Last summer, Geek'd Fever swept the Ark-La-Tex. It was great to see everyone realize that we're all a little geeky. Geek'd Con saw thousands of local geeks make their way to the Shreveport Convention Center over three days in August.

The dates for Geek'd Con 2016 were announced almost immediately after the conclusion of that weekend, this year's show will be August 19th-21st. It will again be held at the Shreveport Convention Center. It also sounds like Geek'd Con is expanding too, dates for an event in Tyler, TX have been announced for June, and it sounds like there might be more coming.

But back to Geek'd Con in Shreveport, earlier this week the first 2016 guest was announced, and it's comic book legend George Perez!
