“We are thrilled for our third year of WVPopCon,” said show promoter Jon Hayes. “The show is currently over 25% bigger than last year. We have over 70 professional artists and writers attending and over 50 vendors (an increase from last year) and entertainment guests. We are very happy to have comic book publishers like Aspen Comics and Action Lab Entertainment. We look forward to welcoming collectors and pop culture enthusiasts from all over the place. We really have stepped it up this year and have a star-studded line up.”

The show will host panels on such subjects as comic creating, podcasting, movie making, and costume and zombie creation. There will be a costume contest on Sunday and general cosplaying throughout the show. There will be various tabletop, board, table and video gaming tournaments including Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer 40K, and Pokemon with prizes.
