It has been a while, but we are back with an all new Prose and Cons! I know I mentioned that I would share a story about a past convention that I attended, but alas, time got the better of me and I will have to share that story at a later time.

As always, the following description is true about the iteration of the convention I attended in 2019 and may change over time!

The second and final part of our Wizard World Cleveland coverage is here! Included in this episode: an interview with Alaina Huffman and the five-member Smallville panel!
In the previous installment I went over the basics of what Wizard World Cleveland was and what it offered. In this entry, I want to illuminate more what the experience was like. Most of this is tied to the convention itself, but some is tied to its location and the accommodations.
In our first bonus episode we bring you part 1 of our Wizard World Cleveland coverage! Contained within are interviews with John Glover, Thomas Nicholas and a special ‘behind the scenes’ insight from Jerry Milani.
Our first entry in this blog dealt with a slightly smaller convention. For those feeling the need for something a little bit larger, you might consider sinking your teeth into Wizard World Cleveland! It is important to note that the description herein is only for the Cleveland event as Wizard World has several events in different cities. Also, this is for 2019 only. Conventions change over time, so what is true this year may not be true the next, but I am sure you all already knew that!
It was a nasty Saturday morning. Normally, I would have preferred to bundle up in the covers and forget that the rest of the world even existed. This Saturday, however, I had in my sights a potential treasure trove of comics and comic related fun!
