My hopes for Emerald City Comic Con weren’t high this year. I was fresh off of working San Diego Comic Con for the first time and feeling underwhelmed with the artist alley areas. As it turns out, I’ve been spoiled by ECCC—of all the conventions I’ve been to, they have the most robust artist alley….

ECCC 2019: Nola’s Zine Haul
Going into Emerald City Comic Con this year, I had one, focused goal: Zines. I never got to write it up, but I spent a lot of last year at panels and, while I enjoyed them, I also constantly felt like I could just be at Artist Alley instead. This year I leaned into that…
DC PUBWATCH – March 2019 and Emerald City Comic Con
For the news this month, it’s something a little different.

Con Diary: ECCC, The Convention Unconventional
It feels like we were just writing about convention season ending, and now here we are in the midst of a new one. I confess going into this year’s ECCC with a little trepidation. Last year, the day after the convention was the beginning of our several-week-long site outage. It was a stressful mess, coming…

Con Diary: Emerald City Comicon Day 3
I was taken to my very first con in 2011 by my unapologetically geeky, big sister. Back then, Emerald City Comic Con’s exhibition floor spanned only half of the fourth floor’s ballrooms. In 2014, the entire Washington State Convention Centre is home to the northwest coast’s premiere comic book and pop culture convention. With so…

Emerald City Comicon: Smashing Con Harassment
I spent last weekend in Seattle as an attendee of Emerald City Comicon, and honestly, I’m still coming down from the whole experience. It was awesome. While it was my third time attending ECCC, it this was my first time cosplaying. It was my first time cosplaying EVER. I had no idea what to expect,…
