THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PHOENIX COMICON
Phoenix Comicon spans 4 Days, 4 Floors, and 3 Hotels
W
e are more than just a pop culture convention - we are a pop culture experience. The Phoenix Convention Center
Lower Level features the Exhibitor Hall where
we have more than 600 vendors, booths, artists, authors, creators and more. We've got
more than 1000 hours of Programming happening on the 1st and 2nd Levels of the North
and West Buildings of the Phoenix Convention
Center, plus special events happening at the
Sheraton and Renaissance Hotels, and Tabletop and Console Gaming at the Hyatt Regency.
Up on the Third Floor we have our Hall of Heroes where you can meet our Celebrity Guests,
get Photo Ops and Autographs, and see all of
our Costuming Groups. Outside between the
North and West buildings is the 3rd Street Pavilion featuring performances by local bands,
food trucks, interactive activities and more.
• Photo Ops! Head to the Third Floor Hall of Heroes to buy professional photo opportunities
with your favorite guests. Up to 4 people can
be in a single photo taken by a professional photographer with a formal background,
printed on an 8"x10" glossy print that includes
the Phoenix Comicon logo.
• Autographs! You can also get autographs
from guests up in the Hall of Heroes on the
Third Floor. Plan ahead to be at signing times
to get your favorite guest signatures. Bring
an item to be signed or buy a photo onsite.
Most comic book creators and authors do not
charge for autographs, though some do ask
6
for donations to various charities. Most, if not
all, of our anime voice actors and Film and TV
actors have a fee for purchasing autographs
or will sell you a photograph, book or other item and then autograph that item for no
additional charge. Prices are generally clearly
posted at the guests table, but it doesn't hurt
to ask.
• Panels and Programming! As Phoenix Comicon grows, more people want to attend programming and spotlight panels and there are
some updates to be aware of.
• Seats cannot be saved.
• We do not clear the rooms between panels.
• No video or flash photography can be taken
in the Spotlight Ballroom 301
• Special Events! There are a few special events
where we need to charge a small fee in order
to offset the expenses of producing the event.
Our Maid Cafes and Host Clubs are examples of this. We'll also be having some special fund raisers for Kids Need to Read and
will be charging admission, but the proceeds
will go to support the charity. Any event that
requires a special admission or ticket will be
advertised as such on our website and in the
program guide.
• Be Aware of Traffic! No sitting or camping out
in hallways. Please keep pathways clear so all
attendees can move around freely. No stopping or gathering on the Third Floor Skybridge
between the North and West Buildings.
• Phoenix Comicon is all-ages and family friendly.
Act accordingly.
• Photography is not allowed to impede the flow of
foot traffic. Phoenix Comicon has designated
photo zones for taking pictures, use them.
• Wait for consent! Whether for photos,
hugs, or anything, ask first for clearly
expressed permission. And “Cosplay ≠
Consent.”
• No solicitations, not of services, parties,
not even “free hugs.”
PHOENIX COMICON CONVENTION POLICIES
Cosplay Policies
Costume Policy
• Costumes must cover at least as much as
a swimsuit acceptable for public pools and
beaches. That coverage also applies to
chest enhancing padding. And no under- or
side-cupping.
• Body paint and nudity are NOT
costumes, and are prohibited
