Long Beach Comic & Horror Con 2011 Photo Report

[Baron]

Here's some photos I took at this past weekend's Long Beach Comic & Horror Con 2011 (formerly Long Beach Comic Con).

 

The event is getting bigger (now in its third year) and was a pretty fun show without all the hustle and grind of Comic Con traffic. Lots of opportunity to meet your favorite artists and writers, cosplayers and new comics.

 

Here's are a few establishing shots. The layout was much wider than last year with the artist alley taking a big central location in the main hall. There were several panels going on upstairs as well as the Zombie Walk being held separately on Sat. night trying to break a record.
