Any moron with a web browser can figure out that Dragon Con is a big deal. Really big. Many fans, guests and celebs list it as their favorite stop on the convention circuit. Modern Atlanta is outgrowing its inferiority complex, trying to compete with the big coastal cities. So it tries to do things up big. Here, we try to parse through the noise and pick out the top moments that got the most bang on twitter this past weekend….Atlanta, you did good!
