Asbury Park Comic Con – April 12 and 13
This year I am attending the 3rd Annual Asbury Park Comic Con! The event will be held at the Berkelely Oceanfront Hotel, 1401 Ocean Ave, on April 12th and 13th from 10am to 6pm both days. There are also a few events outside of the con hours in conjunction with the APCC that you can see here.
The APCC features comics, collectables, culture, cosplay and creators.

About APCC (from the website)
We make comics, collect comics, and deal in rare underground comix, so we thought we’d like to make a con that embodied our sensibilities. As the major conventions grow exponentially, but focus less on comics, we felt a good old-fashioned con with a strong emphasis on comics was needed.
Our first show in 2012 started small, just 32 tables in a bowling alley that was converted to a rock club that was converted to a comic convention. Our second show had 48 tables. Our last show was held at Convention Hall and had 170 exhibitors and eight panel discussion sessions. April 2014 will see us expand to two days and feature over 200 exhibitors. While it is our intention to grow the size of our con, we do not book movie and tv celebs or pro wrestlers. We intend to keep Asbury Park Comicon about comics.
