon Day Two

HeroesCon Day One
The first day of a large show like HeroesCon is never very crowded. This allows for fans to explore the hall and share more quality time with creators. This is also when dealers have the most stock. I got into the hall shortly after opening. The only thing really lacking today was a large number
Guardians Of The Geekery Interviews HeroesCon Founder
As our local big event, HeroesCon, nears, we all get curious about what it took to get to the point of putting on quite possibly the largest convention dedicated primarilly to comics.
