Greetings again, fellow Geeks! It’s the most wonderful time of the year — Phoenix Comic Fest Week!
One great facet of the show that people sometimes forget about is the nighttime programming. Over the last several years, Phoenix Comic Fest has made it increasingly tempting to stick around long after dark.
*Some of these events will require you to purchase a separate ticket to attend. You can get them HERE.
Here are some of the nighttime highlights that you shouldn’t miss:
