Saturday was the big day for the Fan Expo weekend.  When I showed up at the convention center the lines were very long.  You could hear a murmur in the crowd if this would turn out like last year.  I brought a friend with me to the show, so he stood in line to purchase a ticket, while I was...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last two years, it’s that when you combine Fan Expo with a Saturday, you’re typically in for a rough day. Thankfully I was only on-site for a few hours on Saturday to cover the DC 52 panel and the X-Men panel. Unsurprisingly,...

This week, I managed to make it into the Friday of Fan Expo. Arriving for the start of the show, you could definitely see that this was going to be a busy day at the show, even before the big Saturday. I spent the first couple hours wandering around checking out some of the deals vendors were...

Hey guys, I’m currently at Fan Expo so I’m going to make this a bit brief, I promise I will expand upon it on Thursday’s regular column. Marko’s words were pretty much what everyone is reporting on the net. I don’t think even he’d deny that. What troubles me...

Some of DC's brightest creators involved in the Flashpoint mini-series spoke to fans for an hour on Aug. 26 at Fan Expo during the Flashpoint Friday DC panel.

Interesting day Friday. It doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be. It was terribly busy, but the crowd being spread out over multiple days is a good thing (at the very least for safety reasons). Again here are some random thoughts/helpful tips: Star Wars fans: go to the Star Wars Blu...

Friday at Toronto’s convention center, Fan Expo 2011 continued. Fan costumes were out in full force today and the venue was practically packed by 11 a.m. Saturday is what event planners have been bracing for. A big turn out is expected and organizers are doing everything they can to...

Whooo! Day one has come and gone and we have learned one fact: Thursday is the new Friday. A solid day, good size crowds but you still can easily look through the stalls and chat with the exhibitors. But does this mean that Friday will be the Saturday and Saturday will become some new...

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...
