Normally, Emerald City Comic Con does not offer refunds on tickets. This year they are making an exception. People who are concerned about the virus being present are being given a refund. If you bought a ticket for Emerald City Comic Con 2020 and don’t feel safe attending, you can get a refund from Reed Pop right here. 

I am scheduled to attend Emerald City Comic-Con. Unfortunately, I am also worried about the virus. I have a compromised immune system so I don’t know if I will go. If I do go, I am looking for a cool way to dress up with a mask of some kind. Do you have any suggestions? Leave me ideas in the comments below, please. Til next week…
