Why I am Confident AVOX Will Have a Successful 1st Year.
So awhile back I did an article on how a new convention called AVOX would be a game-changer for Anime Expo in 2020. With these two events happening concurrently I thought it would be interesting to analyze how this con could affect the biggest anime convention in the United States. Well that didn’t play out…

Soda City Comic Con 2021 Review: Cozy but Unlucky
So in a rare case, I wound up attending two conventions last weekend. The first was Anime Weekend Atlanta which you can see the review for that here, and this convention. Unlike Anime Weekend Atlanta this was my first time going to Soda City Comic Con so I had no real expectations going into this…

Anime Weekend Atlanta 2021 Review: A Long Awaited Return
So this isn’t the first time I’ve gone to Anime Weekend Atlanta; however, it has been a while as the last time I went was way back in 2017. Now I had an awesome time back then and always wanted to go back but usually I would either have my sights set on cons with…

The Hero Con: A Strong First Year
So my preface is going to be a little longer than normal because I have quite a bit of background information to talk about. First of all I was torn between going to this and Wasabicon during the same weekend and that was because both of these events were kind enough to follow me. This…

Alabama Comic Con/My Hero Con 2021 Review: The Fusion Worked Perfectly, The Parking Did Not

Lexington Toy and Comic Convention 2021 Review: Everything Changed For The Better
After so long I finally got to return to the one convention I go to on a yearly basis, Lexington Toy and Comic con; however, a lot changed for the venue during the pandemic. Rupp Arena got a major remodel so upon entering the building it was an entirely different experience than any of the…

Megacon 2021 Review: Met With Incredible Misfortune to Still Provide a Great Experience
I’ve been to a few conventions this year but this was the first event anywhere near this size that I attended after things started to close down for the pandemic and honestly I was nervous going into this because I got so accustomed to being at or close to home and haven’t gone anywhere that…

Smoky Mountain Fan Fest 2021 Review: Steps In The Right Direction But Has More Steps To Go
This year Smoky Mountain Fan Fest enters its 2nd year and I was actually present during it’s first year; however, it was a much smaller event and I wasn’t there long enough for me to feel like I could give it a proper review with all the details I like to give. This year though…

Indy Popcon 2021 Review: I Wish I Did This Sooner
So because Indy Popcon is only about five hours away from home and it looked like a lot of fun, it’s an event that has been on my radar for awhile. Sadly for most of that time something always conflicted with it, but this year I was able to go and I was honestly really…
