Summer Convention Season 2019

Lee Roberts — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 18:04:51 +0000

Summer is basically upon us which means heat, more heat, sweating in the heat, and lots of people not smelling so good. I know what you are thinking, right from the start it sounds like I don’t like the Summer, but I do, and it’s for a good reason.
Cons!
Summer might mean heat and sweat but it also means con season is in full swing. There are conventions happening year-round, but during the Summer months we get some of the best cons for the year. So, look no further, here is a list of the upcoming Summer conventions.

Convention

10 Conventions Happening between May 12, 2018 and Sep 3, 2018 In and Near Atlanta and NC

Lee Roberts — Mon, 07 May 2018 09:59:41 +0000

It’s getting to be Summer time, and do you know what that means? Nope, not beach time. It’s time to put on the capes and cowls, lace up the boots, and stock up on money, because it’s con time. Though there have been a lot of cons happening, with the weather changing and the Summer coming, more cons will be happening pretty much every weekend.

Now I would like to be able to post about every con but I can’t. I don’t have the time and I just can’t find out about every single con that will happen. There are some that happen on just a single day that’s not posted about online at all leaving me with never even knowing they happened.

With Shakefire being an Atlanta, GA based site, I am only focused on the conventions that are in the surrounding area of ATL. These will be cons that can be drove to in a day and be back home later that night. Some you might want to stay for the whole weekend if you have the money but if not it would be easy to just make it for the day.

May 12-13 Savannah Mega Comic Con. Located at Savannah Civic Center, 301 W Oglethorpe Ave, Savannah, GA 31402.

Comic Con 2015 Nerd HQ and Some Exclusives

Lee Roberts — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 16:21:42 +0000

COMIC-CON 2015 EDITION

My last blog was about the upcoming conventions but this one will be only about 1 con in particular, San Diego International Comic Con. This is the big one for anyone that likes cons, so big in fact that as I sit here typing this out I'm working to get tickets for the Nerd HQ at the con and so far no luck in getting tickets because they literally sell out in about 2 seconds. You think getting a room at Dragon Con was tough, try getting some of these tickets.

Anyways, the con is huge, it features just about everything you could want to do and see. Want to see celebrities? They're there. Want some exclusive merchandise that is well, exclusive? That's there also. How about finding out about shows/movie/comics straight from the people that do them? Guess what, also there.

This is not about getting the tickets though, this is a blog on some of the few things that you can see and do at the con if you are lucky enough to go to it. However, with the talk of tickets and what I've been unsuccessful in doing this morning (getting tickets), I'll start with the Nerd Machine at Nerd HQ events. Here's the line up for the Nerd HQ and times.

THURSDAY JULY 9, 2015

1) Zachary Levi 10AM

2) Dead Rising with Jesse Metcalfe, Dennis Haysbert, Zach Lipovsky (director), and guests at 1PM

3) William Shatner at 2:15PM

So that's just one section of the con, there are so many things to see and do at this con that it would take me way too long to even try to list half of it and impossible for me to list it all. I've been watching for things that I would like to see and do if I was going to the con, this is that list.

1) Alex Ross, if you don't know him you don't read comics, which is possible but if you like amazing artwork then you should check out his booth #2419 and here is his newest addition, a sequel to “Tango With Evil”, this new one is called “Mind if I Cut In”.

2) Toys R Us will have a bunch of exlcusives, the two that interest me the most are the Star Wars The Black Series Jabba's Rancor Pit Set and the Batman vs. Harley Quinn Playset

3) Monogram DC 3D Foam Collector Key Ring Set

4) Another Star Wars exclusive, Star Wars The Force Awaken- 6-inch First Order Stormtrooper

5) Battle Tested Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

6) Action Figure Xpress Flash letter opener

7) FEMME FATALES HARLEY B&W PVC STATUE

8) Transformers Titan Class Devastator

9) Dark Knight Returns Box Set

10) WB Tote Bags, there's a bunch of them and they are all very cool

It's Con Time & Here Is A Easy List Of Them For You

Lee Roberts — Wed, 17 Jun 2015 22:12:23 +0000

Tis be the season.

