The event will be held the May 20- 22 at Kansas City’s, Bartle Hall.

“The art is fantastic, and you kind of can just go and do whatever you want,” Underwood said, “  It’s a different form of art and it’s purely American. America made comic books so it’s really interesting to be a part of something that originated in America and not anywhere else.”
