The Comic-Con Newbie

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!
