Amazing Arizona Comic Con [Upcoming Event]

Photo by: istolethetv

Being the observant reader you are, you may have noticed that the last two cons I’ve posted about had something in common…

You guessed it – tentacle fetishes.

Oh, and they’re both happening the same weekend.

Well, today’s post is no exception as The Amazing Arizona Comic Con also falls into the same weekend as next month’s TaiyouCon and MythosCon.

But for the geek who shys away from brightly colored wigs and brooding authors, this con is offering some good old fashioned comic book fun.

    Their list of Special guests is pretty impressive, given the size and age of the con, with new guests being announced all the time. It includes some of the cast from Walking Dead, the WD man himself, Robert Kirkman, and a ton of local talent.

    They’re also boasting the biggest MTG tournament in the southwest.

    • Going down January 8th and 9th.
    • At the Mesa Convention Center.
    • Tickets are a very reasonable $25.
    • Buy ‘em here! (Or just about any comic shop in the valley.)

    My favorite thing about this comicon? Their logo is an orange triceratops for some reason!

    I honestly don’t know why, but it makes me happy.

      Gotta admit, the dinosaur is random. ;) I plan to hit it, wanna see the Walking Dead actors and cruise the local artists’ tables. :)

        I’ve read the first Walking Dead book, but I haven’t seen the show yet. Is it as good as everyone on the internet says it it?

        • Anabel says:

          Actually, I find the story ‘meh’ and overridden with tropes, but there are 2-3 characters I am fond of and continue watching for them. I have not read the comic yet, so I can’t compare. :(

      Anabel- A case can be made for the logo as Mesa is home to a fantastic Nautral History Museum, and the colors represent the hometown Phoenix Suns. But the bottom line is that I like Dinosaurs, and the color orange is my favorite, and that’s why we went with it ;)

      Jonathan- We’re huge WALKING DEAD fans- both the comics and the TV Show, so therefore we have the GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATED, #1 NEW TV SHOW (Entertainment Weekly) representing BIG TIME at the show.

      ANd the best thing about the WALKING DEAD at the AMAZING ARIZONA COMIC CON? all the autographs are FREE!

      This is one of the few comic book show appearances by these actors- both Steven Yeun and Jon Bernthal are LEAD CHARACTERS- and they will be hanging out with fans all day on Saturday. the convention organizers are taking care of all costs.

        Hey, I like dinosaurs too, and the Great Octopus loves orange. It’s a great logo.

        Thanks for swinging by the site and adding some details about your con, Jimmy!
