Yeah. I know I always say this, but THIS show is one of my favorites every year. Rose City Comic Con in it's fourth year, has grown leaps and bounds while still remaining one of the fan friendliest pop culture conventions around.
You should seriously join us at RCCC in 2016!!!
I had a great time catching up with old and new friends. This convention had a little extra meaning for a few reasons:
1- It was a chance to bring my sister and her boyfriend to their first comic con.
2- I got to see my good friend Jeffrey Veregge be a guest as an official Marvel Comics artist at a major convention for the first time. Jeff recently signed on to advise and do art for the new Marvel series RED WOLF. Congrats on your successes, my friend. If you dont know Jeffrey Veregge's work yet, check him out at www.jeffreyveregge.com.
3- I had the pleasure of catching up with a couple celebrity friends in Grimm's Reggie Lee and Marvel Agents Of Shield's Brett Dalton (whom I recently interviewed if you haven't seen it yet: CLICK HERE). Two of the nicest guys you could meet. I've been lucky enough to become pretty acquainted with both and look forward to seeing them both again soon.
4- I met princess Leia herself! Carrie Fisher!
I got a bunch of pictures from the show here for you to check out. Thanks to Michael and Linz for some of the photos. Go follow Michaels's Funko Pop collecting adventures over at https://twitter.com/DelmarCollects ...enjoy the pictures...

Oh, apparenty I made dumb faces in all my pictures to
