"With great power comes great responsibility!"
- Stan Lee
This weekend in Cincinnati you can meet 13 of your favorite Film/TV stars and over 45 of your favorite comic creators all in one building! Celebrities such as Stan Lee, John Barrowman (Arrow, Doctor Who, Torchwood), Karen Fukuhara (Suicide Squad), Adam Baldwin (Independence Day, Firefly, Serenity), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca!), Teddy Sears (The Flash, American Horror Story) and many more will be at the Cincinnati Comic Expo this weekend!
The Cincinnati Comic Expo plays host to the latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, movies, television, artwork, games, and toys. The Expo has panels, autograph sessions, and photo ops that give you a opportunity to interact with your favorite creators and celebrities. Admission to the Cincinnati Comic Expo is as follows for online pre-purchase:
Friday (Adult: $25/Youth: $5)
Saturday (Adult: $35/Youth: $5)
Sunday (Adult: $30/Youth: $5)
An Adult All Weekend pass is $60 and $10 for Youth if you plan on attending the Expo all 3 days. The Cincinnati Comic Expo website (https://www.showclix.com/event/cincinnaticomicexpo2016) also has VIP packages for pre-purchase as well as tickets to the 2016 Geek Prom and the Zombie Walk After-Party. Admission also includes the Kid Zone, the costume contest, and other exciting events throughout the weekend!
In addition to hosting some of our favorite celebrities and comic creators, the Cincinnati Comic Expo has a few things that you can't find at other comic conventions. They host the Zombie Walk which starts at the Freestore Foodbank (1141 Central Parkway) and ends at the Duke Energy Convention Center. Instead of an admission fee for the walk they ask that you bring coats and canned goods to the FreeStore FoodBank for donation. The Cincinnati Comic Expo also hosts a Blood drive on Saturday and Sunday from 10-4 at the convention center in Exhibit Hall A & B. And last but not least, Saturday evening at the convention center (Hall C) from 8-midnight you can attend the 2016 Geek Prom! You must be 18+ to attend (unless accompanied by a parent or guardian) and can come dressed in your favorite costume!
Don't miss the Cincinnati Comic Expo this weekend (September 23-25) at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati!
Excelsior!
