The Guide to Pop Conventions
All the News Not From E3!
Seems like all the news today is about all the new video game stuff coming out of E3. But that’s not a fan convention, so you won’t hear squat about it here! Hah!
- I don’t know why, but I love it when people you don’t usually associate with fan conventions are at fan conventions. Which leads me to telling you that Martin Landau, who yes, was once a genre actor, but has himself a shiny Oscar, is going to be at Fan Expo Canada. So is horror actress Danielle Harris, but that’s slightly less surprising.
- Albuquerque Comic Expo has added a couple of last minute guests — horror comic icon Bernie Wrightson and wacky comic sidekick extraordinaire Nicholas Brendon. And when you are signing up for your tickets, on the very same webpage, you can make a donation to the Hero Initiative as well.
- One of my all-time favorite comic writers is going to be at Kids Read Comics 2011: John Ostrander.
- One of my other all-time favorite comic writers is going to be at Long Beach Comic Con: Mark Waid. Also colorist Beth Sotelo, whom I don’t really know, but she’s easier on the eyes than Waid.
- Manga artists Izumi Matsumoto and Fred Gallagher are the latest guests of honor announced at Anime Expo.
