THE LAST HURRAH

Purell is on the tables and people are happily wearing masks in these pictures from 2019, but does anyone really see themselves gathering in a group of 100,000-plus attendees and celebrating comics/pop culture any time soon? It might be safe to say that the convention landscape has changed forever. While I love the sense of community the Con brings, I just don’t see a gathering like this happening in October 2020. It made me think how happy I am that I was able to attend all four days (for the first time ever) in 2019 and take my boys with me on Saturday and Sunday while they were old enough to actually remember being there. —LV