from convention premises. Phoenix has nudity laws, and police
will be around.
• Remember appropriate undergarments. And no see-through clothing, or anything tight enough to
reveal your “nooks and crannies.”
• Protective footwear, with a hard
sole, is required. Rollerblades and
skates don’t count.
• Military and law enforcement co-
splay must not be realistic enough to pass
for the real thing.
• Costume appropriately. If your costume
is risqué or controversial enough to invite
complaints, please leave it at home.
• No swastikas or related paraphernalia. Period.
• Religious cosplay must not be
inflammatory or disrespectful.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
Your costume must permit a clear
line of sight. If your costume has
extensions (like wings and spikes),
avoid bumping into things or
people.
• Props must be distinguishable
from real weapons at first glance.
7
O
ur policies are to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all of our attendees, guests, volunteers, and
exhibitors while working in conjunction
with federal, state, and local laws along
with the policies of the Phoenix Convention Center and host hotels.
Phoenix Comicon reserves the
right to revoke the membership badge
of anyone found in violation of these
policies. Any violation which involves
activities prohibited by law will result in
notification to the proper authorities.
MEMBERSHIP FEES/BADGES
• Membership fees are non-refundable.
• Badges must be worn and visible at all
times. Individuals without badges will
not be allowed in convention space.
• Acceptance of a Phoenix Comicon
membership badge and admission to
the convention constitutes an agreement to allow Phoenix Comicon, its
agents, or assignees to use your image and/or likeness for advertising or
promotion by the Phoenix Comicon
and by any media now known or hereafter devised.
• It is unlawful to duplicate Phoenix
Comicon membership badges.
• Each badge admits one person to
Phoenix Comicon.
• Badges are non-transferable and
non-replaceable.
ANIMALS
Service and assistance animals are
permitted in all public areas and at all
times. No other animals will be permitted in convention space.
FIREARMS
As a licensed liquor establishment, the
Phoenix Convention Center are governed by Arizona law which prohibits the possession of firearms at the
Phoenix Convention Center and host
hotels by any person other than a law
enforcement officer. Personal possession of firearms is therefore prohibited,
including concealed and non-concealed firearms and weapons.
PROPS/WEAPONS
PEACE BONDING PROCEDURE
All costume weapons that the Phoenix
Convention Center (PCC) Security and
Phoenix Police Officers determine to
appear dangerous, on a case-by-case
basis, shall be peace bonded before
being allowed into the convention center. Peace bonding tables will be located on street level at designated main
entrances to the PCC. Security and
off-duty Phoenix Police Officers will
conduct the peace bonding process:
• Peace bonded costume weapons will
be recognizable by a bright neon tag
8
attached to a non-intrusive area of the
prop weapon. The tag must remain
visible at all times.
• If the weapon is steel, such as a
sword, the peace bond process will secure the sword inside the sheath. At no
time shall the sword be removed from
the sheath while attending the event.
• If a costume weapon is confiscated
it will be tagged with the owners name
written on the tag. Confiscated weapons will only be returned to the owner
when they are departing the event.
The PCC is not responsible for any
damage to confiscated weapons.

