Want To Attend A Comic Convention? Here’s PopCultHQ’s Short List Schedule of Cons

If you want the complete 2016 Convention list CLICK HERE

Ah, the comic convention.  An event we look forward to.  It’s our Disneyland, our Christmas, our birthday rolled into one.  A venue filled with comic books, graphic novels, trade paperbacks, artwork, sketchwork, sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, cosplayers, artists, writers, creators, and a slew of vendors.  A comic smorgasbord to whet our palette.  Deals are being made by vendors, celebrities are partaking in photo ops, and people are getting photos with some of the amazing cosplayers.

If you are looking to attend a con this year, or are curious as to cons relatively close, we compiled a list of the cons scheduled for 2015.  If it is of interest to you, feel free to click the event name. It will take you to the official website and have more info on the event.  Enjoy!

Thanks to the people at Valiant who have also provided popculthq.com with their convention line-up!
