Everyone here at the Comic Book Expo is overwhelmed and excited by the support we're seeing from the "big two" comic book companies --- from Marvel, who will be setting up a 30 x 30 island at Fan Expo for the first time EVER at a Canadian comic book event as well as editorial support from our old friend CB Cebulski --- to DC Comics who are sending their DCU Executive Editor Dan Didio!

 

We've got all sorts of exciting things planned with both companies this year that we think comic book fans will enjoy. This is the only Canadian visit for Marvel and DC so we're looking to do something special for the fans, and with this year's stellar guest list this will be a cannot miss event.

 

We're just confirming with Marvel the details on a SECOND Fan Expo Canada variant for 2008. Should have information for you VERY soon!
