I haven't been disappointed with the guests since they started the event here. My only complaints were for a few cancellations or artists charging for signatures. Kinda annoyed me when waiting in a long line-up only to find out the artist charges for a sig on the spot or signs a couple for free and then charges for the rest. But still, I've had a blast at all of them.

- More guest announcements to come tomorrow.
It seems George Perez might show up. He has it listed on his official Facebook page although the dates are a little messed up which is odd:
CONVENTION SCHEDULE FOR 2015 (so far) UPDATED Now that I'm working on a reegular series again, I will be keeping my convention schedule relatively light next year, but these are ny scheduled shows so far. I've deliberately kept January, March and May clear for some personal stuff so I'm not likely to book anything for those months.. There are a few places I have never visited before, so I'm looking forward to meeting up with some new faces there. UPDATE: I've just confirmed an appearance in Denver Colorado in Novemner
February 13th – 15th: Amazing Arizona Comic Convention, Phoenix, AZ
April 6th – 7th: Fan Expo Canada, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
April 10th – 12th: MegaCon, Orlando FL
June 19th-21st: Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con, Las Vegas, NV
August 7th – 9th: Texas Comicon, San Antonio, TX
September 4th – 7th: Dragon*Con, Atlanta, GA
September 18th – 20th: Amazing Hawaii Comic Con, Waikiki, HI
November 7th - 8th: Rocky Mountain Con, Denver, CO
The dates are a bit messed up since FanExpoVan takes place on April 3-5. Anyway, I hope he does show.

- Wow... Seems really small this year. I'm guessing this is because they're doing it over the easter weekend? I really hope this doesn't impact future events because Vancouver needs a really good con every year..

- No, and now I'm glad I waited. I was initially waiting for the exclusive comics and they were disappointing for me. No Karen Gillen is the tipping point.

Good. I remember last year you bought tickets but couldn't go due to family. Kinda disappointed with this years guest list. It's the smallest list I've seen. The first Fan Expo in Vancouver was bigger if my memory serves me right. I'm still excited to go and meet some of the creators. The sketch duels seems pretty poor though. No McNiven, Perez, Zeck, Skroce, or Sadowski participating in it at all. All they have is creator spotlights which are okay but I wanna see some art and I wanna hopefully win some. I feel they dropped the ball this year. Plus this Con is being held on the same day as California's Wondercon. Which is I assume a way bigger comicon.
Hopefully next year is bigger, better and more organized because this all feels like it was done at the last minute.

Lol. They posted that she would be coming just shortly after I posted that other reply to you.
I'm just now trying to get info if Mike Zeck has cancelled since his name doesn't show up anywhere on the schedule. Doesn't say cancelled under his name on the sites comic guest list so I'm a little perplexed.

- It's unfortunate that George Perez had to cancel due to health reasons. What sucks is I missed out on today due to my own health reasons. I'll be going back tomorrow as I'm starting to feel better.

- Back from FanExpoVan. Had a good time going around collecting comics and seeing comic creator panels. Some vendors were charging ridiculous prices for some comics though.

- So looks like next years Fan Expo Vancouver will be held on November 11-13th, 2016. Pretty sure the reason for the date change is so they aren't up against Wondercon every year. This should help bring better guests/creators.

- Yeah I also noticed the date change next year....seems like a long time to wait.
I went the friday only. Although it felt similar to last year, I still had a good time. I picked up a 4 older ASMs and few other older fill ins for a good price.

They gave a reason as to why they changed the event date via there twitter account. It was due to Fan feedback, venue scheduling, and guest scheduling. Wondercon is held on the same dates as Fan Expo Van has been in the last 4 years so I think it's a good Idea. Also there are other cons that follow very shortly after the easter weekend. This should free up comic guests, vendors, celebrities, sponsors, etc because there isn't much going on for Con's in November.
But at least a long time means we have a long time to save some cash for the next event.
This years event was pretty small though. Not much for guests this year as apposed to the past years. Pretty sure that's why we didn't get as many guest announcements was because they were scrambling to find guests. Of course the guests will attend the bigger cons like the ECCC and Wondercon.
I picked up a ton of comics this year though but there was less vendors this year.
Picked up Alias #1-28, Avengers #196, various 1977 Nova comics, Lethal Foes of Spidey set, Man Without Fear set, Death of Wolverine set, Marvel Premiere #48, various X-Man issues, Thanos Quest set, Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #2-11, and Some Deadpool comics. Got a ton of Comics signed as well.
Hoping that next year is far better.
