I feel a fever coming on. And the only prescription is more conventions! That’s right guys; convention season is right around the corner! What do I mean about that? Well our very next convention is going to be Southern Maryland Comic Con on July 7th! That’s right we get to come out of the 4th of July with a kick ass local convention. The last time we were here these guys blew us away with the fan support for such a small upstart convention. This time they are turning up the heat and going bigger, and better.
That’s right bigger and better! They have 90 tables of swag and art to go through. The place it’s “huger” (direct quote from Ben who runs the convention). And this time they have panels and events to spark up new interest! Everything from art making, to costume contests. From a panel about web comics, to a Conquest demonstration! You like Magic: The Gathering? Come take part in their humongous tournament scheduled to run from 11am all the way till 4pm featuring the new expansion Avacyn Restored!
Not to mention you will get to meet some serious talent. From artist ally stars, to local legends come meet some awesome artists of some of your favorite comics! Names like Tim Seeley (Revival), Greg LaRoque (Flash, Spider Man, Avengers), J.K. Woodard (Star Trek), and Matt Slay (TMNT, Marvel: Avengers Assemble!).
And as if that wasn’t enough to get you to come on out at 1pm yours truly will be hosting the first ever Grim Crews’ Zombie Apocalypse Survivor Quiz! You think you have what it takes to survive a zombie apocalypse? Our expert panel of judges will decide your worth as you compete against other contestants for fabulous prizes! Signups for being a contestant will be at the Raven Warren Studio Booth and will be open up till ½ hour before the panel. The contestants will be drawn randomly from the pool of sign ups and 4 lucky fans will get the chance to go head to head to become Grim Crews’ Zombie Apocalypse Survivor! All contestants will receive a prize for participating, with the prizes getting better and better as you progress! If you don’t get picked, don’t worry you’ll still have a shot at fabulous giveaways as I choose audience members to answer trivia questions and perform dares for comics. That’s right comics! What’s better than going to a comic book convention and getting free comics? Am I right?
Except maybe this sweet trophy for the costume contest!