badges of attendees carrying such
signs. Signs that are a necessary part

When taking pictures, please be conscious of traffic around you and do not
block walkways for extended periods.
Please be considerate and ask before
taking pictures of other attendees,
guests, or staff.
COSTUMES
• Above all, Phoenix Comicon is a
family-friendly event. Please exercise
modesty when wearing your costume.
If Phoenix Comicon staff feels your
costume is too revealing or offensive to other attendees, you may be
asked to change. If you have questions about what is acceptable, please
contact costuming@phoenixcomicon.
com or visit any Phoenix Comicon In-
formation Desk.
• Costumes must cover at least as
much as a swimsuit acceptable for

padding. No under- or side-cupping.
Females must cover the nipple, sides
of the breast and complete buttocks.
Males must cover the entire groin area
and the complete buttocks.
• Remember appropriate undergarments. No see-through clothing, or
anything tight enough to reveal your
“nooks and crannies.” Clothing must
not be so tight as to reveal the genitalia of the person and must not be
sheer enough to expose areas which
must be covered.
• Body paint and nudity are NOT costumes, and are prohibited from convention premises. Phoenix has nudity
laws, and police will be around.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
Your costume must permit a clear
line of sight. If your costume has
extensions (like wings and spikes),
avoid bumping into things or people. If your costume has pieces that
extend from it (wings, spikes, armor,
etc.) or you are carrying a large prop,
please be aware of your surroundings and of people around you. You
may be asked to change your costume or remove your prop from convention space if it is found to be disruptive or dangerous.
• Roller Skates/Blades may not be
worn inside the Phoenix Convention
Center or Host Hotels.
• Protective footwear, with a hard sole,
is required.
• Military and law enforcement cosplay must not be realistic enough to
pass for the real thing.
• Please do not block doorways, walkways, or exits with your costume,
props, or costume pieces.
• Depictions of swastikas are not
allowed and will be asked to be removed.
• Religious cosplay must not be inflammatory or disrespectful.
• Props must be distinguishable from
real weapons at first glance.
• Peace Bonding is mandatory for all
props and will be completed by security.
• Metal weapons are permitted if
sheathed, but not projectile weapons
or flail weapons even if holstered or
tied. Bullwhips are permitted only if
they are tied up.
• Phoenix Comicon staff has final say
whether your costume is inappropriate, and will ask you to leave the convention area until you comply with the
costume policy.
HARASSMENT
AND DISCRIMINATION
Phoenix Comicon is firmly committed
to providing a positive experience free
of discrimination, harassment and bias.
Each attendee is personally responsible
for maintaining such an environment.
Phoenix Comicon prohibits any actions,
words, jokes, or comments based on
an individual’s race, sex, sexual preferences, ethnic background, age, religion,
physical condition, or other legally protected characteristic. Any conduct or
action, whether overt or subtle, which
creates an offensive or hostile environment is prohibited and will be grounds
for immediate action up to and including police involvement.
Phoenix Comicon prohibits any harassment between volunteers, attendees, exhibitors or guests on the basis of
sex. No person, male or female, should
be subjected to unsolicited or unwelcome sexual overtones and conduct,
either verbal or physical. Misconduct
applies to both males and females, and
includes harassment between individuals regardless of sex. Any person who
believes he or she is a victim of sexual or discriminatory harassment is
encouraged to let the harasser know
that his or her behavior is unwelcome.
Those who believe they have been harassed should immediately report the
matter to Facility Security Personnel,
Local Police or Phoenix Comicon Staff.
THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIORS
ARE NOT ALLOWED
AT PHOENIX COMICON:
• Disruptive or unsafe behavior that
disturbs
attendees,
volunteers,
guests, or exhibitors
• Sleeping in convention space
• Physical or verbal harassment of
volunteers, guests, exhibitors, or other
attendees
• Destruction or defacement of the
Phoenix Convention Center or host
hotels
• Sexual misconduct such as indecent
exposure, offensive touching, or sexual harassment
• Unwanted touching without permission of the individual such as glomping, hugging, etc.
• Any activity prohibited by law
COSPLAY IS NOT CONSENT
Phoenix Comicon supports the movement “Cosplay is not Consent” to empower fan convention costume enthusiasts (aka “cosplayers”) to SPEAK
OUT against inappropriate social behavior of a sexual and/or stereotypical
nature for themselves and fellow fans.
Cosplay is NOT consent!
The culture of Cosplay is one of
fun, creativity, and mutual respect.
Unfortunately, not every fan adheres
to the “respect” part. Cosplay is NOT
Consent - and cosplayers who dress
in (sometimes) revealing costumes
should not accept inappropriate behavior from their peers. Speak out;
speak up; and help keep cosplay comfortable and fun!
You should make every attempt
to gain direct consent on all photographs of cosplay, including all private
photographers. All photographers,
commercial and private, should refrain
from taking secret photos or photos of
cosplayers in compromised positions
and should not take photos with the
intent of commercialization without
consent of the subject. Cosplayers
love to have their photos taken, so just
be polite and ask!.

home. With four of his closest
friends, Denny goes on one last
rock-climbing trip to prove he’s
ready to start his adult life... On their
trip the five teens receive a genetic
boost beyond anything they’d ever
imagined. Denny’s soon faced with
the first big decision of his adult life:
does he give up these powers and
stay a normal teenager, or does he
keep them...and graduate from the
human race?

BY SPOON! THE JAY MEISEL STORY
Bombastic, cranky, and irreverent,
Jay Meisel operated a booth at New
York’s Empire State Flea Market for
almost four decades. In his cramped
and cluttered retail space, the
comic book vendor decried a lack of
taste and class in modern society,
attributed his dwindling revenue
to a rising “Latin” population,
and berated his customers with
a gruffness that belied his kind
interior.
THE MATCH
The Match follows two performers in
a struggling independent wrestling
promotion, the Prairie Wrestling
Alliance. It explores the impact that
their vocation has on their personal
lives, and the psychology behind why
audiences are drawn to this pseudoblood sport.
