Back after a long hiatus! My CONtorage group and I reunite and talk this year's SDCC 2023 and the new landscape and atmosphere post-COVID and beyond! 

It's Comic-Con week and we're all spending it at home this year! Though it's sad we won't get to gather together in San Diego, Comic-Con International along with many other companies, small businesses, artists, vendors and groups are still putting on virtual events throughout the week!

We'll be going over the panels we are interested in attending! To see the full schedule, visit comiccon2020.sched.com!

And to celebrate our nerdtastic communities and fandom, I've gathered my friends together in a random talk on our current video game favorite we've been hooked on during quarantine: Mortal Kombat 11!

In this bonus episode of CCN, I hang out and chat with my awesome friend, Felicia who has been volunteering for SDCC for over 10 years! What was supposed to be a Jay and Silent Bob Reboot review turned into a longer conversation about her experience as a volunteer with Comic-Con International and so we will be releasing another episode soon on our review! 

On this episode of The Comic-Con Newbie, I had the pleasure of interviewing Aaron Nabus of the Hall H Show Podcast and #ComicConFit! You can follow him on Twitter at @AaronNabus @ComicConFit and @hallhdotcom

SDCC 2019 was a phenomenal year to celebrate their 50th anniversary! Veteran attendees Rhia and Jeff join me in wrapping up the experiences of the whole week and provide some great insight and tips for any future attendee to know! And we share our fun stories and memories from SDCC this year and from years before. 

We chat with my good friend, Jesus Jimenez of Screen Busters to talk about his experience attending SDCC since 2011, and how it took him 6 years up till then to make it in!

He also shares his tips an advice for utilizing the power of friends and groups to diminish wait times in lines for Hall H and other popular panels and strategizing on planning out a schedule when attending with a group of friends and discuss ideas on coordinating our plans for this year's SDCC 2019!

Continuing our fun conversation with Rhia! 

Quinallison chats with a private comic-con Facebook group moderator and blogger, Rhia Reyes, a decade plus long attendee where they talk about SDCC then and now, personal experiences and learned lessons along the way.
