Thousands will flock to the Minneapolis Convention Center starting Friday for the third-annual Twin Cities Con Minnesota's Comic Con. Founder Ben Penrod says there's something for everyone.
Around 8,000 people attended this year’s convention, according to organizers. The schedule included lectures with 68 speakers on navigating life with faith, as well as a Quran recital competition and a Muslim singles social event.
A difficult chapter of Minnesota history is now being told in a graphic novel. “Hate Stings” lays out what happened to the author’s African American family in 1800s Hastings. Visitors at the recent Minnesota Con in Minneapolis got a preview.
