Comic-Con San Diego here we come…

Well, okay not this year but next year we hope to be there promoting the Zenobia book series. We understand Comic-Con is for superhero comic book style fans but we feel the Comic-Con fan base has grown beyond that. The Zenobia book series is based on a real historical person and her fight for justice will appeal to all Comic-Con fans. We’re interested in having a booth and advertising during the 2015 Comic-Con International San Diego event. We had planned to visit the 2014 Comic-Con in San Diego to get a better idea if this venture would be worth our time and money. Unfortunately, Comic-Con tickets sold out in record time and we weren’t able to get a hold of any.



“Just Like That, San Diego Comic-Con Sells Out

Within an hour-and-a-half, every available badge to the 2014 event was sold out”

Another event happening the same week as Comic-Con we were hoping to attend is The Nerd Machine panels in San Diego over at Petco Park.



The lineup of stars that will be at The Nerd Machine panel is going to be incredible. For instance:

A Conversation with Joss Whedon – Sunday, July 27th @ 1:15pm.


Joss Whedon’s panel sold out in 20 seconds, so unfortunately we aren’t able to get ticket to go. For some time now we’ve had Joss Whedon in mind as screenwriter and director for the Zenobia movie. Joss Whedon’s talent would enhance the Zenobia project and we believe the Zenobia book series can become an epic TV series or movie. If we were able to attend his panel we’d love to ask Joss how we go about submitting our book for consideration as a possible film project for his company Bellwether Pictures.
