GeekyNerfherder at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016

Had great time at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 on the Friday and Saturday I attended. Managed to catch a couple of the panels (Star Wars Publishing and the Marvel Comics panels), which were pretty cool and interesting in what's coming soon. Lots of cool stuff on the show floors and the 'Rogue One' costumes exhibit was good to wander through.

Over all, a great couple of days if you're a Star Wars fan! Next on my comic con calendar is the London Film and Comic Con in two weeks, looking forward to that.

Here are some pics I took throughout the two days at Star Wars Celebration.

Artist Spotlight: The Art Of . . . Dan Panosian
