The First Hartford Comic Con 2014

Hartford Comic Con 2014

Saturday, May 31st & Sunday, June 1st

XL Center - Hartford, CT

Had a great time checking out the new first ever Hartford Comic Con on Saturday.
Was only able to spend a couple hours - but was really pleased by the surprisingly large Artists Alley featuring
many current and on the rise artists. The show was quite busy for a first time event and there were plenty
of fans showing off their creative costumes. And while there were several well known Cosplay Artist, select
Pop Culture TV series guests, and some gaming tourneys - the show was definitely focused on Comics
vs. Hartford's other event ConnectiCon - which showcases more Gaming and Anime fare.

From all reports it looks to have been a big success and I look forward to spending more time at next year's show!
Below are a few quick photos I snapped...

And brought home this small but mighty print haul from 3 of my fave artists!

Preview Photos - Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law) - Tonight on Arrow

Just for the record - I've been pretty certain for a while Summer Glau's character (Isabel Rochev)
will ultimately be revealed as Talia al Ghul.

Ra's al Ghul's other daughter Nyssa - is a relatively modern (2003) addition to the al Ghul family - that I'm not all that familiar with. But she's generally known as Nyssa Raatko, Talia's Russian born 1/2 sister.
But that's why ARROW is cool - they're always re-mixing ideas from a broad range of DC material.

In any case - Nyssa's ARROW incarnation looks pretty badass.
