There’s something in the air and water – or maybe it’s all the tech? We have an abundance of cons for comics, sci-fi and anime that bring thousands and thousands of fans together in the Pacific Northwest.

  On the heels on Emerald City Comicon, Sakura Con invaded Seattle. The three-day anime celebration brought outrageous cosplay and thousands of fans to Seattle. I love this shot of Ghost Rider. He must have been so exhausted from ECCC the previous weekend that he just stuck around!

  My friends at SeattlePulp.com (who publish my weekly Top 5 and other stories) and photographer Josh Lewis captured all the fun. Here’s the link to day 1 and day 2.

Seattle, we still have Crypticon, Zombcon, Geek Girl Con and Jet City Comic Show, I LOVE this geek filled city!
