Hi guys. This is a (newer) group which is meant to be a meeting group for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and comicbook fans, (of movies, books, artwork, etc) and creators in Lake County/McHenry Counties (for example, writers, artists, movie makers, etc, are welcome too!) since the only groups I've been able to find like that, all seem to be in Chicago. This group is going to work best for those with a more flexible weekend schedule since I plan on scheduling a meetup for this group on at least one Sat …

A group for those who have graphic novels and comics sitting on their shelves and are willing to swap books with others. Whether you are looking to complete your collection, part with your old comics, or just want to try out something new, this group might work for you. I'm starting this group because I have quite a few comics and graphic novels which I have enjoyed, but don't plan on reading again.

Are you looking for a low pressure environment to meet other singles that share your passion for geeky things? No need to hide your love of whatever it is in order to meet people. Any jerk can love a thing. It’s the sharing that makes geekdom awesome. The key here is low pressure. And no event costs. Just meet, have a couple of drinks (if you are so inclined) and play board games. Focus on having fun and meeting interesting people and perhaps the rest will follow.

This is a group to make up for the lack of geeky meetup groups on the south side of the city. They are all in the suburbs or North side and I would like to make new friends closer to home. I am open to any type of geeky events like watching movies, board or video game nights and just all-around fun! Please join and we can be nerds together (>'')>

The Cream City Illustrators is an informal group of (mostly) children's book illustrators who meet monthly to discuss trends in the children's book industry, share tips on getting discovered by art directors, review each other's work and demonstrate techniques.

Do you make comics (or want to make comics)? Webcomics, indie comics, superhero comics, mini comics, comic strips, graphic novels, zines, whatever? Do you draw, write, or both? Then this might be the meetup for you! Group critiques, workshops, work days, field trips are all things we will probably be doing, so keep an eye on upcoming meetups!
