FREE HUGS BIATCHES.........!!!!
By Eduardo Martinez
Comic Con is a place to share common interests be them via comic books or computers. I remember as a teenager going to one of the very first Comic Con’s in NYC. I had a commodore 64 and went to get a deal on some floppy disks for it…lol.
I’m totally showing my age….I said floppy disks.

The one thing I noticed then that holds true today is the peacefulness of it all. Yes Comic-con has long lines, yes there are over 100,000 people walking through the exhibit rooms and yes it can get overwhelming.

However, that being said Comic-Con is one of the most mellow events out there.
What I loved about Comic Con was the way everyone enjoyed each others individuality. If you had a costume people would ask to take a picture and the person would do it with a smile and a pose. You’d share costume tips or just pleasantries.

On the lines the majority standing on them would be joking with each other or complimenting each others outfits. Who wouldn’t want to be part of this community? No ONE judges at Comic Con except if it’s a costume competition!

You see friends in awe at the graphic novel writers and artists who share their talents and work with the masses.
Father and sons walking around dressed as superheroes. How cool is that?
It might seem like I’m rambling on about Comic-Con and maybe I am…..but I don’t think I am.
Comic Con is awesome, it can get a little exhausting from walking around for hours but the energy is electrifying.
If you’ve never been to one you need to go.
