It won’t be much longer before the swarms descend on the Anaheim Convention Center for WonderCon 2024. It’s a feast for the eyes wherever you turn, inside and outside, from some of the best cosplay in the country to the coolest creators of games, comics, shows, podcasts, fan art, fine art, and everything in between. Lucky for you, we have been scouring social media to uncover the news that you can use to make WonderCon 2024 extra special.
Let’s take a look at the news you might have missed:
