Bent-Con Returns for the 2nd Year in Los Angeles!

Sept. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- BENT-CON returns, bigger, bolder and badder than before! Some of the geekiest and most creative minds in the universe are joining together again to host BENT-CON 2011, a convention for encouraging, celebrating and appreciating LGBT and LGBT-friendly comic-book artists, writers, creators, publishers, directors and producers, creating media targeted directly to LGBT audiences or as part of the larger realm of underground and mainstream pop-culture as a whole!

Or just think of it as a comic and movie-con, only gayer...

BENT-CON will be held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, California, on December 3rd and 4th, 2011 from 10am to 6pm each day. Ticket pricing is available on the Bent-Con website (1-day pass: $10/person, 2-day pass: $20/person).

Since this year’s BENT-CON is shaping up to be bigger and better than the last, we've added tons of new events to fit it all in, from film viewings, to panel discussions, to costume competitions, to visits from famous names you might recognize from various creative industries, both queer and mainstream!

Our featured guests include: Phil Jimenez, comic book writer, artist and penciller, Wonder Woman, Infinite Crisis, New X-Men and The Invisibles. Patrick Fillion, artist, writer, creator and co-publisher of Class ComicsBoytoons, Naked Justice and Camili-Cat. Jane Espenson, writer and producer, Husbands, Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
