I have to say, The Blot had a blast at The Houston Con 2014! I was only there for one day, but it was so great attending a small quant show with fans who were so excited to see the celebrities and artists in attendance. With comic conventions blowing up across the country, many of these comic-cons have lost their personality. They’ve turned into soulless moneymakers really devoid of any joy. You just see the masses walking through lines and getting their 30 seconds of face time with celebrities. This was definitely not the case at The Houston Con 2014.
To be honest, the artists I was excited to see were not able to make it to the convention, and the television shows represented at The Houston Con were not my cup of tea. But it was really cool to see fans of all ages go crazy for the stars of MTV’s Teen Wolf, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. The Teen Wolf and MMPR fans especially were out in force! I was really just floating from table to table watching the celebrities interact with fans and everyone involved seem to be having such a great time.
What I was most impressed with at The Houston Con was the amazing cosplay at the show. I had no idea there was so many talented cosplayers here in Houston. For such a small convention the costumes were incredible. I wish I had been able to take more pictures, but as you can see here there were some fantastic pop culture inspired designs. I really can’t wait to see this show grow and see it build upon the success of this year’s show. I would really love to see more comic book content incorporated into Houston’s newest comic convention.
