It seems that my post from last year regarding 2016's comicons was a huge hit, so I'm back again to provide you with a breakdown of several upcoming 2017 cons. For those Ohioans who enjoy comicons but never attend because you don't know where to find them, here is a list of some comicons coming up around the state. I've linked each con's webpage to this post for your convenience. (Just to clarify, this is not a comprehensive list nor is it a list of cons that I will be attend

The increasing crowd sizes have forced the con to relocate to a larger venue, the Spire Institute in Geneva. Doors open at 11:00AM and close at 7:00PM. Be sure to stop by my booth for high-quality posters of your favorite he

Well, as they say, the check is officially in the mail. And, as another "thank you" to the dozens of wonderful donors who made American Knight come to life, here is a complete list of everyone who helped out. This list will also appear on the updated "Kickstarter" page of this site—now that it needs a complete overhaul! (I tried my best to find and include everyone's real names, not just SNs or online handles. Names appear in alphabetical order. Hope you enjoy!) Adam Strom Am
