Later this week, downtown Albuquerque will be teeming with the geeky masses who will flood the Albuquerque Convention Center for the inaugural Albuquerque Comic Expo. Sure it's not San Diego Comic Con or Wondercon or any of those other events that you've heard of. What it is, is the largest major Comic Book and pop culture convention ever in New Mexico. Featuring an appearance by MARVEL comics legend Stan Lee, Sony's visual effects panel for Green Lantern, and the New Mexico incarnation of the TROMADANCE Film Festival there is nothing lightweight about the guests and events that ACE has lined up.
There will also be plenty of film and television legends. As well there will be a Star Wars Panel, featuring fan favorites Peter Mayhew(Chewbacca), Jeremy Bulloch(Boba Fett, SW:ESB), and Tom Kane(Yoda, SW:CW). Star Trek fans can rejoice, as both Levar Burton and Marina Sirtis will be on hand for a Star Trek: The Next Generation Q&A Panel. Of course comic books fan can rest assured that they are well represented. After all they really couldn't call it a Comic Expo if they didn't have dozens and dozens of some of the best comic book artists and creators in the industry.
DisFanReview will be on hand for all three days to give you the low down on all the big events at ACE. As well, we will be wandering the Expo floor to find the very best fan made costumes at the event. We will be tweeting photo's and updates all weekend. So, be sure to follow us over at our twitter page and bookmark this page, because we will be providing full coverage of the biggest panels and bring you the Albuquerque Comic Expo's biggest stars.
AND Let's hope that MARVEL recognizes the Albuquerque fans for being so cooperative during the filming for The Avengers by giving us some kind of sneak peek or something! PLEASE MARVEL SHOW US LOVE!!!
