Though I have as of yet, not posted my thoughts on the 2009 FanExpo the full lineup of guests for this year's geekapalooza has been announced. Taking place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from August 27th to August 29th, the FanExpo brings together several genre specific conventions into one massive location. There is the Comic Book Expo, SFX (science fiction), Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear (horror), CNAnime, and GX (gaming expo).
This year's guest list includes:
With special guests of honour - STAN LEE, WILLIAM SHATNER, YOSHITAKA AMANO, & DAVID CRONENBERG!!!! And that's only a few of the guests. There are still a lot more that I didn't mention and there's usually some latecomers and some who just happen to be there but where never announced.
Hopefully the con has learned from their mistakes in the past and this year will be the greatest year yet. I'm sure with this lineup, attendance will be through the roof!
