The Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) returned to McCormick Place on August 5th-7th, 2022.
Even though I go into Sunday of C2E2 knowing that it ends early, it almost always catches me unaware. The schedule of events is chock-full until the very end, including the Cosplay Central Showcase and the wrap-up party in the convention center lobby! I managed to pop by Family HQ in the afternoon and saw little ones learning to play Quidditch, as well as Harley Quinn, Polka-Dot Man, and Batman from League of Enchantment Chicago reading stories!
