This is the last Wizard show, they sold their live events to Fan Expo HQ.

I was just assigned comic creator bookings for it last week, and should have some news around the 21st. 

Any idea when you will have firm dates?

October 15-17 is definitely happening. I’m turning over images and bios to marketing today for the comic guests.

Would you be able to post a link to the creator list once it’s final?  Wizard’s site is useless.

I meant for 2022 when y'all take it over. Please don't tell me that it will be in October next year...

No the 2022 date for Fan Expo Chicago will definitely be in the summer. I can't share publicly yet as the 2022 schedule is not public. Not late August though.

So between mid-May and mid-August? 

[Kevin Boyd]

Summer starts June 20th according to my calendar. So between June 20 and Mid-August.

That is actually even better (as an academic I always think of "summer" in terms of the school year). Thanks!

@Kevin Boyd - thanks for all the updates!  Any chance you have a list of exhibitors that you could post?

Was it a good show??  With all the shows on the same weekend a couple had to have been duds.
