Fan Expo Chicago 2026 Photos, Part 5 of 5: Everything Else!
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: It’s that time again! This weekend my wife Anne and I attended the fifth edition of Fan Expo Chicago at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in the suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. In 2022 they arose from the ashes of the late Wizard World Chicago, which we attended eleven times, and have expended tremendous efforts to maintain the previous showrunners’ geek-marketed traditions to keep luring in longtime fans and newcomers alike... ...and it all comes down to this: one last photo gallery touring what else we saw beyond the cosplay, besides the celebs, past Artists Alley, and even outside the convention center's walls. The con was large; it contained multitudes. One thing our weekend contained much less of than expected: severe thunderstorms. Our local feeds showed us countless photos and stories from the destructive floods that too many consecutive rainy days had brought to Indiana -- surpassing all expectations, overwhelming meager precautions, overtaking numerous areas and forcing more than a few evacuations. Our hearts go out to those affected, the families who've lost loved ones in the resulting calamities, and the communities struggling to recover. […] -
Fan Expo Chicago 2026 Photos, Part 4 of 5: Comics!
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: It’s that time again! This weekend my wife Anne and I attended the fifth edition of Fan Expo Chicago at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in the suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. In 2022 they arose from the ashes of the late Wizard World Chicago, which we attended eleven times, and have expended tremendous efforts to maintain the previous showrunners’ geek-marketed traditions to keep luring in longtime fans and newcomers alike... ...and for this longtime comics collector, that means keeping an eye out for favorite creators and/or new reading material. Pictured above are the graphic novels I picked up in this year's Artists Alley, plus a sketch of a character from my childhood. As for the creators who sold me those items...

Fan Expo Chicago 2026 Photos, Part 3 of 5: Celebrities and Catastrophes
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: It’s that time again! This weekend my wife Anne and I attended the fifth edition of Fan Expo Chicago at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in the suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. In 2022 they arose from the ashes of the late Wizard World Chicago, which we attended eleven times, and have expended tremendous efforts to maintain the previous showrunners’ geek-marketed traditions to keep luring in longtime fans and newcomers alike... …and for us it meant another round of photo ops with actors from movies and TV shows we’ve enjoyed. Longtime MCC readers know jazz hands are our thing, if we feel it’s worth a shot to ask, and if the stars are amenable. Sometimes they don’t, and that’s fine! They’re adults, we’re adults, and we accept it — their image, their choice. But it’s a lot cooler when they do. Overall we enjoyed ourselves, but this year FEC was crippled by the worst photo-op complications we've ever experienced for a show of its size within the past fifteen years. […] -
Fan Expo Chicago 2026 Photos, Part 2 of 5: Slightly More Cosplay!
[Content warning! The following entry is rated 'S' for spoilers for season two of X-Men '97, which just concluded August 12th. Reader discretion is advised.] Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: It’s that time again! This weekend my wife Anne and I attended the fifth edition of Fan Expo Chicago at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in the suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. In 2022 they arose from the ashes of the late Wizard World Chicago, which we attended eleven times, and have expended tremendous efforts to maintain the previous showrunners’ geek-marketed traditions to keep luring in longtime fans and newcomers alike. As is the MCC procedure, let’s start with mandatory cosplay photos! The humble duo here at MCC enjoys the panoply of costumes, and appreciates the makers and wearers who enliven every comic-con with their talents and their exaltation of various fandoms. We regret we can only represent a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the total cosplay wonderment that was on display this weekend, especially from cons like this where we spent far more time waiting in lengthy lines that ate up precious time we could’ve spent taking more pics. We’re just an aging couple doing what we can for happy sharing fun... ...so here're all the cosplayers we photographed on Saturday when we weren't trapped in lines, crushed in crowds, or fussing with two straight days of catastrophic photo-op failure. (More on that next time.) Enjoy again! […] -

Visit me at Twin Cities Con
That time of year again for the biggest event.
Twin Cities Con is here. It starts today. I’ll be there selling my books, like I am every single year since its creation. I was there at its birth. I’m a godfather. It is my responsibility to make sure it doesn’t flounder into nothingness.
Honestly though, I have nothing to do with it’s completion and running, but it’s nice to see a con I’ve supported take off the way it has and create such a large scale celebration.
Twin Cities Con is huge and amazing, hit it here to learn more about it.
I’ll be there selling my books, including my newest book from the Greenland Diaries.
I’ll be there Friday from 3:30 to close. Along with Saturday open to close. I’m not sure about Sunday yet. Don’t know where I’ll be with time, sanity, and book sales.
I’m also running a panel Friday night at 9:45 that goes until 10:30 in Room 204 (A & B) called Monsters, Monsters, Everywhere. I’ll talk about monsters. It is what I do.
Anyways, I hope to see you there. Twin Cities Con is amazing. A ton of things to do. Amazing artists and creators to interact with.
Also, I’ll be cosplaying as Inosuke from Demonslayer on Saturday.

I can move #sketchcards, but fuck me I could hardly sell my lovely 5x7 prints.
Was selling those at $2 each or 4 for $5.
Meanwhile, sketchcards were $5 each and were flying off the table.
Wild.
