The Guide to Pop Conventions
Thank God it’s Friday Roundup
The “Dragnet” reference isn’t too obscure, is it? It’s a fairly quiet day of news, but here’s what we’ve got.
- Top Shelf Productions announced their plans for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2011. Want to see Jeff Lemire, Kathryn and Stuart Immonen, Matt Kindt and Nate Powell, in addition to being the first to get your paws on the graphic novels “Chester 5000″ and “Liar’s Kiss?” Better get your butt up north.
- Forget to get tickets for the Los Angeles Twilight Convention? Good news, there are still tickets at the door.
- MTAC in Nashville revealed a veritable slew of guests. I don’t know any of them. Hopefully you do.
- Larry “G.I. Joe” Hama had to cancel out of Emerald City Comicon for health reasons. And now, because I have one, here is a picture of me with Mr. Hama and a G.I. Joe thermos I had him sign.

I told you it was going to happen! The first episode of Conmania 101! The first episode is about convention survival kits — specifically, what you’re going to carry all of your stuff in. Obviously this is very early, so if you can leave whatever comments you can, I will be very grateful.

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

Actors hitting the pop culture conventions to build up hype for their geek-oriented films is nothing new.

Press play on the YouTubes to see Rainn Wilson, star of the upcoming “Super,”

Howdy, Conmaniacs. Were you like me an skip the Oscars? I think I’d rather bash my foot in with a hammer before watching an entire awards ceremony. But now, what you’re really here for – NEWS! Dallas, home of the Cowboys, last year’s Superbowl, and the Dallas Comic Con, which just announced that it has

Hey Conmaniacs, hope the vacation treated you all well and were full of con goodness. Conmania HQ was rained out, but we still managed to capture the top con news coming off the wires for you. Creation Entertainment’s Official Vancouver Stargate SG-1/Atlantis Convention has updated their page with tentative show schedules and guest appearances. Including
