MondoCon 2015 Tickets On Sale Thursday, First Artist List And Events Announced

In 2014, Mondo took things to another level with their first ever convention: MondoCon. We wrote all about it here but, to recap, it was an awesome time for anyone who likes posters and general fun, pop culture madness. This year, they're doing it again. MondoCon 2015 takes place October 3rd – 4th at The Marchesa Hall & Theater in Austin, TX. That's the weekend after Fantastic Fest (the two events ran simultaneously last year) and tickets go on sale Thursday April 30.

Below, find out how you can get tickets, the first wave of artists who'll be attending, and the first two events planned for the weekend.
