Denver Comic Con 2014: Shae's Day One Recap

This Friday the 13th saw the start of Denver Comic Con 2014, and it was utterly astonishing. Before the doors were even close to opening, people were lining up to get their passes. Starting with an astounding response; many people were strutting their stuff in fantastic costumes, amazing shirts, and above all, their high spirits. 

After all, nothing makes a con more than the enthusiasm of the fans. This con is a bit different. United by a common interest, Denver Comic Con is run by the none profit organization Comic Book Classroom.

Today, however, Comic Book Classroom announced at the opening ceremony their name change to Pop Culture Classroom. If there was any more reason to love DCC, it's the evolution of this great convention into something more. Sticking with their original idea to help children through the various creative ways, such as Comic Books, Pop Culture Classroom is expanding to include more than just Comics, but I won't say much more than that since we'll talk more about that later on. Now along with that fun came a wide selection of panels to start off the con, and so much more planned for this weekend. With such vast programming, there is something for everyone, and something for all ages, to enjoy.

Of course, my first stop was the Dealer's Room. As you all know, I am an advent  lover of all things merchandise, and this year did not disappoint. For 2014, I swear there is twice as much space and twice as many venders. Amongst them are the wonderfully talented artists of Artist Valley. And I absolutely cannot forget about the Celebrity Summit, where fans can come and meet their favorite stars and get their autographs. Guys, there's a vendor with a wall of Pops Figures. I don't know about you, but that's one of my favorite parts about anything. The guests, of course, are the first, but you know my love of Pops! It's going to be hard to not spend so much money there! The guests, artist, and venders, are all in one massive area upstairs, of the Denver Convention Center.

Hopefully you can all make it this weekend! There's so much to see, so many panels, and great guests, the profits go to a wonderful cause, and of course, all the people who come to cosplay and have a fantastic time.
