Yesterday and today’s comic book stars descend on Connecticut’s Terrificon 2019 August 9-11

And AiPT! will be there to cover the excitement!

As a Boston-based website, AiPT! is lucky in that its location means easy access to multiple conventions in the New England area, from FAN EXPO Boston to Rhode Island Comic Con. And while we’ve covered local comics-focused events big and small, we’ve never had a chance to attend Connecticut’s Terrificon! Well, all that’s about to change this month as AiPT! hits the Constitution State’s “#1 Comic Con”!
