We're back from another amazing year at C2E2 2017. We had a great time, but we're a bit tired after our own Monica Gonzales competed in the Crown Championship of Cosplay for the second year in a row! There will be more on that in another post, but for now, here are some pictures from the around the convention.

First of all, this year's attendance was amazing. Saturday always draws the biggest crowds, while Friday and Sunday are a bit more relaxed. Have a look at the amazing crowds from Saturday afternoon:

C2E2 is one of the best conventions if you are looking to shop for comics and art. This year, we saw some amazing displays, including one by our favorite Chicago art house, Vertical Gallery:
