WHAT THE PRESS ARE SAYING
“Whether you’re a longtime comic fan who grew up wishing you were a mutant, or member of the LGBTQIA+ community trying to survive the current political climate, The Uncanny Experience gave the sense of belonging. That’s why it was a success.”
– Joshua Lapin-Bertone,
Popverse
“The Uncanny Experience was a one-of-a-kind experience, a comic con unlike any other I’ve attended.. It was an exceedingly well run show. I am looking forward to whatever experiences this team presents in the future”
-Austin Gorton, ComicsXF
“It felt like a gathering of like minded people, togehter in a space that was both safe and comfortable. A haven. A school. It felt like the Xavier Institue come to life, where people could let their hair (or fur or horns) down, relax with other X-fans, and enjoy themselves.
-JP, Twin Cities Geek
“The hallways of the Xavier Institute, the home of the comic book heroes known as the X-Men, bustled as students hurried from class to class. But this wasn’t a scene from a cartoon or a page on a comic book — it was a real location in the heart of Minneapolis, and the mutants that populated it were real people.”
