The Miami Beach Convention Center was filled with cosplayers, vendors, comic book fanatics, artists, anime lovers, famous guests, and so much more. So many fandoms came together to enjoy four days of this geek fest, otherwise known as Supercon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The convention space was a good place to hold such a huge event. The old venue was smaller, causing a large amount of people to be forced into hotter, smaller, and more crowded places. But because the Miami Beach Convention Center is more spacious, the convention itself was more comfortable and enjoyable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the main halls of the convention center was used for vendors and famous guests. The vendors\u2019 room was filled people selling comic books, anime, video games, and television show merchandise. There was even a section for iconic weapons from different shows and video games. There were various booths that sold very cute, Japanese like, \u201cfobby\u201d trinkets and plushies. Most of the merchandise was very expensive, but that is normal at conventions\u2014the goods are overpriced, but you can\u2019t help but buy them.<\/p>\n

Extremely talented artists lined the perimeter of the vendors\u2019 room, trying to sell original artwork of your favorite characters. These artists showed off their incredible amount of talent. They each showed their originality through different mediums and drawing styles. Each artist draws or creates an art piece that depicts a character or scene in the way they want. Some artists are more famous while others are just starting out, but nonetheless, the talent is apparent.<\/p>\n

The cosplays were pretty good this year. There were a lot of repeats like Poison Ivy and the \u201cAttack on Titan\u201d characters, and while a lot of people cosplayed, not very many went all out like some. When somebody\u2019s wings bump into you, you know it\u2019s a good cosplay.<\/p>\n

The special guests of the convention held their Q&As on the main stage. There, the fans would line up and ask questions directly to the celebrities. Jason Momoa and Esme Bianco from \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d attended this year\u2019s Supercon. During Jason Momoa\u2019s panel, he was extremely carefree and funny, and he would answer questions honestly. Some of the \u201cArrow\u201d cast members were also present, and they were very friendly.<\/p>\n

The panels were held mostly on the second floor with different activities and games that were tailored to everybody\u2019s tastes; for example, the first episode Sailor Moon Crystal was shown for the Sailor Moon fans.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Supercon was very well planned, and it had nice guests. Let\u2019s hope that next year is even better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
