Of Chicago’s two comic conventions, C2E2 is the newest but it’s already the strongest. In the last few years, it has increased its scope from corporate publishers to self-made artists. Held at McCormick Place, booths and tables full of comic books and memorabilia are available for sale during the weekend festival. Movie screenings, video-game stages and more supplement the expo. Standouts include discussions with celebrity guests, panels comprised of comic book writers and artists and attendee costume contests.
