Comic Con Revolution is a smaller, newer convention that takes place in both Florida and California. I was recently at the one held in the Ontario, California Convention Center, so let’s review:
Parking
Parking at this convention was the absolute worst, the availability of parking wasn’t an issue, it was the way the parking attendants handled their jobs when it came to parking and helping people park vehicles. This was also the first convention where street parking was readily available and if you were lucky enough to find it, you saved yourself ten bucks for the convention. That was my story on day two of the event.
Way more of a hassle than anything ever needed to be, getting into the con was such a drag. There seemed to be only two people trying to get everyone inside of the convention and they were in no hurry whatsoever to do so. There was, however one guy who came to work as he was checking in guests and moving them faster than lightning. Over in the press/media/exhibitor area, this wasn’t the case at all and every seemed to be quite disorganized when getting people into the convention. I get it, this is a new convention so there’s always room for improvement, so hopefully those who are in charge of such things can tweak things for the better at future events. Another issue was the lack of a weapons check at this event, like there wasn’t any at all. While in a perfect world, we wouldn’t even need a weapons check at these or any events, the amount of warnings sent out prior to Comic Con Revolution would make you feel as if security would’ve been extra tight.
For a smaller convention, I felt a bit of nostalgia at Comic Con Revolution because it reminded me so much of the smaller cons that I had gone to as a child and a teenager back in Chicago. It was an intimate setting, however it wasn’t in any way short on attractions. Artist Alley was the biggest I had seen it since LA Comic Con and there seemed to be way more independent publishers present. As always, there were celebrity guests and even a special screening of Deadpool 2 with the creators of Deadpool and a panel with most of the cast from Batman: The Animated Series. Other attractions on the floor were Cosplay Corner where professional cosplayers were meeting fans and just plain having a great time.
Refreshments
To me, a con without food trucks isn’t trying too hard to be a convention. Now I get it, this was a smaller event, however I felt a little bit robbed that there weren’t any food trucks available. However, I saw pizza boxes EVERYWHERE!!! You’d think that the Ninja Turtles were around with the amount of pizza that was floating around everywhere, so I would say that was a pretty good trade off for the lack of variety when it came down to food and drink. This was also the only other convention, besides in Long Beach that served alcohol to guests.
