WonderPost: Star Wars Terrariums, Cosplay Photoshoots, Steampunk, Supernatural, Jackie Huang, Todd Nauck

If you’ve bought your WonderCon badge and hotel already (and we don’t know why you wouldn’t have, because it’s a great convention), then you’re probably focused on what there is to actually do and see at this year’s con. In this edition of WonderPost, we’ve found out all kinds of information about cosplay photoshoots and fan gatherings, great artists and writers who will be in attendance, and even some very nifty Star Wars terrariums you can snatch up.
