FanExpo 2007: More Show Reports

:: Posted by Bryan @ 8/28/2007 06:00:00 AM
It seems like Sequential has turned into an endless series of linkdumps for con reports over the last few weeks, but I will continue for as long as the pleasure lasts.

Please send Sequential your photos, links, videos and comics about FanExpo 2007. To see all of our posts about the 2007 con so far, click here.

Today's links, photos, and reports from the 2007 FanExpo in Toronto:

1. Jason Truong and Danny Truong always turn in comprehensive show reports from all the Toronto cons. The Truong brothers are old pros at conventions and have the mechanics of standing in line for sketches and maneuvering around the convention floor down pat. Of the two, I think I prefer Danny's blog because his pictures are smaller and load faster on my ancient computer. Jason (whose con photos were recently featured in Wizard magazine) liked the guest list more but was manhandled by security. Lots of good tips, photos and criticisms of the show from both.

2. FanExpo comics event coordinator Kevin Boyd (who was interviewed here Friday) blogs about the con here and here. It was interesting reading how Kevin's new job with Hobbystar is working out (quick summary: he's very positive).

3. An Artist Alley virgin.

4. Not as good as Wizard World, Chicago.

5. Sketches.

6. Advice to Artist Alley virgins.

7. A nice slideshow on youtube.

8. A Silver Snail part-timer reports on sales and not being hit on.

9. A short 3-day report.

10. Video: The movie 300 acted by Klingons.

11. The movieblog audio edition has a recap and some other comics news.

12. Horror writer and con virgin Frank Cavallo gives his impressions.

13. The blog of of someone who cosplayed as Ken Matsushiro, master baker, has some criticisms of the show regarding how anime fans are ghettoized.

14. A show report and video from Monitor Duty.

15. Photos.

16. Jeffrey Renaud from Comic Book Resources has the Marvel Comics news.

17. Talent show.

18. Blogger plays sociologist and tries to get at the core of fandom.

19. Links to video of anime-themed skits from the masquerade.

20. Great photo of a dealer display.

21. Video: This link takes you to a list of search results for "fanexpo" on youtube. Mostly anime cosplay. My favourites are this long video by the creators of Toronto webcomic/graphic novel Empty Words, and this video which has a nice overview of the highlights.

22. Last but not least, Blake Bell has a trio of posts from the con: A report on the Romita panel, a podcast of DC news, and a photo dump.
