A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together
The Nola Nerd Couple attends Comic Cons whenever and wherever we can. We love reporting on them from a fan’s point of view.

While we tend to focus on the Gulf Coast and Houston areas for our conventions, we have done cons in California, Illinois, and the United Kingdom.

…Indiana Jones. I always knew someday you’d come walking back through my door. Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movie trilogies. That’s right I’m ignoring the Crytsal Skull – how is a movie with Cate Blanchett bad? I digress. The Indiana Jones Guests at Pensacon 2019 is stellar. No, of…
