A Visit to Emerald City Comic Con 2022

Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC) is an annual comic con held in Seattle, Washington. This August's is starting to recover a bit. There's still not a ton of vendors, but there is a healthy amount of incredible cosplay and some really amazing comic book creators in Artist Alley. This is a virtual walk through the convention to show you some highlights, ending with my thoughts on the convention and showing you what I picked up.

I can just imagine security getting the call and they are thinking the place has been open ten minutes how is somebody lost or stuck already

[@ProsAndConsLive]

That was pretty much what happened. I was hearing the Price is Right losing horn sound in my head the whole time. But they weren’t mad. They were super understanding.

[@victorvelasquez2918]

Thank you for posting. This is a great overview of the con experience. Glad to hear it is okay to say "hello" when you are spotted at a convention. Comic Tropes, and Pros And Cons are the reason my love of comics reignited. So, I am pretty grateful and definitely a fan 🙏🏼😊🖖🏼

[@lookatthebatbaby]

OMG look Chris from Comic Tropes made a cameo on your channel Lucky you.

[@gabpintov]

Chris getting trapped was for sure the highlight of the video, hahaha (jk, but it was really funny)

[@darthdebaucherous954]

It definitely was worth not editing out

[@mjanssenart]

Does anyone know that name of the Red Sonja cosplayer in the beginning?

[@CarlLepeltier]

Exactly what I was thinking, I mean...... 🔥🔥🔥

[@FragItAll]

Thanks for the peek into a larger convention. They are getting better in our area and now I want to do a similar type video for the next one. Lots of great talent in up here that deserve more exposure.

[@theajshow]

Looks like it was a great con. Makes me hope I can return some day to ECCC. Thanks for the recap and insight!

[@cooltraineraaron4618]

Breathtaking cosplay

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

That Red Sonja is a freaking goddess.

[@laurentwhite1362]

Damn right ! 🔥

[@belgiumcomics2537]

OMG! That Black Phone cosplayer ❤️. Black Phone is a great movie. I definetly recomment it to you Chris.

[@davidtexmex1616]

Smashing day, nice to hear the channel appreciation in person 👏🏼

[@jdsantibanez]

Great convention!

[@ProsAndConsLive]

Thanks for watching.

[@staplegenius]

Enjoyed the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE sound effects on the photos

[@Doctor-Shoebill]

Great video! Thanks for sharing, Chris! Definitely made me wish I was there.

[@A-man1998]

God that looks so cool! I wish I could go to a convention! It looks like so much fun! 😩

[@Nono-hk3is]

Thanks for this glimpse, Chris!

[@PapasDino]

Thanks Chris for the virtual ride-along!

[@makoseda]

Good show, good haul. Chris it felt like I was right there with ya. Good vibes

[@shyweeaboo]

I was there Saturday and Sunday, ECCC is always such a great con!

[@Red_Hood_Outlaw]

It was definitely a fun Saturday. I also saw me in your video towards the beginning I was the red hood cosplay

[@ProsAndConsLive]

That’s awesome.

[@spurchase100]

Oh my god I’m in this video!

[@KlintDemetrio]

Wow, as others have said thank you so much for posting/sharing your visit. I was looking for Emerald City Comic Con videos and this one was the first that popped up, and I'm subscribed to ComicTropes but wasn't to this one (as far as I know, though I've been recently discovering channels I know I was subscribed to I'm no longer subscribed so been re-subscribing) as the video started I was thinking / and had to do a double-take woah isn't that 'well you know who' who does ComicTropes. (I was thinking 'is he doing a panel'?! but I'm so glad other fans got to see you enjoying the convention, how incredibly awesome) But anyway, thanks again for such a marvelous well rounded share esp. the Artist Alley / sorry to hear about the stairwell - reminds me of most of the time I'm driving in Bellevue or NE part of Redmond- but glad security got you out / I was delighted to see you were able to get a photo with Chris Claremont and even Camilla d'Errico (was even more so happy when you started pulling her art out of your bag / I've really only seen her work on her socials). I hope you and yours have a wonderful rest of August / and stay hydrated cuz off that weather forecast. : )

[@TheRealKYR3N]

I don't know how this appeared in my recommended lol I ended up spending the entire video searching for me 🤣 cool video. I almost did the same thing. I should've recorded for my channel

[@TheRealKYR3N]

However I did shoot a video of my geek shelf after I got it set up

[@57snador]

Glad you wore a mask.

