Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo Coverage
Sun, April 25, 2010 
The Calgary Entertainment & Comic Expo is a showcase for just a few of those obsessive, shared loves. Comic aficionados, of course, have a place centre stage, but with the recent influx of blockbuster superhero movies and the $2 billion acquisition of comic giant Marvel by Disney, it’s getting harder to argue that comics live on the fringes. And why should they?
This year’s expo featured writers and artists who’ve made the genre such an explosive force, from the X-Men’s Chris Claremont who was one of a few people we were able to get an Exclusive Interview with, to Bruce Timm the co-creator of Batman: The Animated Series as well as several other DC comic's related properties was also in attendance, and TMT had a chance to sit down with him one on one, to discuss his next project Batman: Under the Red Hood, what's next for him and much more. Scott Morse Known mostly for his stand alone graphic novels, is now working for Pixar Animation, curently on Cars 2. TMT was also able to sit down with scott for an Exclusive Interview.
All of the TMT Exclusive Interviews from the expo can be read HERE.
The Highlight of the show for everyone, was likely the appearance from the nearly retired Leonard Nimoy. He was officially welcomed to the city by our Mayor Dave Bronconnier, who actually told him to use the force. As hilarious as it was, I don't think Dave will be getting the vote from any local fanboys this next election.
Other "Big Name" guests in attendance included Billy Dee Williams, Malcom McDowell, Brent Spiner, and Peter Facinelli.
This being the 5th annual event hosted in Calgary was said to be the biggest yet. Last years Expo had over 10,000 guests in attendance, and they're looking to grow the event even more for next year.
The next Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo will be April 30- May 1st, 2011.
