Wizard World Sacramento 2014
Wizard World Comic Cons have been
sweeping the nation for the last couple of years, and they finally
landed in Sacramento this year. While not crazy mad house of San
Diego comic con, it does boast a smaller, but still impressive
roster and lots of cosplayers.
This year brought con staples and
legends, Stan Lee and my personal favorite Bruce Campbell. Some of
the other highlights included: Chris Hemsworth, Norman Reedus, WWE®
Superstar Sheamus®, Julie Benz, William Shatner, Michael Rooker,
Billy Dee Williams, Chris Claremont, Michael Golden, Josef
Rubinstein, Joe Weems, Danny Fingeroth, James Marsters, Michael
Rosenbaum and so many more.
One thing is nice about the Wizard
World conventions is the option to do a VIP experience. They're
pricey but they're pretty all inclusive. While there is still a long
line for pictures and signings, there is no crazy camp out to get
into the panel room with the experiences.
We opted for the Norman Reedus
experience for the little one, and she could not have had more fun.
The autograph line was insanely long, the longest I've ever seen at
any convention, but Norman Reedus took a lot of time with every
person who came by to see him. He even stopped to take pictures of a
few of the little one, and he came around the table to bestow hugs, handshakes and sign her shirt.
Another neat thing about Wizard World
is that while the guests will take selfies with those who want them,
they also have professional photo ops available. The photo ops are
very quick, so don't count on having long conversations when
purchasing one, or even more than a hello. But if awkward prom
pictures are your thing, the photo ops definitely deliver.
With Wizard World Conventions visiting
more and more cities, if there isn't one nearby now, there may be one
soon, and its certainly a show to visit. The guest lists may be ever
changing, but the fun is always present. With the success of
Sacramento's first show, they've already announced that they will be
back in July 2015.
