Oklahoma City’s collective nerd culture was able to tear itself away from the premiere of Stranger Things 2 for at least two days to come together for the strangest thing the Metro has ever seen: an actual corporate comic-con that was pulled off with little to no controversy, pleasing just about every attendee who traipsed, cape and sword in hand, through the doors of the Cox Convention Center.
With a celebrity line-up that included Val Kilmer as the main headliner, the crossover event was heroically organized, utilizing the entire space as a whole instead of spreading events all over the place, keeping the celebs, the vendors and most of the entertainment on the ground floor. Believe me, when you’ve been to enough of these things, stuff like that truly makes a difference.
