Ravenous & UltraVixen
Monday, January 23:
Ravenous
Ravenous , where mere mortals are considered simple cattle to quench the hunger of beings that were thought to have lived only in myths and lore, these creatures of the night threaten to invade mankind with a hunger that is Ravenous.
Ravenous is about the secret world of Werewolves and the shaman hunter determined to bring them down. Ravenous creates a Werewolf mythos that will have different subspecies as well as a hierarchical society and mixes in a dash of Native American Folklore. Creature Entertainment is located in Independent Press Booth 20.

UltraVixen
We are not looking to "re-invent" superheroes but rather try and put a comical spin to dynamic stories with allot of action using a sexy heroic female. The story takes place in Meteor City the home of UltraVixen and other heroes who will have cameos from time to time.
UltraVixen being the main character in the story will take up battling less than stellar arch villains with plans of their own. Meteor City has a history of its own spanning from the 40's to current. Creature Entertainment is located in Independent Press Booth 20.

Emerald Rose returns to MegaCon!
Thursday, December 22:
Celtic steampunk, Hobbit dance music and Geek comedy are some of the main themes in Emerald Rose’s high energy musical performances. They’ve played at comic conventions and sci-fi shows across America for over a decade, and this is their third visit to MegaCon. Their music ranges from high energy Celtic songs, jigs and reels to geek-fueled garage rock . Their latest cd, Verdant has been topping the Celtic fusion charts and features their excursions into steampunk territory with songs like ‘Her Majesty’s Airship Corp’ and ‘Clockwork Love’. The band has had their music featured in several soundtracks, including Ringers: Lord of the Fans and Done the Impossible: The Fan’s Tale of Firefly & Serenity. Gamers all, it may be their geeky fun side that endears them most to their fans… the wacky humor of songs like ‘Vampire Girl from the Planet Orn’, ‘Chicken Raid of Cymru’ or the Dungeons and Dragons based ‘Never Split the Party’ will delight those who roll the dice. Check out their website or surf over to youtube to see videos from their live performances. They know how to have a good time!
Emerald Rose will be performing nightly concerts at MegaCon, as well as impromptu performances as wandering bards throughout the convention.
Emerald Rose’s Magic Card Challenge! Come by the band’s merch table and bring your favorite Magic: The Gathering deck. If you can beat one of us in a one-on-one duel, we’ll give you an Emerald Rose cd!
