Vecna from Stranger Things runs the San Diego Comic book Convention attendees up the hill with his towering presence.

The Big Bad Vecna Makes His Presence Felt at the San Diego Comic-Con in the Most Terrifying Way Possible

After a two-year hiatus, the San Diego Comic-Con weekend is here and we just
cannot keep calm. The SDCC is once again reigning live over San Diego since July
2019. Netflix’s flagship show, Stranger Things last appeared on the SDCC panels
in 2017, when they teased the second season of the sci-fi horror series. Feels
like a lifetime ago. This year, the show’s return to the convention is slightly
unconventional. Instead of an elaborate panel with the cast, creators, and the
entire creative team, a Book Panel will take its place. Even so, that doesn’t
stop our favorite yet formidable Vecna- Stranger Things villain to raise Hell.


VECNA OF STRANGER THINGS OVERPOWERS COMIC CON

Four fun-filled days of art appreciation, fanboying, and attending panels (Man,
this word is overused at Comic-con!). And all this is in full costume and
cosplay (COSPLAY! not dress-up). The shenanigans just don’t stop. So why should
our beloved Master of Puppets, Vecna, not bring some good old Stranger Things

In a recent tweet by Variety [https://twitter.com/Variety], we can see a
life-size figurine of Vecna mounted over a motor scooting through the crowds at
the convention. The massive effigy is sure to send chills down everyone’s spine.
Even internet personality and popular cosplayer Kiera Please was no stranger to
Vecna’s horror. Netflix Geeked [https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked] Posted a
picture of a motorized Vecna looming behind Please, and her fleeing the scene

the cosplayer also managed to pull off yet another Netflix reference with the
iconic red jumpsuit
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-after-money-heist-squid-game-jumpsuit-is-the-new-vogue-costume/]
pants from Squid Game. [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/squid-game]The witty
caption, “Hey Spotify, play “Running up that hill”.” is a great and historical
nod to the show.

Kiera Please [https://twitter.com/Kieraplease] herself also uploaded a video of
her interviewing a bunch of participants in full costume. Obviously, she had to
start with the dreadful antagonist. Craning her neck to face the massive Vecna,
she asks, “Why do you kill so many people?“. In response, the figure starts
following her in true Stranger Things fashion. Her priceless reaction of “never,
never mind” makes one chuckle uproariously.

While we don’t know the full agenda for the panel, these discussions more often
than not hint at possible new projects. You can probably hear us screaming!

What are your predictions for the future of the franchise? Also, tell your
special songs that’ll help you escape Vecna from Stranger Things
