This was my first experience at a comic con. I wanted to see what the hype was about. No doubt, there were tons of people dressed up in character. I've compiled my own trading cards (above) with some of the characters I got a chance to snap. If you're wondering what who the girl in the middle is supposed to be Amy Winehouse, zombie version. I know she's not part of the comic series, but I needed one more space filled. Next years cards will be much better for sure!
I took a bunch of photos I decided to start with the artists! Can you believe it, I found 3 Filipino and 1 Chamorro artist! Whoot Whoot!

The cute filipina girl, Kamilla Portacio, is the daughter of Whilce Portacio,
a famous artist that draws for DC and Marvel. So amazing how young
she is and already a good artist! |

 |
Tone Rodriguez, artist who has drawn for the
Simpson, Zorro, and Ecape from LA just to name a few. |

Jesse Mesa Toves. I was surprised to find an
islander on the other end of the table. Good Job!! |
It was great to see some female artists in this male dominant field.

Now for the vendors! I found some great handmade items. Something I didn't expect at Comic Con. The first store I found was
Apple 8 Store. I couldn't believe what I found. It was a diamond in the rough. Amazing artwork!!

Zombie Walk!

At the end of the Zombie walk was a fair and an attempt to have the Guiness record for the most zombies for a walk.