[@Joelthegeek]

I was bummed I did not run into you! As soon as I saw you were in that stairwell I screamed “nooooo” so cool you got to meet some great creators!

[@guazamb]

Loved the retrowave soundtrack!

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

Wagner's infamous retrowave banger "Ride of the Valkyries"

[@karloavera]

Wow! Beautiful Koi pond!

[@smilemorecrylater47]

I’ll be there in March as Miles Morales 😉

[@Dynamode8]

Thanks for the tour, this was great! Oh how I miss going to cons.

[@girlfan]

Seems like you had a great time and got one great stuff. I went to a small con this weekend and I've missed cons so much

[@SonofTheMorningStar666]

Oh man. That looked like a lot of fun.

[@AidanJeans]

Hey Chris, small thing- but I appreciate that you only started filming your stairwell adventure *after* calling security. Safety comes first!

[@ProsAndConsLive]

I recorded half of it before I realized I was locked in. Then after a while called them and recorded what was happening. Ai yi yi.

[@trex6052]

Nice koi pond

[@Frankenstein077]

Going to a comic convention for comics?! Imagine that... ;)

[@Anders010]

Nice pair.

[@basedcommodore]

I like how everyone did a pose

[@rebelleaf]

Looks fun, man. Are you still doing a stream this week as well? I never seem to catch them in time.

[@ProsAndConsLive]

Yes, I stream at 5pm pacific time on Mondays.

[@rebelleaf]

Cool, thanks!

[@stephenjohnson9745]

My local con has a single comics related guest but I might stop in and check it out. It is a general geek convention thing and it isn't in a massive city but I would love to go to a larger event like this one

[@moondog548]

WEEEEEEE!!!!!! :D

[@bryancollazo9436]

. I hope you don't mind but I was wondering what video editing program you use for this. The footage looks really great. Thanks

[@ProsAndConsLive]

Just Adobe premiere.

[@Unicronsupreme]

It's weird seeing the WSCC done up for something other than PAX. Looks fun though.

[@ardon68]

never been to emerald city comic con only been to multiple lilac city comic con. you should go to one. if you have the time and money to spend.

[@jordangalindo2958]

Hey, man. What pond are you at in the intro to the video?

[@jetman80pops]

They need to move ECCC back to the beginning of the year like it was before the pandemic. Normally it's in February/March. 2021 it was in November this year August. Imagine SDCC kept on moving months year to year.

[@meric2363]

Next year's is back in March. Had reedpop done this year's in March, it would have been a 3 month turnaround from the '21 show which had been delayed until December '21. Now at least vendors and artists get a 6 month break after the 8 month break this year. Much more manageable for everyone. The show has also never been in February, always March.

[@johnreid5814]

Bro I've seen that ghostbusters car on i5 lol

[@joshpinchuk7061]

Chris, I'm surprised that you show up to these things, because you're just a target to the super villains that you used to fight on the streets. I guess it's very hard for anyone to know your secret identity. Especially since you are wearing a mask.

[@arturoluque9269]

I don't get how did you got Lost/Stuck 😅

[@d36williams]

wow... people again.... i need to get out

[@rickhenry1833]

All those masks are depressing. Waiting for Emerald City Comic Con 2023

[@sawysauce1256]

Pros and cons sound like the title of a reality show about prostitutes and con artists

[@theboredtrucker3898]

So weird people are still wearing masks

[@ProsAndConsLive]

Here in the U.S. it's still required at most big events. Stuff still isn't under control.

[@meric2363]

The state hospital in Seattle is currently over capacity with covid cases.

[@areguapiri]

I had to stop watching after seeing people wearing the absurd masks for absolutely no reason.
