A Day at Comic Con Revolution - 2023!

Today was the first day of the Comic Con Revolution Ontario. It has become very busy with crowds at the Ontario Convention Center.  The back area had the guests including the Avatar: The Last Airbender voice cast; Greg Baldwin (Uncle Iroh), Dante Basco (Prince Zuko), Jack De Sena (Sokka), Grey Delisle (Princess Azula), Zach Tyler Eisen (Aang), Jessie Flower (Toph), Olivia Hack (Ty Lee), Jennie Kwan (Suki), Cricket Leigh (Mai), and Mae Whitman (Katara). There was also a celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with Carla Perez (Rita Repulsa) with Walter Jones (Zach Taylor/Black Ranger) and Catherine Sutherland (Kat Hillard/Pink Ranger), and Karan Ashely (Aisha Campbell/Yellow Ranger) who starred in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always. Catherine Sutherland. Other guests include Deborah Ann Woll and Mercedes Varnado. The front of the hall featured Aspen Comics as well as other retailers. It was great to catch up with actress Jackie Dallas at the GeekFest Film Fest table.

Across the hall was a room for Artists Allley and against the wall was the cosplayers like Raychul Moore, The Girl With A Great Smile, and Angi Viper among others including some cosplay groups like the Los Angeles Ghostbusters. It was great to see cosplays walk the floor like Krampus, Boba Fett, and The Mandalorian. Comics writer, Chris Claremont, had a long line at Artists Alley. Also, next to him was Timothy Zahn who wrote Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil (2021). Comic writer, Eric Palicki, wrote Ninja Kaidan from Blackbox Comics about Yuki Snow who uses new technology in a suit of armor to contact ghosts! He co-wrote the No Angel series with actress Adrianne Palicki, his sister. It follows ex-soldier Hannah Gregory who may be descended from angels! Artist, Cat Staggs, had a table with her work from her variant coer for World of Krypton #6 to original artwork. It was also nice to see Tone Rodriguez, artist of Stray Dogs, who was working on custom Remarque Funko Pops as well as sketches. I brought up again the Hero Initiative books which he worked on and one fan brought the Batman 100 Project. Comic Con Revolution continues tomorrow so there is still a chance to take part in another fun comic convention!
