Tickets now on sale for Baltimore Comic-Con! Get on it, y’all.

Y’all. Y’ALL. It’s time to get ready to prep for this year’s Geek Nirvana; Baltimore Comic-Con. Comics, artists, mingling with fellow geeks, and STAN LEE. (And across the street, really good beer. Just so you know where I’ll be when I’m not on the floor.) This year’s ‘Con will be in September as always, the weekend of the 7th and 8th.

Yes, San Diego and New York sound awesome, and one day you’ll get over there. But ’til then, why not experience the awesome right near home? Yeah baby, that’s what I’m talkin’ about.

I’m hoping for a horror comics panel, but ’til the programming list is released I won’t know for sure. When that info comes, I’ll bring it to you. Meanwhile, take a look at the guest list, and read on for the full press release!

See y’all at the Con!
