mysterio Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 This may be a long shot, but what about some of the older creators that haven't done too many shows lately? They may be reluctant to travel, but it would really be great to get an opportunity to meet these guys: Sal Buscema John Romita Sr. Joe Sinnott Someone else may have a few names of this era as well, but these are the first three that came to mind for me.

If you could ever get Sr to travel, a Romita Sr and Jr experience would be cool. Or if it could ever be put together, a Stan Lee and Romita Sr. experience. mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Boyd Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Some of those creators have adamantly retired from doing conventions, but not all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, figured thats why some only do private signings. Didn't know if any could be lured back out, but Im sure they like their set up now. Craig Kyle is another name that would be nice to see in Dallas added to the creators (creator of X-23 and writer on some of marvel properties). He did some CGC signings this year. Super nice guy and I enjoyed meeting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super nice guy and I enjoyed meeting him. Yeah, I know some have retired but am never sure who. I wouldn't expect anyone who has retired from the circuit to come back out, but getting a nice group of old school creators would be really fantastic. A mix of former and current creators would go a long way into turning this into a destination show for comic collectors. I think Dallas can support a show like that, in addition to the celebrities and craft fair booths that will appeal to the general population. I know Sinnott just did a show quite recently, so he is someone who might travel. Edited November 10, 2017 by mysterio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Boyd Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 You make it sound like we’ve never done that before... of course we will have creator guests, old and new. I appreciate the suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the suggestions! I certainly didn't mean to make it sound that way. Of course you get creators in to the show, and the lineups are always good. I am just hoping that the bar gets raised to STELLAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCollector2016 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Just throwing out some more celebrity ideas: Supergirl - Melissa Benoist 12 Monkeys cast/panel - final season next year Janina Gavankar - has appeared in a wide variety of TV shows, most recently Sleepy Hollow. She's also a pretty big nerd and is the voice of the main character in the new Star Wars Battlefront II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so we’ve got two headliners announced so far. Any other guests, particularly comic talent, that might be announced before 2018?

TheCollector2016 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hey Kevin, I was just curious, considering the line management and disorganization in the main celebrity area this past year, especially with the headliner, has a different plan been developed for next year yet? What is that looking like? Will there be a better system than ticketing for the headliner(s) as well, which also caused a big crowding issue?

Kevin Boyd Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) So yes, first off, that was a unique cluster of things all happening in a short period of time that caused pandemonium in the celebrity area. A perfect storm of compounding issues with schedules and changes due to weather. Epic has had a bunch of shows to fix the system for photo ops in case of delays, how to better communicate with customers and I know things ran very smoothly in that area at subsequent Boston, Toronto, Tampa, Dallas and Vancouver Fan Expo HQ events. They've made sure to take specific steps to avoid what happened in Dallas last spring. I don't know specifics, except to say that I know they've had many meetings on logistics and have had time at subsequent shows to make sure the celeb signing and photo op areas run smoothly and test some new ideas. One thing that I specifically want to commend our organization on is that they learn, they want to make sure that our attendees have a seamless, problem-free experience.
