Connecticut Comiconn Aug. 15-17 in Bridgeport, CT

Post by landocolt45 »

Comiconn is this Friday through Sunday at the Webster Arena in Bridgeport,CT. For Batman related guests, comic legends Neal Adams and George Perez will be in attendance. The Bat Tumbler, Bat Pod and 1966 Batmobile will be on display. Ruby Rinesko and Jennifer Rose are a few of the judges for the costume contest. It should be awesome!

This should be a pretty interesting con and is growing each year. The last 2 years, it was held at a Marriott, but was so crowded the fire dept and State Police had to come and shut the line down. This year they moved it to Webster Arena, and are adding some new features...
Should be a blast!!!

Had a good time at Comiconn, a decent mid-size show. Not a ton of stuff for me to buy but I did get to meet some cool people and was able to record some audio for my podcast. We met William Katt (greatest American Hero), Jordan Hembrough (Toy Hunter), Ming Chen (Comic Book Men) and Max Hernandez (SHIELD and Captain America)

It was great meeting up with BatBob and talking for a few minutes. We also ran into a few villains. I don't think they had a chase against two Batmen and one Robin.

Looked like a great convention! It's great to see so many people out there in costuming representing too!

ComiCONN has definitely grown since it's humble start a few years ago. They moved from a one-day gig at a Marriott to 3days at Webster Arena and if they continue, will grow and grow each year. Unfortunately, the 66 Batmobile scheduled for appearance never made it. :cry: Great seeing you there, Dave! You guys looked great! I ran into one little boy who was wearing a Rubies "altered" suit. Love it! He was VERY enthusiastic about that particular version of the "caped crusader"!

I was asked to receive the key to the city of Bridgeport by their Mayor on Saturday morning.

As well as perform in a singing act called "The Bat-Pack" which was created for this con.
