Alrighty folks – ’tis the week of Baltimore Comic-Con, and I’m stoked to get to the convention center this weekend! I’ve got a wicked case of Con Crud from hitting Small Press Expo last weekend, but I’m hoping to at least get there for one day…but I’m pushing for two, and hoping for a hat trick. #allthecoldmeds
Want to get ready, and max out your con experience? Well, here’s the 411 from the BCC staff, with all the news that’s fit to print. (I second the idea of using Parking Panda if you’re driving up. Parking can be…a chore around here.)
See you at the con!

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – September 19, 2017 – The 2017 Baltimore Comic-Con is just around the corner. We know we’re providing a lot of information in a short period, but we wanted to make sure you have all of the important details about the show!
Of course, as always, we are at the Baltimore Convention Center, and this year’s show takes place the weekend of September 22-24, 2017.
