The Niagra Falls Comic Con, In Pictures

William Wright writes,

Niagara Falls Comic Con has quickly become one of the best conventions North of the border in the five years since its inception. You can visit the con by day and have the beautiful nightlife if Niagara Falls waiting for you when you finish for the day.

This year Niagara Falls Comic Con pulled out all the stops with an impressive list of celebrities including David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider/Baywatch), Scott Wilson (The Walking Dead), Sean Astin (The Goonies/Lord of the Rings), Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy), Alfonso Ribeiro (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars). The con was balanced out by some amazing comic book personalities like Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Darwyn Cooke, Rafael Albuquerque, and David Finch.

While other comic conventions have serious issues with overcrowding and insaney long lines, Niagara Falls Comic Con still packs thousands into the Scotiabank Convention Centre but there is a feeling of intimacy. You can actually interact one-on-one with creators and celebrities without feeling rushed out the door. The vendors at the convention pedal every type of geek paraphernalia known to man, and keep you busy for hours as you search for the holy grail of comic books, video games, or horror films.
