How to approach a ComicCon as a comic supporting dad?
Hello everyone,
I’m a dad in my 30’s. I don’t know a thing about ComicCons. I don’t know anything about the comic world in general. I don’t dislike it! It’s just outside my wheelhouse.
My 10 year old son has opinions about DC and Marvel. He loves the movies. He draws his own comics (prolifically, I might add. They’re everywhere in my house!) He doesn’t have deep nerd level knowledge but it’s something he really enjoys so I try to encourage anything in the creative realm.
There’s a Kansas City ComicCon this weekend and one-day passes are available. I was thinking of surprising him and grabbing a couple tickets for Sunday.
My question is if a kid and dad who are sorta outsiders to this stuff will still have a good time just showing up and wandering around? I was looking and autograph booth schedules and some of the panel discussions and I have no clue who they are! How can we get the most out of it if we go? Or should we study up and try again another time?
Thank you.!
