With the Boston Comic Con being postponed due to the lockdown that was in place until last night as police searched for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, several area comic shops are holding impromptu events this weekend with various creators. Here's a rundown if you're looking for something to do in Boston today, and if we missed any, please let us know in the comments section:

• As noted in CBR yesterday, Larry's Comics in Lowell, Mass. is hosting a mini-con -- Slum-Con? -- featuring Mike Choi, Sean Gordon Murphy, Cesar Feliciano and many more. Check out the shop's Twitter feed for a live stream of the event.

• Comicazi in Davis Square, Somerville, has announced that it will host a "Not-The-Boston-Comic-Con Get-Together," with guests Tim Seeley, Tim Sale, Don Rosa, Agnes Garbowska, David Mack, Ming Doyle, Erica Henderson, and possibly some others on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• Friendly Neighborhood Comics in Bellingham will have a meet-the-artists event featuring Carlos Pacheco, Craig Rousseau, Kelly Yates, and others from 12-4 p.m. on Saturday.

• Studios at Porter Mills, in Beverly, will host a Beverly Comic Con from 4-9 p.m. on Saturday. "Tons of artists on hand (including many that would have been at Comic con) and a few special guests!"

• Comicopia will host Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb, the artists for the Adventure Time comic, from 1-3 Sunday.
