Invasion of the Comic Cons

By Carma Spence1. Science Fiction, Comics, Events & ConventionsComic Con, comics, Wizard World

austincomicconThe world of comics (and I’m not talking stand up here) is both its own genre and part of speculative fiction at the same time … which is why I include it. Many comic book fans are also fans of science fiction, fantasy and or horror and many comics fall into one (or more) of those genres.

This is why I’m sharing with you the return of Wizard to Texas with Austin Comic Con. It will be held at the Austin Convention Center Nov. 12-14, 2010 — so you have plenty of time to make your travel arrangements.

This pop-culture festival celebrates comics, movies, video games, toys, collectibles and more. Guests are yet to be announced, so I’m sure I’ll be talking about this again, soon enough.

Other Comic Cons produced by Wizard this year include:

  • Toronto Comic Con, Direct Energy Centre, March 26-28, 2010
  • Anaheim Comic Con, Anaheim Convention Center, April 16-18, 2010
  • Philadelphia Comic Con, Philadelphia Convention Center June 11-13, 2010
  • Chicago Comic Con, Donald E. Stephens (Rosemont) Convention Center, August 19-22, 2010
  • Big Apple Comic Con, Pier 94, October 7-10, 2010
  • New England Comic Con, TBD

About the author

As The Genre Traveler, Carma Spence loves to view the world through Genre-Coloured glasses. In other words, she sees the world through a lens of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, where trash cans can be Daleks in disguise and neighborhood forests can harbor faeries and sprites. Magic realism is real! Or at least you can choose to see the world that way to add to the fun and awe of life.
