Nerd For A Living Joins Super Heroines, Etc’s Programming Track at St. Louis’ Project: Comic Con
Saturday, October 17 – Sunday, October 18 | Sheraton Lakeside Chalet, Westport Plaza Dr, St Louis, MO
St. Louis’ Project: Comic Con is a long-running, small regional convention focused on comic books and creators. It provides excellent opportunities for fans to meet both established creators and up-and-coming local talent. This year, the event also carries a focus on female creators, featuring 13 women working in and making comics.
The convention also provides speaker and education panels. Our friends at Super Heroines, Etc. have teamed with Project: Comic Con to produce a track of S.H.E. created programming. The full listing of these panels can be found here, but one in particular includes Nerd For A Living’s creative director and podcast host, Adron Buske.
