The Emerald City Comicon is March 1st-2nd at the Washington State Convention Center. Here are 5 things I think you should check out. Note: the Batman event listed below is on February 28th, off-site, and a separate ticket.

# 5) “THE HUNGER GAMES” COSTUME EXHIBIT

March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
Booth SB-1

An amazing collection of genuine costumes from the smash-hit film “The Hunger Games.”

The exhibit encompasses original screen-worn costumes worn by Jennifer Lawrence as “Katniss," Josh Hutcherson as “Peeta,” Elizabeth Banks as “Effie,” Stanley Tucci as “Caesar,” and many more!

The costumes are all set to be auctioned off in October at New York Comic Con, so Hunger Games fans may never get the chance to be this close to the exhibit again. Don’t miss out!

# 4) CARRIE FISHER: SHOCKAHOLIC

This is not Carrie’s hysterical one-woman show “Wishful Drinking”, but it should be just as funny and revealing. You may not relate to everything she says, but I guarantee you’ll be fascinated. And hey, as both Princess Leia and the daughter of Debbie Reynolds, she’s Hollywood Royalty!  

# 3) ECCC COSTUME PARTY

Saturday, March 2^nd

Room: MAIN HALL (6ABC)
Start: 8:00PM
End: 10:30PM

These folks don’t just run out and buy costumes. They make ‘em from scratch! From the funny, to the grotesque, to the downright sexy, this is where you’ll find your costumed heroes and villains-all in one place.

Judges for the costume contest this year include cosplay expert Yaya Han, and Elfquest creators Wendy & Richard Pini.

# 2) A GOTHAM NIGHT IN THE EMERALD CITY!

Thursday, February 28th

Location: Cinerama
Start: 7:00PM
End: 8:45PM

Movie/event ticket required: $25.00

Batman stars Burt Ward and Adam West swing into the Cinerama to revisit the 1960’s pop-culture (and pop-art) phenomenon that was “Batmania!”

How often do you get to watch a movie with the stars themselves in attendance? Adam West and his television sidekick Burt "Robin" Ward will be appearing together in Seattle for the FIRST TIME EVER for a special screening of an archival print of the 1966 theatrical Batman film!

Also of note:

* Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn's office is declaring “Mayor” Adam West Day in the City of Seattle (Adam is from here).

* Original Batman costume on display from the Paul G Allen Collection

# 1) STAR WARS - THE VOICE ACTOR SHOW

Friday, March 1^st

Room: MAIN HALL (6ABC)
Start: 7:00PM
End: 8:45PM

Easily the most talked about panel about last year. Join Phil LaMarr (Mad TV), Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh), Richard Horevitz (Invader Zim), Grey DeLisle (Scooby Doo), Quinton Flynn (Final Fantasy) and Kevin Michael Richardson (the Cleveland Show) as they re-imagine the adventures of Luke and Leia in some familiar, if out of place, voices. Lots of laughs at this one, and a great way to kick off your comicon experience.

Check out the video of last year's script-reading. Over 1 million other folks have!
