WonderCon is quickly approaching, and now that badges have become available, news on gaming during the convention, Artist Alley and booth placements, and even panels are starting to emerge. We recently learned that Marvel will be skipping this year’s WonderCon Anaheim convention, but there’s still plenty to both see and do around the con.
Here’s some news you might have missed:
- Fans of gaming will have more choices than ever at this year’s WonderCon. CCI has announced some information on Nighttime Games for 2014, where gamers can sign up for time slots throughout the afternoon to play any of more than 20 different games. Sanctioned tournaments for Heroclix, Kaijudo, Magic, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! will have small materials fees, while all other games (including Bakugan, Fluxx, Settlers of Catan, and many more) remain free.
- Ken Choy has confirmed on Twitter that the ABC Development team will have their panel at this year’s WonderCon on Friday, April 18th, and it will be a “pitching panel for YOU”.
