Pop culture, toys and art came together at the Pop Culture Canada’s Sudbury Comicon, held Saturday Nov. 4 at the Northbury Hotel in Sudbury. The travelling show attracted hundreds to the event, showcasing the best of cosplay and comics.
Organizer David Wyldstar said he loved the event date, giving younger attendees a chance to repurpose their Halloween costumes.
Well, I love getting the fans to come out and dress up, and these kids, they just have such great smiles when they put on their Spider Man or their you know, batman costumes, and we got them all out. It's amazing.”
The event just keeps getting bigger and better, said Wyldstar. We've reorganized the room, because when we were here in August, it was a little tight,” he said. “We've reorganized the room and made the aisles wider. We got more vendors here, comic books, more artists and more authors.”
And next August, even bigger. “We’re actually taking the entire floor (of the Northbury Hotel),” said Wyldstar, “So we're going to double the size of the space, double the number of vendors, and just, double the fun. And we'll have some celebrities at that show.”
Not only a chance to get into your favourite cosplay and check out what’s on offer, but an opportunity to support the Sudbury Food Bank, said Wyldstar, as every non-perishable food donation got attendees a raffle ticket and entrance into a spot to win prizes.
