Finish up your cosplay and grab your favorite comic books—Emerald City Comic Con is back!

Attendees will be preparing for four days of panels, screenings, fan meetups, cosplay contests, after-dark partying, and perusing the wares of Artist Alley, where local artists come together to hang out, create, and sell fun products.

Parker’s Pages: Waxing Off
We are starting the year off with a great read by one of our very own Creatives here at the Evergreen Echo! Waxing Off by E.E.W.

Oh, and did I mention there are werewolves and pecan pancakes?
