Wizard World 09 - A Look Back

Wizard World Philadelphia has been going strong since it started in 2002, and this year it just got better.


Spat Oktan, the new Convention Coordinator, really did a great job reorganizing Wizard World. With Heroes Convention going on the same week and San Diego only a month away, Philly was exciting and as informative as ever. Even though there was lack of comic publishers, Spat just did an incredible just pulling it all together.

Guests ranging from Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon of the comic world to Ray Park & Kristanna Loken of movies & TV, to Jesse Falcon & the Four Horsemen of the toy world.

The panels were very informative and fun. And the convention overall was very family friendly.

Things ran extremely smooth. And with the advent of bracelets instead of necklaces, there was no way for people to sneak in & out of the con.

With the way thing ran, I'm really looking forward to Wizard World Chicago and the Big Apple Con in NYC.

And today Gareb Shamus, CEO of Wizard Entertainment, just purchased Toronto Comicon, which mean another incredible con. Read the details here.

Below are some pictures of the event.
