CINCINNATI, COMICS AND SENTAI

"Typically, a comic book is released and later becomes a major motion picture. In the case of Monster Management Security Bureau of Cincinnati (MMSBC), that is certainly not the case. The indie comic from writer/artist Ricky Henry started out as a failed attempted as an independent film and now after many trials and tribulations lives on as a comic book. Join Ricky and a few people who worked closely on the film, as they take you through the journey of how NOT to make a movie, the writing process for young writers, and the power to never to give up on your biggest dreams. This panel also marks the final day of filming of the documentary "Managing Monsters" a rise and fall story of MMSBC. Do you want to be in the movie? Do you want a free poster just for attending the panel? Get to it! We're making Cincinnati comic book history!"

Gaming Section Hours to be Extended at the Cincinnati Comic Expo

The organizers of the Cincinnati Comic Expo, in cooperation with Yottaquest, are pleased to announce an extension of gaming hours at the Cincinnati Comic Expo. The Cincinnati Comic Expo will end at 5:30pm on Saturday, September 17, but the Gaming Room will remain open until 10pm that night.

 

The decision was developed to give people ample time to learn and enjoy the games available. Some of the games on hand could involve hours of playtime. By extending the time to play the games, then people have the opportunity to come downtown and enjoy both the comic book portion of the Expo and then the extension of the gaming hours.

 

The Expo does not interfere with any of the earlier hours of the gaming portion as well, so people could come down and enjoy a full day of gaming if they wish. The gaming section opens at 10am, the same as the rest of the show.

 

Our friends at Yottaquest are the official Cincinnati Comic Expo sponsors of the Gaming Room. Each game will have its own designated table where a staff member will be present to play the game with you and your friends. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about some of the hottest games in the industry. Plus you won't need to read the rulebook as an expert will be on hand to teach the game.

 

For a list of some of the games on hand, check out the gaming section of the Cincinnati Comic Expo webpage at http://www.cincinnaticomicexpo.com/gaming.php. For more information on the show as a whole and to purchase tickets, check out http://www.cincinnaticomicexpo.com/index.php. For local game play in the Cincinnati area, go to http://www.yottaquest.com.

 

 

Remember to save time and not wait in line, so buy your tickets now! If you are looking for something abit more special we have just a handful of VIP tickets left. Have a great week and only 15 days to the Cincinnati Comic Expo!
