A-Kon is one of the more revered in the growing number of fan conventions generally based around comics, manga/anime and basically all things geek. Held annually in Dallas, Texas, it is upon us once again, running from June 10 (that’s today) through the 12th. If you haven’t heard about it and you’re in the area, check it out! Details can be found here. In the meantime, to show you just a small bit of what you’re missing, FAN asked attendee Ross Scoggin to return from the trenches of fandom with images of the craziness.
The Monarch sent out a couple of his henchmen on the first day. If his plan involves lots of publicity, it's working as they were being stopped nearly every minute for pictures.
