- Two Years Without a Con
Surprising no-one, WonderCon will be online-only again this year. Last year’s event was canceled just as we all started to realize that Covid-19 was spreading in California. And while the winter surge in cases is finally slowing down, the coronavirus is still more prevalent out there now than it was last March. They’re still hoping […]
- A quick note on cameras and cons
I brought my point-and-shoot Canon Powershot to Long Beach Comic Con on Saturday, using it for most of the indoor shots, without the flash. This may have been a mistake, as those photos were all blurrier than the ones I took with my phone. So on Sunday I brought the bigger FujiFilm camera…and had the […]
- 10 Years of Long Beach Comic Con! (2018)
Back in 2009, I attended the first-ever Long Beach Comic-Con, an event that filled the void left when Wizard World cancelled WWLA at the last minute. I had a good time, and it had a lot of support from the industry, but I wondered how long it would last. Ten years on, LBCC is still […]
- Professor Trelawney Cosplay at Long Beach Comic Con
Katie’s been talking about dressing up as Professor Trelawney for a while now. She put together the pieces for a costume over the last couple of weeks, and wore them on Saturday at Long Beach Comic Con. It was a huge success! Lots of people recognized the character and wanted photos. We even ran into […]
- A Short Visit to Long Beach Comic-Con 2017
We finally got the whole family out to this year’s Long Beach Comic Con on Saturday! That was the plan last year, but Katie and J. both got sick. Katie brought her Whitney Frost cosplay and managed to find not only an Agent Carter, but another Whitney Frost! At 6½, J. wanted to spend the […]
- Zooming Through Long Beach Comic Con 2016
One of the weirdest things about this year’s Long Beach Comic Con is how much moving the entrance to the other side of the convention center changed the flavor of the experience. For the last seven years, they’ve used the western entrance off of Pine Ave. with a big, open, glass lobby and an outside […]
- Whitney Frost Cosplay
The “big bad” of Marvel’s Agent Carter Season 2: Whitney Frost, a scientist/actress who becomes imbued with what she calls Zero Matter, a destructive energy force (just visible in the form of the jet-black scar). She’s adapted from the comic book villain Madame Masque. Like the Once Upon a Time Alice, she doesn’t seem to […]
- Long Beach Comic Con Hits its Stride in 2015
Twice the floor space, twice the programming, and they filled it! The show has turned into one for comics and art, plus the usual cosplay, signings etc.

- It Came from the Long Beach Comic & Horror Con 2013
My lack of a plan for this year’s con made the show floor less satisfying, but the panels were great: Marv Wolfman, Scott Lobdell, Mark Waid, Young Justice.
- WonderCon Staying in Anaheim for 2014, Long Beach Comic-Con Next Week
It’s official: WonderCon will be back in Anaheim next year, which means I’m almost certain to go. Coming up sooner, though: Long Beach, next weekend.
- Return of Long Beach Comic & Horror Con! (2012)
Lots of comics, lots of Star Wars, Avengers and zombies, a little horror, a little comedy, and a little speed force in this fourth year of Long Beach Comic Con.
- Long Beach Comic and Horror Con 2011: Still Got It
A day at LBCC: costume-watching, cheesy vintage horror comics performed on stage, meeting writers and artists, discovering webcomics, and–hotel rappelling?
- Overheard at a Comic Con
Overheard at LBCC: “Some guy asked me, what’re YOU dressed up as? And I said…a Muggle?”
- Long Beach Comic Con 2010 — Saturday Con Report
LBCC is shaping up to be a very artist- and writer-focused convention, definitely worth a visit from Southern California comic book fans.
- Con Report: Long Beach Comic Con 2009
The first-ever LBCC was a fun, comics-focused show where I got to meet artists and writers without standing in crazy long lines, and break some Flash news.
- Wizard World LA & Long Beach: A Tale of Two Convention Centers
Wizard World Los Angeles started in Long Beach, moved to LA, then shut down. Long Beach Comic Con rose to take its place. But what’s going on in LA instead?
