Cosplay? The usual abundance of Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn, but a definite uptick in the Black Widow and Captain Marvel categories. Our favorite obscure cosplay was the tight silver catsuit and purple wig worn by the main female character from S.H.A.D.O. in the 1960s TV series U.F.O. - talking about reaching back! (yeah, I know, I should've taken a photo)
And...oh yeah, Heroineburgh! We had a great spot this time (just like in December) in the big vendor hall just off the main promenade. The actresses who staffed our booth included our loyal assistant Tao (who will play barbarian villainess Kurgana in an episode this summer) on all three days; Sintilla (Alicia), X-Machina (Serra) and Dysphoria (Stephanie) on Friday; Gardenia (Laura), Zinnia (Mary Beth) and Arctica (Bridget) on Saturday; and Vendetta (Mauricia) and Pagliaccia (Marrita) on Sunday.
We also shared our booth with Marvin Wynn, an amazing writer and creator from Pittsburgh who creates a 90s-style superhero team comic called The Edge (if you like Wildcats, Youngblood, Cyberforce and other Image classics from that era, as well as Claremont's X-Men, you can't go wrong). Marvin had a great time and sold a lot of his titles. The Edge will be 'crossing over' with Heroineburgh by including a cameo of our villain character Mark Drake in their upcoming issue #9. Universes collide!
The newest T-shirt / sticker / banner combo by the always fantastic artist Jason Wright (of DC Comics fame) showcases the villainesses and anti-heroines of the Heroineburgh series, and is thus titled 'Anti-Heroineburgh'. Hundreds of current and prospective fans picked up the stickers, and we sold a handful of T-shirts as well. We also recorded a podcast with Nerdcyclopedia (an interview with yours truly, Shevek) which will be posted in the next couple days - we'll have an announcement about it on our social media if you follow us.
Here are some highlights from the event. Our next Con will be in a month: Three Rivers Con May 11-12 at the Homestead Waterfront in the old Macy's building. We'll be running a movie-theater room which will continuously showcase superhero and sci-fi content, including episodes of Heroineburgh, episodes of Superhero Project (from Australia, helmed by forum poster Ava), and other locally produced content, such as the series Theo and the Professor. All that and the Heroineburgh booth with our characters, plus comic book legends such as Ron Frenz and Robert Hack. We'll post full info on that soon.
Nature's defender Gardenia has captured a mysterious shadowy villain called 'Nobody'. He won't be able to snap her unbreakable vines.
