Another year at Emerald City Comic Con has come and gone, and this year I decided to take a more laid back approach to the show coverage, but still share a ton of fun pictures with my people (That's you guys!). I also connected with a few comic creators that have some really cool projects out or in the works that we'll post about in the coming weeks. Stay tuned
The weekend pretty much started in the Funko booth line to snag a few exclusives!

My highlight of the weekend! Meeting the one and only, 16 time World Champion, the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Yes, he was indeed stylin and profilin! Whoooooooooooo!!! Flair was one of my bucket list to meet people!
Also ran into Dennis Hopeless, who was at the Boom Studios booth promoting his WWE comic. You all know I'm a wrestling fan, so I had to check it out.
These covers are awesome!!!!
 |
| Another highlight, was meeting the super talented youngster, Millie Bobby Brown, who portrayed Eleven on the hit series, Stranger Things! She was a really enthusiastic and sweet kid. |
Jason David Frank! The Green Power Ranger. He was on hand supporting his Bloodshot cover, and the upcoming Bloodshot live action movie. He was really cool dude. I will post about this book soon too!
Last but not least...I couldn't go to a con without the mandatory Jerikanda and thestevestrout selfie! We were fortunate enough to be joined by the lovely Abi Sue Cosplay too! Click on their names and follow them both!! Tell them I sent you!!
My next couple conventions will be Supernatural Celebration in Seattle, and Crypticon. Crypticon wil be huge for me as a fan, because I will finally get to meet George A Romero. Romero did the original Night Of The Living Dead, my favorite horror film of all time, and has been on my bucket list of people to meet! It's going down.