No I don't mean the season for Christmas, even though you could say next month is technically Christmas in July, but that is still not what I mean. I'm talking about the season of the Con. Again, no, not the type of con where someone is trying to trick you or someone else but the con that stands for convention. Get your costumes out, the prop replicas ready to do battle, comics for signing, and money for everything you want to buy from comics to sketches to getting that extra piece that you've been longing for.

Once again, it's the season of the con and we are ready.

First up is the one right here in the city I live in, HeroesCon. This one is June 19-21, which is very close, like in just 2 days short, so if you don't have tickets it's time you start looking into it. If you live close and you like comics, you should come to this con. It's a really good one for finding books, getting sketches, meeting big name talent to big name local talent, and of course there is always the very cool cosplay.

So what other reasons is there for you to make it out to HeroesCon? Here's one that can only be said in 4 words....

STAN "THE MAN" LEE. Nuff said.

But if you want more, then just take a look at the least of guests that's going to be at the con. There's a lot of people that will be there that's some great creators and artists, like STEPHANE ROUX, an amazing artist that I got a head sketch of my favorite gal, Harley Quinn (which is my favorite of my Harley Quinn sketches) and he is also working on the new limited series that just came out today, Harley Quinn and Power Girl. There's also Mark Brooks, Time Sale, Joe Quinones, Kelly Sue Deconnick, Matt Fraction, and so so so many more. I go to this every year and every year it gets better and better with so many things to see, do, take pics of, buy, sale, trade, or just at times walk around to look at.

http://www.heroesonline.com/heroescon/guests/

Next up is the big mackdaddy of the cons, San Diego Comic Con Internation, or commonly known as Comic Con, or also Comic Con Internation San Diego. However you choose to call this con, it's the con to set all cons. Though, sadly I have yet to go to it (I will one year), this con gets talked about everywhere. This is the con where the big announcements are made in every aspect of the mediums from movies, shows, books, comics, games, figures, toys, and pretty much anything you can think of. There are exclusives that make other exclusives look like they are a dime a dozen, there are whole casts to movies, and this year there will be Star Wars Episode 7 there. Now I say it that way cause I don't know the details, I'm trying to avoid details on the new Star Wars movie so I saw that there will be something going on in Hall H but I don't know what. Could have the cast there with an exclusive trailer, that's what I'm thinking, in which case I'm sure someone will post it online soon after. But there really is everything to do it but if you are looking to go last minute I think that won't happen. Getting tickets to this con is almost near impossible when they go on sale and from what I understand they are already long sold out. But even if you are like me and can't make it out there, this is the time that I really do love social media and all it's forms because there will be so many people posting and websites posting that even looking at it all day I can't keep up.

Next is one that still has some time yet but is also a huge one that should be prepared for, Dragoncon. This one is from what I've been told, the party side to Comic Con. Though Dragoncon don't have as huge a list of events like the full casts of movies like Avengers showing up but it does have some huge name actors, celebrities, and creators appearing. There's a parade, there's panels, there's comics, there's toys, there's the cosplay, dances, games, meet ups, speed dating, and so much more. This is the con that has something for everyone and I really mean that. Though it might have it in a small amount, like maybe only one panel for how to edit a film, or it's the multiple panels of the big guests, it's there and even if you can't find it there, you will find something you like.

Some other cons, ones I don't really know about but here is a short list of ones you might live near that's coming up.

Derby City Comic Con in Louisville, KY June 20-21

Florida Supercon in Miami, FL June 25-28

Daisuki Anime Con in Cattanooga, TN June 26-28

Anime Midwest in Rosemont, IL July 3-5

Glacticon in Seattle, WA July 31-August 2

And for you internation folks...

Auto Assembly in Birmingham, UK August 21-23

Fan Expo in Toronto, Canada August 27
