Note: Get the full lineup of FCBD Mini-Con 2015 guests here. Free Comic Book Day Mini-Con is this Saturday, May 2. Doors open at 9 am. We're giving away 20,000 free comic books. At the Mini-Con, West Coast Avengers will be selling raffle tickets for an amazing prize package. All proceeds will benefit Shriner's Children's Hospital of Northern California. The West Coast Avengers, a non-profit costuming group, provides a "collective identity" for Marvel Universe fans to create, own, and wear their favorite film, comic, and television hero costumes.
With a focus on fun and creativity, the group encourages members to "capture the magic" of Marvel by portraying accurate representations of various characters through individual costumes. While allowing for some "creative modifications," the group holds itself and its members to child-appropriate and family-friendly portrayals.
The West Coast Avengers puts its costuming and creative talents to work in the community through various fundraisers, charity work and volunteerism. Last year at FCBD, "California's mightiest heroes," raised money for Shriners Hospital for Children. We're thrilled to announce that they'll be on hand this year to do the same!
Meet West Coast Avengers Initiative at FCBD Mini-Con
Come out on May 2 to meet and take pictures with your favorite West Coast Avenger and help raise money for a worthy cause.
We had such a great time hanging out in the store with Sacramento artist Eric Nguyen. Here’s a photo collage of the event and a link to the replay of our online interview.
I'm excited to share the completion of many years of work. Also, I'd like you to know, that I''ve started a new email newsletter to talk about all my creative work. If you're a fan or just curious, please check it out on Substack.
The year is quickly coming to its end, but the fun is not! Here’s a look at the Black Friday deals, some upcoming events, and our holiday hours for November.
