Quinn co-writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti; a GoComics.com Creator Showcase featuring Bill

Amend (FoxTrot), Stephen Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Sarah Andersen (Sarah’s Scribbles) and over two

dozen other GoComics creators in the biggest and best event in GoComics history; the ever-popular

Cosplay Contest that handed out over a dozen awards including 2017’s Best in Show winners Samantha

Ybarra and Marie D’Angelo as characters from the popular video game Diablo III; the newly-created Planet

Entertainment Zone full of interactive family fun; live professional wrestling from Kansas City’s National

Wrasslin’ League; and 8-year- old Davey Uria blast off in a brand-new Star Wars Interdictor wheelchair
