MegaCon 2012 (Over 950 Convention Photos)
Over the course of February 17th to the 19th, MegaCon 2012, the southeast’s largest convention aimed at fans of comics, anime, gaming, and pop culture, brought thousands of attendees to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The event featured major guest appearances by celebrities such as Stan Lee, Tom Felton, Bruce Boxleitner, and Robert Picardo, plus a wide variety of panels and booths for attendees to visit.
I’ve been dying to take some more convention photos ever since my visit to the Amazing Arizona Comic Con last month, so I made the long trek from Seattle to Orlando. After the con ended, I definitely felt that it was worth the journey and will gladly attempt it again in 2013. I hate to say it, but based on what I saw here and at Dragon*Con several months ago, the east coast has the west beat when it comes to convention costuming.
Here are a few highlights from the 956 pictures I captured with my camera while exploring the convention center:
