I made an article a few years back that is now buried away, but it was about Fountain City Con. I couldn’t tell you what year that was, but I’m guessing it was their first year. Instead of pulling it up and drawing comparisons to FCC’s old self, I’ll keep …

2023 is our fifth year of covering Naka-Kon, a local con in our area. My photographer and I experienced the event and really took what it had to offer. In previous years we’ve questioned whether or not the event was worth traveling to, we’ve discussed how it celebrates Japanese heritage, …

Kansas City’s biggest comic convention came around again in 2023. I attended it on my own this time. Not to spoil anything, but I can tell you we had much more fun this year and there was more to do. So let’s skip over this boring old intro and get …

Kansas City, MO is a place on the map that just keeps growing. There’s simply no reason why we shouldn’t have a gaming expo that grows into something rivaling the larger ones. But, maybe without all of the corporate rigamarole? Well we’re doing just that and if you live nearby, …

Naka-Kon 2022 just finished up and it’s time to discuss what makes Naka-Kon great. This time last year, I was reporting about Naka-Kon, but it felt a bit sad. We had more of an uncertain world and there seemed to be less attendees. This year, Naka-Kon appeared to be back …

Another year of Planet Comicon has come and we have the coverage to prove it. But I set out to do something different with it this time. I wanted to discuss whether or not I think it would be something that I would make the trip for if I still …

I’m not calling these a review this year. 2021 at conventions is full of anxiety and fear, but also excitement. I knew I wanted to go, I also knew I didn’t want to get sick. So, while I was invited as press for those 2 events, I only went one …

Hello again everyone. This last weekend my friend was in town so we decided to take a visit to the NexTech KC. The event was being held at the HyVee Arena (previously Kemper Arena). First we stopped off at Waffle House and got our fill. Then we headed on to …

This last Saturday I visited something a little out of the ordinary for myself. I popped on over to KCGameOn. It is a round the clock multiplayer gaming event. TL;DR, I loved it and think it’s one of the better events Kansas City has to offer. Here, let me explain …

While we haven’t been going to these every single year of their existence, we have been going for a few years now. This year was a big deal for the people who put the show together. But was the audience enamored at who they saw, did they get their hands …

Every year Planet Comicon is touted as the premier nerdy convention of the center of the US. You might think that that’s not a big deal, but they get big names every year and it generally is a good time! Was this year any worse or better? Did it feel …

The last time I attended a local convention here in the Midwest, I did more of a review of it. I thought it might be a good idea to pit it against the others that I had been to. The thinking behind this was to inform anyone that is in …
