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.

In yesterday’s post, we talked about how great Pensacon was. Making this con so good was two of the panels that we attended. One helped us realize how much our website has grown and will grow. The other combined two of our favorite things: comics and social studies. The first panel, entitled…
Pensacon 2016 was simply one of the best cons I’ve ever attended. Usually, when I write a review of a con, I have two or three better ifs. I can’t really think of any for this year’s con. Now part of that reason is that we planned well. We knew…
This weekend Nola Nerd Couple will be attending Pensacon in Pensacola, Florida. We believe this is one of the best Comic-Cons on the Gulf Coast and in the South. Perfectly located near the beach and I-10, Pensacon allows for a perfect getaway weekend. Pensacon is a growing con that always gets great…
