MegaCon, the Southeast's largest fan conventions with shows in both
Orlando and Tampa Bay, is proud to announce their Love is Love events
during MegaCon Orlando 2017 raised $18,405.21. The proceeds raised have
been donated to Equality Florida, Florida's civil rights organization
dedicated to securing full equality for Florida's lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
MegaCon Orlando came
together with Marc Andreyko's (DC Comics) Love is Love project to host a
weekend of programming to honor the victims of the Pulse nightclub
massacre during MegaCon Orlando in May at the Orange County Convention
Center. The weekend began with a cocktail reception and book signing on
Friday, May 26, which brought together some of the comic industry's top
talent including George Perez, Tom King, Scott Snyder, Gail Simone, Cat
Staggs and Dan Didio, as well as Love is Love project creator Marc
Andreyko. The programming ran throughout the weekend leading up to a
live art auction on Saturday, May 27.
"We are so grateful for the fundraising event
MegaCon hosted supporting our Honor Them With Action campaign that we
launched in the aftermath of Pulse to uproot anti-LGBTQ discrimination
and violence," said Nadine Smith, CEO of Equality Florida. "The
compassion and support shown by MegaCon and the contributors of the Love
is Love comic anthology have been an inspiration."
Pics from the Love is Love event. i was so happy to meet George Perez.
He said "put your stuff down and let's take a proper picture" then he
hugged me. Such a really nice guy. Then I got King to sign some Batman
comics. It was a great event last night plus the money went to a good
cause. Then there was Gail Simone and a bunch of others. Best bit for me
though was when Scott Snyder remembered my name from when I got
autographs earlier that day. He talked at our table and then had a
conversation with Jim Zub between me about his future comic series. Then
Jim Zub drew Aku for me. Really a great night.

Two George Perez original pieces are up for auction for Love is Love benefit taking place May 25-28th at MegaCon 2017.
MegaCon Orlando is proud to host a weekend of Love is Love
programming on May 25-28. The proceeds will benefit Equality Florida,

Following the Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando, a project in the
comic community named Love is Love began to take shape. A group of more

survivors and their families via Equality FL.
The events at MegaCon Orlando will be continuing in this spirit,
honoring the 49 lives lost by donating all proceeds to Equality Florida,
Florida’s largest civil rights organization. Over 25 contributing
creators will be at the show and more than sixty original comic
creations from the book as well as artwork donated by creators who did
not contribute to the final book will be on the auction block in this
fundraising event.
The artwork will be on display all weekend at MegaCon Orlando and there
is a cocktail reception on Friday, May 26 (tickets are $150 and very
limited), and the actual auction is on Saturday, May 27 and is hosted by
Dan Didio, Co-Publisher - DC Comics.
