   I’ll fly to Adelaide just to see Jewel Staite.

   I’ll also ask the obvious question, why not Melbourne or Sydney?

      Adelaide doesnt have that many bogans…

      Just dont venture out to the northern suburbs, if you do find the closest blunt object.

   I am surprised that its coming to Adelaide.

   And i think that Stan Lee and Patrick Stewart are coming to the Adelaide one, there is nothing on the website that says they are only going to the Melbourne one.

   Might consider going to the Melbourne one. But odd choice, why not Sydney too? We also get the typical Aussie guests and essentially no AAA names. I don’t want just Riker, I want the whole TNG crew for example.

       We are also getting the Final Fantasy concert Distant Worlds here. I believe its because Adelaide has the highest concentration of geeks. Or maybe we have so little to do here that we can’t help but go to events. I mean, it’s not called the festival state for nothing.

    Good reporting…Not. This event is not ComicCon and is not in any way affiliated with the US Comic Con. This is purely two Australian business trying to use the ComicCon brand, without permission mind you, to raise awareness of their event. Strange that it he organisers are the ones that were dumped from being involved with Armageddon. I wouldn’t be surprised if these people are not even confirmed and are only being used to gather support from exhibitors and potentional attendees. Come on Kotaku…surely you can do better than to report of false information.

    We’ve got Armageddon and Supanova, not to mention Manifest for the anime-inclined (ie me), how is this something new?
    Not that I’m complaining Stan Lee, Patrick Stewart and Jewel Staite are coming to Australia, but perhaps could have been written differently.

    Your kidding yourselves if you think Stan lee is attending any Con in Australia,Last time enquiries were made the cost was $150,000us, 2 first class flights , 5 star accommodation how could any con in oz afford this and still break even. It will turn out to be a late cancelation if he has agreed at all?!
