Emerald City Comicon

If you live in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy comics, then you need to check out Emerald City Comicon! The Con takes place on April 4th & 5th at the Convention Center in downtown Seattle and ticket prices are $25.00 for the 2 day pass and $15 for just a one day pass. You can buy tickets online or buy them at the many comic book shops listed on the link. Last year and this year, I have been involved with this Comicon and I have to say, I look forward to Comicon every year! It is typically the highlight of the year for me. This Con is awesome and we have some great celebrity guests lined up this year including:

• Aaron Douglas, who plays Chief Galen Tyrol on Battlestar Galatica
• Tahmoh Penikett, who plays Captain Karl “Helo” Agathon, also from Battlestar Galactica
• Jewel Staite, who starred in both Firefly and Stargate Atlantis

And as for comic artists and writers:

• Brian Micheal Bendis
• Ed Brubaker
• Frank Cho
• Tim Sale, whose artwork has been shown on the hit show Heroes

There are many more in the lineup.

Also we have a great artbook for sale that will benefit Seattle Children’s Hospital. The some of the original artwork will be on auction at the Saturday evening. There will only be 850 copies of this great book, so make sure that you get a copy!There will also be an original print for sale of Iron Man at Gasworks Park in Seattle. It’s pretty awesome!

So make sure that you get your tickets and get to the Emerald City Comicon! You will love it!
