Everything You Need to Know About The Keystone Comic Con Happening In September!
These days the terms “comic book nerd” isn’t an insult anymore. With the adaptation of comic movies from both DC and Marvel, being a comic book nerd is pretty much cool now. Now even the casual super hero fan understands basic plots and storylines, so we’re not completely lost. So for those looking to showcase their love and appreciation for comics, The Keystone Comic Con is coming to The Pennsylvania Convention Center September 14-16th.

It often goes beyond just comics. The celebrities can include WWE stars, classic TV actors and movie stars. So to help you navigate The Keystone Comic Con, here’s a quick and easy guide!
