Dragon Con 2026 Is Nearly Upon Us

Next week is Dragon Con. I want to call it “Atlanta’s largest and best comic and fan convention,” but it’s more than that. There’s no other con like Dragon Con. My plans include a bit of cosplay, a focus on socializing, and then ending the con with some gaming. It’s going to be a jam-packed week, as Dragon Con always is.

Cosplay

I’m going to cosplay three out of the con’s five days. Friday to Sunday I’ll go as the MCU version of Old Man Logan, the “Age of Apocalypse” version of Cyclops, and then Puck from Alpha Flight. I tried to find costumes that would work without me having to shave my beard.

Socializing

Since I’m running this site now, I really want to meet as many fellow Marvel fans as I can. Dragon Con has a tradition of collecting badge ribbons, so I’m going to create a “Six Sixteen Cosplay No Prize” ribbon to pass out to great Marvel cosplays. If you’re at con and see me passing out ribbons, come say “hi!”

It should be a lot of fun, help me meet fellow Marvel fans, and maybe even introduce some folks to this site.

Marvel Multiverse RPG

I love playing the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game. I usually run my own games with friends and family, but there’s a few sessions at Dragon Con this year. They’re all full now, so I’m glad I got in one when I did. It’s a great opportunity to lean back and just play the game, rather than be on the hook for the story.

I intentionally went for this session on the last day, thinking it would be a great way to wind down the con on Monday. After a busy week of cosplay and meeting folks, it will be great to just sit back and play around in an imaginary version of the Marvel Universe for a little while.
