Rhode Island Comic Con – Don’t Miss It!

When you think of Rhode Island – What comes to mind? New England? Smallest state in the US?

Both would be correct, but don’t forget about their Comic Con! For a tiny state – it’s a massive Con! The celebrity guest list is almost endless, the panel options are plentiful, and between a billion artists (okay, it’s not really a billion, but it’s sorta close…) and all the other things available to take in – It’s something you shouldn’t miss!

First, The Details:

When? November 2nd, 3rd, and 4th – It’s only a week away!

Where? The Rhode Island Convention Center and Dunkin Donuts Center. (They might have had me at Dunkin…)

Why? Because there’s way too much to see and do!
