There’s an electricity in the air, a seismic shift as the forces of pop culture harness their sin- gular gaze on the city of Buffalo for The 16th Annual Buffalo Comicon which will be happening at the CBuffalo Niagara Convention Center this Saturday and Sunday. Over the course of two days, hundreds of people will be attending with a single-minded purpose: to nerd out as hard as they possibly can. And it’s going to be awesome. Much like your average comic book superhero, Comic Conventions had a humble start in the early 70’s before becoming the massive event it’s known as today. But it wasn’t always so well received. When the first comicon began on March 21, 1970 in San Diego, it was a tiny, one day affair known as San Diego’s Golden State Comic-Minicon ¬– a beta test for EDITOR’S a gathering of like-minded nerds, geeks, and pop culture obsessives. The PICK event attracted a staggering 100 people and two celebrity guests: Forrest J. Ackerman, who is essentially the father of modern sci-fi fandom, and comic book artist Mike Royer. Fast Forward 45 years, comicon has taken on a life of it’s own. Sprouting up in cities all over the world, the events attract thousands upon thousands of cosplay characters, authors, artists, actors and more for a truly unique experience like no other. This weekends event is hosted by Queen City Bookstore, one of America’s first comic book shops that opened up in Buffalo in 1969. You definitely don’t want to miss out on the action. Whether you want to see folks dressed up as your favorite superhero or simply want to hear from some of the very special guests they have attending this year, Buffalo Comicon will have something for everyone. For more info and tickets, you can visit buffalocomicon.com.
