How Yonkers Comic Con Went From 30 People to 5000 Fans by Evan & Katori Podcast Episode 166

Yonkers Comic Con started with about 30 people looking at photos on a wall. Four years later it pulls in over 5000 fans for a free day of cosplay, art, and community. On this episode of Talk About It With Franjez, returning guests Evan and Katori, the team behind Yonkers Arts and Yonkers Comic Con, break down exactly how that growth happened and what is coming for year four on September 26 at the Yonkers Riverfront Library. We get into the real story behind the cosplay showcase that had the crowd screaming, the new rules for AI generated superhero art, why the fashion show is being folded into the main stage this year, and how you can volunteer, submit art, or sponsor the event. If you care about Yonkers, community art, or comic culture, this conversation shows you what is really happening behind the scenes. Talk About It With Franjez drops every Wednesday at 6pm on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Subscribe so you do not miss it. #YonkersComicCon #TalkAboutItWithFranjez #YonkersArts
