![]() ![]() Until next time, this is your CEO and owner of John Jerva signing off from the 2023 Boston Fan Expo and hopefully next year, I’ll make my debut in Florida with more fandom and Intel. I’m sure Florida will have some rad Cons to probe in the future but for now, I’ll treasure this last trip to the Fan Expo and all the awesome fandom it entails! Comic Book Fandom on Full Display! Of course, there were super heroes galore everywhere you turned and as I plan to move to Florida next month, I said goodbye to Boston and the Fan Expo so iwas rather bittersweet. Myself and my daughter Sam taking in the Star Wars Booth!!! The Con floor was filled with droids who were running around like they owned the place and seeing R2-D2 cruise around was a treat worth the price of admission alone for this super geek who was there on opening day back in 1977. Star Wars was well represented at Boston and we were able to take pictures with a few familiar characters including Boba Fett and Darth Vader himself. Photos from celebrity panels including William Shatner, Stephen Amell, Emily Swallow and David Ramsey! Each star was awesome to listen to and it’s always a blast to be so close to those you normally only see on the big screen or TV. Zachary Levi was the best as he rode the line of what he could and couldn’t say and was hilarious with anecdotes aplenty. It was strange indeed as each star couldn’t mention or really talk about their movies or TV series due to the strike but they did their best to entertain those who came out to see them. ![]() I was able to record the full panels of all except Shatner but I did get an excerpt from his and you can see all of the full panels below courtesy of The Action Fix Live on the Action-Flix YouTube channel below! There was so much to see and do and we saw our fair share of celebrities including Shazam himself Zachary Levi, Arrow’s Stephen Amell and David Ramsey, the lovely Emily Swallow from The Mandalorian and SEAL Team as well as the icon himself William Shatner. Today, I went with my 15 year old daughter who has never been to one before and it was a treat to see how she reacted to the sights and sounds around her. It’s getting bigger every year and it’s attracting some of the best celebrities and comic book stars the industry has to offer. The Boston Fan Expo might not be as big as San Diego or New York but it’s perfect for those that are just starting out with Cons or those who want to enjoy fandom without a lot of the headaches. With today’s society being callous, politically correct and stuffy, Comic Cons are one of our last beacons of fun and friendship where nobody judges you and everyone is a friend connected by action, sci-fi and fantasy. This weekend saw the Boston Fan Expo in full gear and Saturday was a day to see celebrities and fandom galore. Today was a glorious day as I triumphantly made my return to a Comic Con after over four years. ![]()
