We’ve been neglecting our WonderCon coverage as of late – but no more! We promise at least two – and more than likely three – WonderPosts this week, chock full of all the latest exhibitor news, cosplay photo shoots, exclusives, and more. So let’s start this Monday off right.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Our friends at The Ninjabot will be at WonderCon Booth #2044, where you’ll also be able to grab some free swag. Keep an eye out for updates.
