Colleen O’Shaughnessey is an actor best known for her role as Tails in the Sonic The Hedgehog video game franchise – and she is also (perhaps) the most exciting guest coming to the 2023 Momocon event. O’Shaugnessey broke barriers in Hollywood and the video game industry when she reprised her role as Tails in Sonic The Hedgehog 2.

Oftentimes, voice actors are recast when the video games that they worked on are adapted into movies or TV shows. Colleen O’Shaughnessey proved to the world how a great performer can elevate a character in both mediums, opening doors for more voice actors in the future.

MOMOCON 2023 FEATURES SMASH BROS, DIGIMON, & MORE GREAT GAMES
Fans of gaming, Momocon has so much to offer. They are hosting tournaments for several card games, including Pokemon, Yu-GI-Oh, Magic The Gathering, and Digimon! The crown jewel of their video game competitions this year has to be the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament, sponsored by Krystal.
Momocon 2022 was an incredible event, bringing the convention back to the people after the COVID-19 pandemic had made con-going impossible for everyone. We spoke with legendary voice actor Fred Tatasciore at last year’s convention, where he revealed a strong desire to continue playing Hit-Monkey.
Hit-Monkey is an adult animated Marvel TV series on Hulu, which was expected to receive a cancellation order as a result of the Marvel TV and Marvel Studios merger. Shockingly, Hit-Monkey was renewed for a second season in February 2023. This makes it the only Marvel TV show from the Marvel TV Entertainment era (i.e. The Gifted, MODOK, Agents Of Shield. Punisher, Cloak & Dagger) to survive into the present day.
Fred Tatasciore teased this massive news at Momocon, months before it was made official. Who knows what other geek news might come to light at Momocon 2023?
Stay tuned to The Illuminerdi for more updates from the convention, and if you’re in the area, come down to the Georgia World Congress Center and nerd out! Let us know how the convention is going over on our social media!
