I’ll be the first to admit that, by Sunday, I was muttering Roger Murtaugh’s (Danny Glover) catchphrase from the Lethal Weapon films. Apart from wondering how the hell I got so old so quickly, I ended up having a great day. It was a little less busy than Saturday was but there were...

Fan Expo is all done for another year, and it was a great show indeed.  The reactions I have seen for this year’s Fan Expo have been very positive.  I know for myself I was very happy with this year’s Fan Expo.  Especially since it was my first time covering it for Comic Book...

Saturday had to be, by far, the busiest of all four days. I’m not the biggest fan of wall-to-wall people, so I was really happy to have been able to sit in on panels for most of the day. Panel 1: Hulk/Ultimate Comics (Marvel) – Liveblogged here I have to say I’m incredibly excited...

Sorry for the delay, but con has been exceptionally crazy. It doesn’t help that this is the first year that I’m not in a hotel right by the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and so the logistics of travelling back and forth from my Mom’s has proven to be more of a pain in my ass than I had...

Marvel Comics announced two new titles for its CrossGen imprint slated for release in the near future. In December, CrossGen will be the home to a new Kiss Kiss Bang Bang four-issue limited series, featuring star writer Peter Milligan at the helm. Marvel’s Director of Communications...

Scoring an exclusive interview, on record, at Fan Expo can be a difficult but rewarding task. The artists and writers featured at this event have a lot of interesting things to say – be it about their current titles or their artistic process. Interviewing is as much an art as writing or...

Today was the final day of Fan Expo.  Typically Sunday is the lighter day, which was true for the beginning of the morning.  The afternoon got much busier. Since I spent all day at the show yesterday, and left the panels to the rest of the CBD staff, I cruised the floor to get see what was...

DC held a panel on Aug. 27 focusing on the DC 52 relaunch, where creators talked about their work, while new projects were also unveiled.

Kill Shakespeare co-creator offered a workshop on how to market your independent comic book, with topics ranging from finding the right partners to composing a sound business and marketing plan.

Ah, the first day of Fan Expo 2011. It was busy, but not too busy (which was nice). I do, however, think that things are just going to get busier from here on out. Before I begin, I should probably do the obligatory “suggestions for con-goers” such as: be sure to wear uber-comfy...

What’s going on this Friday at Fan Expo at downtown Toronto’s Convention Center? Plenty. From the looks of it Chris Claremont, X-Men, has just been added to the Expo line up. According to the Official 2011 Show Program Claremont will be appearing Friday August 25 at booth #743. At...

Fan Expo 2011 kicked off this Thursday April 25 and fan boys and girls lined up at the girls dressed up in their favorite superhero garb. The rain started around 1:30 p.m. causing event organizers to let fans in early to survey the goods, meet the celebrities and watch their favorite comic...

I can feel the excitement in the air as we are only two days away from Fan Expo, the biggest and baddest nerd gathering in the Great White North. While the summer may be drawing to a close there is still a last hurrah for every trekkie before they need to trade in that tricorder for a set of...

There were rumours earlier this year that we were going to see big changes with the 2011 convention. Last year's event was mired with fan complaints and issues with accessibility. Hoping to change that, Fan Expo has officially expanded to four days to better suit the needs of this growing convention. We had a chance to sit down with Fan Expo's Kevin Boyd to talk about what Canada's largest comic convention has in store for it's 17th year.
