Alice LeGrow, manga and webcomic creator Lea Hernandez (Rumble Girls, Near-Life Experience), cartoonist and animator Nina Paley, webcomics creator Dirk Tiede and illustrator Juri Hayasaka will all be there on Halloween weekend at the Hilton East Brunswick Hotel & Executive Meeting Center, in New Jersey.
Presale tickets are available now on the MangaNEXT website. Buying your ticket now means you'll save a little money and a little time when you get to the show.
MangaNext will also be putting their own twist on the cosplay masquerade event by putting on the "Cosplay Gray Scale Contest," which requires that all contestant's costumes be created in shades of black, white or grey only. This should be interesting. There will also be a dealers room, a swap meet, karaoke and game shows too.
