History: The creation of the Smallville ComicCon was the result of a lot of hard work and a series of fortunate events.
The initial inspiration came from three comic book fans; Ben Eisiminger, KC McNeely, and Chris Wietrick. They recognized similarities between the City of Hutchinson, Kansas and the fictional City of Smallville, Kansas – the boyhood home of Clark Kent, alter ego of Superman. The three began a grassroots campaign to have Hutchinson recognized as the official Smallville, Kansas.
Their efforts caught the attention of long-time Superman fan, Jon Robinson. Interested in their efforts, Jon provided support and loaned his original handmade costumes inspired by the Man of Steel movie toward the cause.
The effort succeeded and on June 21, 2013, through mayoral decree, Hutchinson was renamed Smallville, Kansas for a single day. On this same day, Superman was inducted into the Kansas Hall of Fame as the most recognized “Kansan” within pop culture. Jon was invited to attend the induction ceremony within the State’s Capital with his family, all wearing their Man of Steel costumes.

I'm deffinately going to try to hit these, btw is there a schedule for southern and colonial reg.?
 
I’ll be posting cons for every regiment. It just takes time to sift through cons that change their venues and will change the regimental location and find new cons and collect up all your nod and then post. I’m hoping to get everything done before the new year. The colonial list is actually in the colonial section but I’m thinking perhaps I should copy it to this section as well.
 
I would recommend changing the name of Chicago Comic EXPO or adding (C2E2) to the listing for it, that's how it's more commonly known.
