Along with Wizard World New Orleans, Pensacon is one of our favorite cons. Occurring in February, Pensacon is a short three hour drive from New Orleans. Each year we have gone, it has been worth the trip. First a look at the celebrity guests: Jason David Frank: The former Mighty…
Last week, NolaNerdCouple previewed Wizard World New Orleans (you can read that post here). Within a couple of days, Wizard World announced a slew of new guests.
