San Diego Comic-Con 2018

I was invited by Viz to SDCC in 2018, because they were hosting Kohei Horikoshi, artist and writer of My Hero Academia. I was lucky enough to join him for dinner and panel prep, and when I had the gall to ask for an autograph, he gave me full-blown sketches of Deku and All Might. What a guy! (He preferred not to appear in any photos)

I also had the privilege of hanging out with friends/peers/colleagues/bosses face-to-face, eating meals on the company dime, seeing a ton of amazing MHA cosplayers, and generally getting a glimpse at this industry as it exists beyond my home office (rare!)
