@okcomicarts.bsky.social was an absolute blast. Can’t say enough good things about the show. I’ve never spent time with a community of people that love comics and art the way the folks in Oklahoma City. I left there truly feeling love and appreciation for my comics.
Had a great time at @okcomicarts.bsky.social yesterday. If they invite you to be a guest, you should accept.
Excellent cosplayers as: Namora! M-11! The Uranian! Gorilla-Man! Venus! 3-D Man and Jimmy Woo! At the Oklahoma Comics Arts Festival
Congrats to @okcomicarts.bsky.social, the comics festival was a smashing success and the OKC comics scene has a show to be proud of. For me personally, the highlight was the team of Agents of Atlas cosplayers 🤖🦍🧜♀️
