We had the opportunity to visit The Metro Toronto Convention Center as droves of costumed rabid fans miraculously turned the venue into a landscape of fantasy, dreams and imagination, celebrating the fandom of anime, Sci-Fi, comics, and video games.
Once again presented by FAN EXPO Canada, as it was back with everything fans love including celebrity guests, comic creators, collectibles merchants, cosplay, and more! The annual pop culture convention celebrated three days of non-stop programming for fans of all ages.
There was over 150,000 SQ FT OF SHOPPING and hundreds of retailers to make the experience an unforgettable one! Specializing in everything comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, and gaming, these retailers had what the fans needed. It was the place to find just what you’re looking for – whether it’s comic books from any era, original artwork, graphic novels, memorabilia, DVD’s, videos, games, toys, or T-shirts – fans found it all here.
Comicon was a fan and collector’s paradise with row upon row of comic book racks to peruse, vendors of statues, and all manner of diverse and creative memorabilia collectables to be seized for your prized set. Whether it’s the hunt for toy bargains or that rare sought after item, there’s something for everybody.
Enthusiasts of fine art also had their pick of the crop to go through, with numerous artists showcasing their talent and offering for sale, rare illustrations for discerning connoisseurs to frame on their walls.
