Yesterday, Boston Comic Con released a statement on their official website concerning the postponement of this weekend’s scheduled event in the aftermath of the city’s lockdown.
Postponement Annoucement
Due to the unfortunate events that have transpired here in Boston, a lock down has been put into effect until further notice, causing the Hynes Convention Center to suspend all events. As such, The Boston Comic Con will be rescheduled to a date in the not too distant future.
All people who purchased advanced tickets on line will have their tickets honored at the rescheduled show. If for some reason, you can not come to the show on that date, we will refund your ticket.
Please, we ask for your patience, understanding, and cooperation. We appreciate your loyalty, and continued support for the Boston Comic Con. Unfortunately, this situation is beyond our control.
As of yet, it remains indefinitely postponed until further notice although Boston’s lockdown has already been lifted. Other impromptu events were organized by fans and Massachusetts venues, including comic book store Comicazi in what was billed as “Not-The-Boston-Comic-Con,” and featured writers and artists such as Bill Willingham, Nick Bradshaw, Alé Garza, and local indie comic creator Maxwell Pappas who signed copies of his new title, Red Menace and the GWF. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the men allegedly responsible for the city’s lockdown following the devastating bombing of The Boston Marathon has been taken into custody while his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a dramatic firefight with law enforcement prior to Dzhokhar’s arrest.
