NEW JERSEY–The Comic Book Shopping Experience, the comic book and collectibles platform marrying shopping with entertainment while offering pop culture fans an immersive multi-platform programming experience has been entertaining fans, energizing retailers, and breathing new life and excitement into one of the most celebrated art forms and industries in entertainment since its debut earlier in the year.
Following up on last weekend’s successful celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage, the team behind the platform pivots to championing the vibrant LGBTQIA community. In the ongoing effort to highlight these diverse creators with authentic content, the Comic Book Shopping Experience has partnered with Prism Comics; the leading non-profit, all-volunteer organization supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, asexual and LGBTQIA-friendly comic books, comics professionals, readers and educators.
Programming will kick off this weekend with confirmed guests including David Booher, Devin Grayson, Andy Mangels, Krista Gehring, Steve Orlando, Jeremy Holt, and José Villarubia, continuing all-month with opportunities to get involved directly.
