A Family Exploring the World of Fandom Together
At Nola Nerd Couple, fan conventions are our passion. We attend fan conventions across the Gulf Coast, Houston, and beyond—including California, Illinois, and the UK—always sharing reports from a fan’s perspective. Our ComicCon-ing 101 series helps newcomers navigate the world of fan conventions with confidence.

We Can’t Make it, But You Should Nola Nerd Couple is not going to Megacon 2016, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. If you are in the central Florida area, go! It’s a great con with plenty of guests for autograph seekers, artists, and vendors. Tom Felton and Jason Isaacs will…
I had The Comic Book History of Comics on my wishlist for a while. I really wanted to read it this summer. Then I saw author Fred Van Lente was going to be at Space City Comic Con and moved it up on my reading list. It did not disappoint.…
Our anniversary is May 28th. We will be spending it at the Space City Comic Con. Why? Because the nerd couple that cons together, stays together.
