Veronica Lodge and her posse film near Vancouver, BC which is too far away from FL's Megacon. Wrong end of the country.

Will the Riverdale stars show for sure? Last year they cancelled on Edmonton Expo at the last minute.

Funny you should mention that, Camilla Mendes cancelled yesterday. Madeleine Petsch should be there though.

Big names?  Yes.  Comic draws?  I dunno - will we see anyone who tells us, yeah, I came because (insert above name) is here.

You need a tentpole name.

[Kevin Boyd]

I'm not disagreeing about the tentpole name thing, but that's from a marketing standpoint. I'm talking about from a fan and a collector perspective, there's a lot of meat there if you read and buy comics, and there's a variety of different creators from different backgrounds. 

[kimik]

It sucks to have JSC back out on you a couple of weeks in advance, Kevin. I can imagine how much work/time you had to put in to get him. 

That being said, as people above have noted, the other names will not draw the attention from fans/collectors here as they are 1) not as well known and/or 2) have been here recently (e.g. Jusko). At the first three one-day shows of the year in March, the only artist collectors were excited to see were JSC. Nobody else was mentioned, other than a couple of collectors wishing it was Andy instead of Adam coming to the show.
