Comic Cons in South Georgia

Comic Con Comes to Macon!

             For someone who has always wanted to attend a 'con, but didn't want to drive to San Diego, I was very pleased when a friend brought me a flier from the Perry Fair advertising the first Middle Georgia Comic Con. Set to be held in Macon, Georgia in the Macon Coliseum, this 'con will be accessible and located in a central area of Middle Georgia. The Middle Georgia Comic Con is owned and operated by Heroes and Villains Comics and Games based in Warner Robins, Ga. Although there's not a lot of information on admission and the guest list is short as of now, this 'con is still in the planning phase. Check out their website http://mgacon.com for updates and information on registration(people who register pay less for admission than those who buy tickets at the door).

         In addition, recall that there are small conventions held in Warner Robins and Columbus. Being small, it's difficult to find any solid information on the dates of next year's 'cons. For the one Warner Robins Comic 'Con visit http://www.atlantasouthcomiccon.com/.

          For the Columbus Con at the Coca Cola Space Science Center in Columbus go to http://www.ccssc.org/special_events/sci-fi_con.html.  This show just took place on October 5th so it may be a little while before the date for next year is announced.

         The following information was found on http://www.costume.org/conventions.html.  There are tons of other major 'cons on this site as well, from all over the world.
