The Guide to Pop Conventions
Dallas Comic Con, May 21-22, 2011
Hello Con Maniacs,
Some great news from Dallas Comic Con which occurs May 21-22 at the IRVING CONVENTION CENTER 500 W LAS COLINAS BLVD. IRVING, TX 75039. What is so great about this event is the attendance of 2 greats in the genre community. Leonard Nimoy aka Mr. Spock and the father of Marvel Comics Stan “The Man” Lee. I have worked with Leonard on several occasions and he is an incredibly insightful and spiritual man. If you have the chance, take a trip just to meet him as he is cutting down a ton on the events he will do.
As I mentioned the great Stan Lee is also attending. Here is a great interview with Stan Lee curtesy of CNN.

I am sure they will have alot more guests as we get closer to May. If you want to see more detailed coverage of Dallas Comic Con here on Con Mania contact the promoters at benstevens3@gmail.com and let them know.
Well my friends, we are over the hump of the first week of 2011. I do have to mention how saddened I was to hear of the passing of Anne Francis. She was a Hollywood legend. Who can forget Forbidden Planet…
Anne Francis and Robby the Robot
RIP Anne Francis…

No More Tokyopop and Other News Updates
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
Were you planning on checking out Tokyopop at your next comic or anime convention, either at a booth or on their bus? Best find some other plans. The Beat is reporting that the manga and anime publisher is shutting down US operations. Which is sad. I’d interviewed there once or twice. Knew people who worked

Listen up Conmaniacs, hope you liked the video from yesterday. More should be on the way, so keep your eyes open. Anime Expo in Los Angeles is approaching, which you should be able to tell from the little countdown clock. Speaking of which, you can download your own and more website goodies by making with

So I may have been a little hasty in saying that I wasn’t going to be posting any news. Granted, today is a day for trusting no one, but this little tidbit I can experience with my own two eyes. Did you want to make it to WonderCon this weekend, but couldn’t make the trip
Best Photo Op Ever? And Other News Updates

This is the kind of stuff Star Trek fans’ dreams are made of. You, Shatner and Stewart, together in one spot, with a photo op to capture the moment for posterity. I’m imagining if I did it, it would look a little like the picture at the left. Or, if you’re the more cerebral type,
Rainn Wilson is a Con Nerd and Other News Updates
about 2 years ago - No comments
Actors hitting the pop culture conventions to build up hype for their geek-oriented films is nothing new. Actors hitting up the same conventions they used to go to as kids, and admitting to it on national television? That’s a little different. Press play on the YouTubes to see Rainn Wilson, star of the upcoming “Super,”
It’s a Stan/Spock News Update

I personally have never seen Stan Lee and Leonard Nimoy at the same place at the same time. Obviously, that means they can only be the same person. How can so much nerd worship be divided amongst two people? It’s impossible! Dallas Comic Con, however, is trying to prove me wrong, by hosting both Stan
Oh My God, it’s Almost C2E2 and Other News
about 2 years ago - No comments
Not a ton of news today, especially not compared to yesterday’s onslaught of information. But C2E2 in Chicago is almost upon us, so there are some last-minute updates coming out of the Windy City. Marvel Comics displayed some of the exclusive swag they’re going to be giving away at C2E2, including a new mixtape comic,
Clint Howard at Star Trek Vegas!

I tend not to get overly excited about celebrities. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I went to high school with Fiona Apple. I once sold camera equipment to Keith Carradine. But this is something to get excited about. The Man himself, CLINT HOWARD, is going to be at Star Trek Vegas! What?

More sad news from the Land of Geek, as Nicholas Courtney, better known to Doctor Who fandom as Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, died at the age of 81. Courtney was a regular guest at many conventions throughout the years, and his presence will be missed. And here’s the rest of the news… Want to
