An amazing first day at Vancouver’s first major comicon! The Canadian city is in the heart of majestic mountains. Fan Expo Vancover is at the convention centre on the waterfront. It looks like Asgard on Earth – a perfect setting for Thor!
Adam West & Burt Ward (TV’s Batman & Robin) are big attractions along with their famous Batmobile. Many costumed fans – including a few Batmen – waited for the photo op with the famous ride!
I had the opportunity to interview the legendary Len Wein and Whilce Portacio, stay tuned for more. One of my favorite non-panel panels was the sketch duels – 3 artists, 1 hour, great conversation between creators and fans. Round 1 was Mike Choi, Georges Jeanty and Stephen Sadowski. Mystique won Sadowski’s Aquaman sketch! Tony Daniel, Whilce Portacio and Yanick Paquette were round 2 – the fans challenge – draw Harley Quinn with the character of your choice! Tomorrow is Esad Ribic vs. Tim Bradstreet.
Fan Expo Vancouver brought stars of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Stargate, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and one of my favorites Kristin Bauer of True Blood!
I’m working on more posts including some cool fan costumes! Stay tuned.
