CBR:

The Long Con combines convention culture with post-apocalyptic fiction, and is written by Dylan Meconis (writer and artist of Bite Me! A Vampire Farce and Family Man) and Portland Mercury film critic Ben Coleman, illustrated by EA Denich and colored by Victoria Robado. It’s about what happens when everything in a 50-mile radius of a major con is destroyed, but the convention just keeps going, five years and counting. Here’s Oni’s official description of what’s dubbed a “humorous action/adventure" series, aimed at both teen and adult readers:

Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a 50-mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Center — including the attendees of Long Con, the world’s biggest (and longest) comic convention. But unknown to the outside world, the con-goers not only survived, they kept the convention going. When proof of their survival surfaces, reporter Victor Lai is sent to investigate — after all, he was covering the con that fateful day and escaped mere minutes before everything went kablooie… abandoning his nerdy pal Dez in the process. So clearly he’s the perfect person for the job, and he won’t get trapped inside like some kinda idiot. Right?

What a brilliant idea for a comic. As someone who goes to conventions all the time, my only regret is that I didn’t think of it first.
