Comic Con Returns to the Quad Cities September 1st & 2nd
I know Andi is excited for this one. This is going to be a busy weekend for the QC! Labor Day weekend. We have Marvel Universe Live, Beaux Art Fair, and now the return of the Quad Cities Comic Con. From the looks of their facebook event page, people are pretty hyped for it! Apparently, they are going all out for this one too. Check it out at the QCCA Expo Center.
As stated on their facebook...
The Quad Cities Comic Con is back and even bigger! With more vendors, more artists, more guests, more everything (but still the same low price)! We can't wait to see you all there, and don't forget, everyone gets a free comic at the door, and admission for kids 12 and under is always FREE!
Get tickets here.
