Sure, comic/fantasy/sci-fi conventions are often about star attractions and awesome costumes … but there’s much more.
Here’s a nod to the dozens of artists who toil on site and sell their creations, including Doug Nhung, seen sketching in this photo captured at the 2014 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo on Sunday.

All done … for now!

Well, as with poor Mario here, the game is up for another year for the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. There’ll probably be one more post with a few more photos from this year’s Expo. At any rate, I’m looking forward to another weekend of non-stop geektitude in 2015!

We’re down to the final hours of the 2014 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. I’ll be wandering the convention Sunday afternoon … so see you there!
P.S.: Flaky Internet connections not withstanding, I’ll be tweeting.

One of the marquee events at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this year was a cast reunion for the movie Aliens.
The actors discussed (among other things) their time on the set, their experiences working with director James Cameron and the impact of Alien on the sci-fi genre.
Here are a few snaps from Saturday night’s show.
