Let your nerd flag fly, Cincinnati. Cincy ComiCon is back once again to ensure comic books get their fair representation in the Queen City. Created somewhat as a response to the Cincinnati Comic Expo, whose tendency is to feature more film and TV stars than comic book creators, Cincy ComiCon is all about the writers and illustrators who bring costumed characters to life on the page. Created by Kendall Swafford of the Cheviot comic book shop Up Up & Away! and Walking Dead co-creator Tony Moore — a well-established illustrator beloved by the industry — Cincy ComiCon will feature Rick Remender (Tokyo Ghost), Mark Schultz (Xenozoic Tales) and many other panelists, booths and special guests.
10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. $20-$50. Northern Kentucky Convention Center, 1 W. Rivercenter Blvd., Covington, Ky., cincycomicon.com.
