I attended a WW con here in Portland in 2015. I was completely underwhelmed and felt I got about 1/3 the enjoyment I should have compared to the price of admission.
I will not go this year. All it was here, was a dealer room and celebrity meet/photo op. No panels, mild/modest cosplay. One seemingly "totally Portland" dealer...tattoo booth. Never seen a tattoo booth at Dragon, Mega, or Dream/ConJure before. Overall, if I'm doing a con, it's Dragon*Con for me.

I have never been to a WW show as they seem much more focused on pop culture and TV stars than anything else, and I would rather go to a Con more focused on comics (SCC, HeroesCon). Anyone have any thoughts on Wizard World? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
