The Arizona Ghostbusters have been busy gearing up for their 5th appearance at the Phoenix ComiCon. Each year our presence, booth size, and participation has grown. This year is no exception. This year our team will occupy at 20 ft x 40 ft booth, giving us enough room to display our Ecto-AZ and Sony’s 30ft Stay-Puft Balloon.
This year we also helped set up Ernie Hudson appearing for the first time at the convention. Due to a new role he has taken on, he will only be available to appear at the con on Sunday. This may change and we will certainly update if it does.
IDW Ghostbusters Cover Artist Nick Runge will also be in attendance at booth # 571 in the Artists Alley.
