Festival of Books Just Comic Con for Nerds

by Jack Hackett

USC — This past weekend, thousands attended the LA Times Festival of Books on campus, which is basically just Comic Con for nerds.

“The whole festival was like Comic Con, but lamer,” said Ant-Man cosplayer Milton Blanton. “People would run up to the booths and treat these self-published authors like Gods. I was surrounded by nerds. I stuck out like a sore thumb.”

Blanton quickly retracted his statement when he heard that Stan Lee would be speaking at the festival.
