By Renee Hansen
On Labor Day weekend, Atlanta, Georgia, will be the place to be if you are looking for a fantastic multi-media pop culture con. Dragon Con will be hosting its annual event, and the guest list is incredible and includes several Walking Dead universe actors. Tickets are on sale on the website, and you can purchase merch and workshop passes as well. Dragon Con offers a virtual event for those not yet ready to attend an in-person event.
This event, like most cons, has a lot to offer its attendees. There are many costume contests, including masquerade, Star Wars, Video Game and Animation/Anime. There is a Miss Star Trek Universe Pageant and Robot Battles. The workshops offered cover various topics, including the art of magic, board game and RPG design, Tai Chi, voice acting, and several writing workshops.
The Comics and Pop Art section features a wide variety of creators from comic, animation, pop surrealism, lowbrow, and art toy design. Attendees can meet their favorites, get autos, purchase items and attend panels. The list of vendors is impressive, taking up three floors.
