Guests will include Alex de Campi, Mairghread Scott, Leila Abdelrazaq, Nancy Collins, Marguerite Dabaie, Nicole Georges and Mikki Kendall. There will also be a costume contest, artist VIP reception, discussion panels and a screening of the documentary She Makes Comics.

Founded by Chelsea Liddy and sponsored by local store Green Brain Comics, owned by Katie Merritt, the show has launched a crowdfunding campaign, with variant editions of Swords Of Sorrow #1, admission to the show, and to a VIP event.

Men are welcome as well, of course. Just, you know, don't expect panel parity at this show….
