Fan Expo Dallas Photos | April 2018

Fan Expo Dallas NMFB001.jpg

Fan Expo Dallas was this past weekend from April 6-8. It was an uncommonly cold Spring weekend, in the DFW area, but it did not stop hordes of geeks from storming the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center! This year's Expo seemed like the biggest yet with more celebrities, cosplayers, vendors, and events.  Below are some photos I took while walking the floor.

Ben Affleck was a last minute addition to the convention and appeared on Saturday only. I was excited to be able to get a photo op with him! I also purchased the Fan Expo exclusive Justice League Batman Statue, by Icon Heroes, that I will do a full post about later this week.

Another highlight of this year's Fan Expo was meeting Cosplay Icon Jessica Nigri. She was extremely friendly and personable.  It's well worth the long lines to meet her and I recommend doing so if she's at a convention near you!
