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. We have also created a new series called ComicCon-ing 101 aimed at fans who are new to attending these types of conventions. 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.
In 2018, comiccon-ing drastically changed for us when we had the Nola Nerd Baby. Strollers are great for carrying items but terrible for walking around on a busy day. Also, now that she is mobile, walking around with her brings a new set of challenges. So now our reports on specific cons will have a section dealing with these issues.

Yes, we are starting back up our weekly Star Wars features. We had to take a break due to Mrs. Nola Nerd Couple’s complicated pregnancy (which you can read about here and here). She and baby are fine, and we plan on bringing you as much information about Celebration and…
Megacon: Again, we had a blast at MegaCon. We are in the process of doing a podcast about the con, but we just returned home from vacation and are looking forward to getting Nola Nerd Baby back on schedule. MegaCon as far as we know hasn’t released any dates for next…
MegaCon 2018 was a memorable con for the Nola Nerd Couple. We have attended many cons over the years, but this will be one of the record books, scrapbooks, and baby books. That’s right! It was the first con for Nola Nerd Baby, and even though she is only three…
