The Grand Rapids Comic Con was held at Devos Place Convention Center over the weekend of October 20th through the 22nd. Fans of comics, anime, superheroes, and sci-fi flocked to this three day event to celebrate their interests. A range of celebrities and artists were there to greet their fans and showing once again that the Grand Rapids Comic Con is able to bring marquee talent in.
We previewed the 2017 Grand Rapids Comic Con and listed what we were excited for. I am happy to say that this event was a wonderful experience for my two children (aged 3 and 5). They loved meeting people in costume, seeing the giant Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon, and playing with LEGOs.
More to come in our review post, but in the meantime here are photos from the 2017 Grand Rapids Comic Con. We hope you enjoy the pictures.
