Canada does more great things than just maple syrup. One of the things they do well is put on a terrific comic con! Earlier this year, Sully got to go to Ottawa Comic Con and take some great photos of the amazing cosplay. We unfortunately missed this year’s Montreal Comiccon but Blair Kilrea, our Nerd Fu man in the North, was there to attend and from what we’re hearing it definitely sounds like the Fu boys will have to try to make it up there next year!
Here’s some details of the show going on this weekend:
