Corey's Comic and Other Pop Culture Reviews Edition 27

Festival, concert and Con dates are starting to pop up. The Ringling Brothers Circus even made the news recently that it will be back making the rounds again this year after a long hiatus, albeit, without any animals. Another sign of the ever changing times but not a result of the virus.  There is plenty to look forward to as what little snow that accumulated continues to melt away and the geese make their way back to our northern shores. 

Speaking of events, the much lauded ITHACON will be returning on April 22nd and April 23rd for their 46th time in what looks to be an awesome weekend of comics, panels, cosplay etc. Ed Catto, professor at Ithaca and one of the early developers of Reeds Pop’s New York Comic-Con continues to help make this event a rare treat in the Finger Lakes region. With Ed’s assistance the Con is now run by the students at Ithaca college and The Comic Book Club of Ithaca. This is a can’t miss event! Add it to your calendar today!!
