Popverse was in Chicago for the the comics + pop culture convention C2E2. Emanating from the fabulous McCormick Place, C2E2 was a three-day show running from Friday, August 5 through Sunday, August 7 - and Popverse was there (and then some!) to report news, interview many talented people, and most importantly - be curious.

Popverse liveblogged big panels such as the Marvel Comics events, , interviewing the talented folk who will be there, and documenting the many curiosities found at a convention this size. We are telling our stories on ThePopverse.com with text, video, and photos, as well as on our various social media channels.
