The Bronx has a comic book show of its own, and on Saturday, August 1, we were right in the middle of it.

From The Bronx was back at The Bronx Anime & Comics Expo, the only comic book show in the borough, hosted by Lone Wolf Comicz and Yasu Collectibles at St. Helena's Roman Catholic Church on Olmstead Avenue. From 9 AM to 5 PM the place was packed with cosplay, collectibles, culture, and a healthy dose of comic book chaos. Kids 12 and under got in free, which meant plenty of families made a day of it.

Y'all brought the energy. Crochet Pokémon. Hatsune Miku. Lightsaber duels breaking out in the aisles. A stage full of cosplayers taking their moment. We spent the day meeting people who love this borough as much as they love their fandoms, and it turns out that's a huge overlap.

Huge thanks to Lone Wolf Comicz and Yasu Collectibles for organizing an unforgettable event, and to every vendor, artist, and fan who came through. The Bronx has always been a borough of creators, from the block to the comic shop, and a show like this gives that community a home.

And to everyone who stopped by the booth, said hi, grabbed something, or just chopped it up with us: thank you. That is the whole reason we do this.

See you at the next one. Cowabunga.

From The Bronx to The World!!
