I Dream of LCTC: Lexington Comic & Toy Convention 2024 [ARTICLE]
The LCTC (Lexington Comic and Toy Convention) did a wonderful job of separating areas so visitors knew where to go. The escalators had employees at the top and the bottom who could tell you where things were if you got lost, and usually had a smile, compliment or a greeting. On the first floor was where you went to get autographs/meet/greets and some photo opportunities with special guests. There was also a huge LCTC merch booth and snack stand.

Machi Koro 2 [BOARD GAME REVIEW]
Although the original Machi Koro received many raves and award nominations after its release in 2012, there were some consistency issues to playing the game that made it a little more tiresome rather than fun to play. Fortunately, Machi Koro 2 manages to improve on most every issue that the original one had!

Amara Cosplays: STR’s Hizuru Minakata at Gen Con [MODEL GALLERY]
Hizuru Minakata is a very aloof and serious individual. Armed with her giant hammer, she is relentless when going up against shadows, seeking nothing but revenge for the murder of her younger brother Ryunosuke Minakata. She is also shown to be really intelligent can and calculate fast, but also has a caring and kind side to her. Amara Cosplays takes her stab at this iconic character from the edge-of-your-seat time travel anime, Summer Time Rendering!

Klank: Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 [ALBUM REVIEW]
Hitting the scene in ’93, Klank began as a solo project of Darren Diolosa. That changed about four years later following live performances, and Pat Servedio joined the project as a full-time member. Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 is the band’s 8th studio album and the long awaited follow-up to Vol. 1 that was released last year, which I would also recommend!

GEN CON 2023: DGM Walks the Con [EVENT/NEWS]
While Gen Con 2023 got off to a wild start this year with a $300k Magic card heist on Wednesday and a near riot involving the Disney Lorcana release Thursday morning, we started our coverage of the show a little later Thursday—after the hubbub had died down! So much to see at Gen Con this year! DGM reporter, Megan Renee, takes you through Gen Con in our exploration video. The new style we used this year allows you to feel more like you’re actually there with us, as we see overviews of things, and then zoom into segments of tutorials just like you might if you were actually there…

Amara Cosplays: Archer’s Pam Poovey Attacks Gen Con [MODEL/EVENT GALLERY]
Gen Con has really started to make a name for itself with its cosplay department, so I enjoyed exploring it in cosplay as Archer’s brash and powerful Pam Poovey. The amount of back ink that Poovey sports made it challenging to get as much on my back as I did! We decided to go shoot this in Lucas Oil Stadium at a past Gen Con and really liked the flavor we got while we were here. The Gen Con event is one I go to every year for good reason!
