Ended the con with this last panel on being seriously funny and reminding the audience that we can be funny and still use our voices to combat fascism and genocide! Silence is a political choice of the privileged.
My favorite part of comic-con is getting to see all the amazing cosplay. The creativity, dedication, and commitment to this craft is awesome. Here are some of my favs!
