Emerald City Comic Con 2022 has come and gone, but you can re-live the magic through Popverse's filming of many of the biggest and best panels, along with our writers, editors and video team conducting interviews, writing features, and reporting on a few bits of news from the Seattle Convention Center.

This year at ECCC 2022, the Popverse team was led by Deputy Editor TIffany Babb and Video Editor/Admin Veronica Valencia. They were joined by Staff Writer Graeme McMillan, Video Producer Ashley V. Robinson, and contributing writer Chloe Mavael. Popverse Editor-in-Chief Chris Arrant worked remotely. The team was joined by our marketing team co-workers Jeremy Ross and Illianna Gonzalez-Soto.
