C2E2 2012

For those who don't know yet I'm a huge Comics fan and every year in Chicago there has always been a Comic Book Convention in or around Chicago and the last couple of years the older CB convention has been decreasing in quality, thankfully in 2010 organizers Reed Pop who also runs the New York Comic Con, Star Wars Celebrations, UFC Fan Expos and PAX decided to bring their convention to downtown Chicago.

Chicago's Comics & Entertainment Expo or C2E2 is a convention spanning the latest and greatest from the worlds of comics, movies, television, toys, anime, manga and video games. this Year the show will take place in April 13-15, 2012 and is held at the North Building at McCormick Place located at 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, Illinois.

Each year the show gets bigger and bigger with more Celebrities from TV and Movies, more writers, artists,etc and so far this year it doesn't seem to be any different.
