Fan Expo 2010 starts this Friday
The end of August is the one time of year where the various geek and nerd subcultures collide in a heady mix of homebrew costumes and unadulterated hero (and heroine) worship. Fan Expo, the ultimate Canadian merger of fandom takes place August 27-29, and brings together the Canadian National Comic Book Expo, the Science Fiction Expo, the Festival of Fear, the Anime Expo and the Gaming Expo once again under the roof the the Metro Convention Centre.
Over the past couple of years, we’ve been lucky enough to cover Fan Expo and in the process talked to a lot of great authors, artists, actors and more. We’re going to be embedded once again for 2010, cameras in tow, to try and 1 UP ourselves. If you’re new around these parts, you can check out our past coverage of both 2008 and 2009. It’s almost like going to a convention, for free, all emanating from the warm glow of your computer screen.
Just a random sampling of the guests that are attending this year:
David Cronenberg – Stan Lee – Ken Russell – William Shatner – Lance Henrikson
James Marsters – Michelle Forbes – Jeff Lemire – Felicia Day – Robin D. Laws
Cameron Stewart – Summer Glau – John Romita Jr.
Honestly, the guest list is just too huge to present in it’s entirety, so take a look at the guests lists after the break:
