100 Days to Phoenix Comic Fest 2018
From Phoenix Comicon to Phoenix Comic Fest…
As more and more guests are announced and more information is being released in regard to changes to be made at this year’s premiere Arizona comic book convention, we’re starting the countdown to Phoenix Comic Fest taking place this coming Memorial Day Weekend.Some of you are wondering what happened to Phoenix Comicon??
At the beginning of 2018, Phoenix Comic Fest announced on their Facebook page:
“In recent months, the use of the word Comic-Con, and its many forms, has become litigious. We would prefer to focus on creating the best events and experiences for our attendees. Therefore, effective immediately, our event held annually in Phoenix in the spring will be rebranded as Phoenix Comic Fest. It will take the remainder of this week to transfer our website, social media sites, and other assets to the new name. In the meantime, we look forward to bringing you more guest announcements, more comic creators, more programming, and more excitement for 2018. In the coming weeks, look for announcements about our improved entry points and security, new partners, and more!”
Thanks, San Diego Comic Con 🙁

Well-versed in the details of the never-to-be-forgotten and sadly never-to-be-repeated Bronze and Copper Age of Comic Books, but was an innocent bystander during the Chrome Age and accepts no responsibility for it, your Hometown Geek loves all things comic-book related from any era.
Although biased toward Apple products, your Hometown Geek doesn't feel like a Hipster. Fascinated by all the tech at hand in the world today and anxious to try out all different forms of new and old media, the Geek still has an incredible fondness for the old movies of the 1930s and 1940s and loves to fall asleep to TCM - Turner Classic Movies.
