Day One! Captain Hammer (and fan) cosplay
When Geek Outlaw and I did a booth at Long Beach Comic Expo in March we ended up in a dark back corner of the Floor in an area we dubbed “The Batcave.” The one perk? We made an awesome friend in fellow Batcave sufferer, Taking Eden graphic novel creator Jason Beckwith. To make up for such a crappy location, they gave us a great deal (and a much better spot) for Long Beach Comic Con.
Day Two! Star Trek (2009) cosplay
Since we spent most of our time behind a table, most of the coverage is the amazing cosplay; however, we did have my very first “drink together” which is basically me telling all of my ConFam that they should know and be ConFam with each other too.
Before we get to costumes, here’s some of my fellow booth peeps – authors, artists, and actors – oh my!
Eye of the Gods and Morningstar creator/artist, Geremi Burleigh
Hero Chick creator (and our next door neighbor) David Arroyo
One of my favorite artists, Mike Hicks
My favorite new Thor [link to pic] artists, Ben Risbeck.
Author (and my Podthingy cohost) John Mulhall! Be sure to check out his supernatural thriller Geddy’s Moon and the final few days of the Kickstarter campaign for his new novel Dark and Broken Things.
Taking Eden creator, Jason Beckwith!
Conor and The Crosswinds author, Kevin Gerard

One of my faves, actor Todd Stashwick
