Toronto Comic Con was certainly an event in Toronto, not the Big Bang perhaps, but an event just the same. You had the usual fans dressed up in their costumes, interesting displays including the copy of Marty and The Doc's ride from Back To The Future, but if you were not a Comic book fan, the event lacked some pizzazz. Only attending Sunday and not for the entire 3 days prohibits my commenting on the event as a whole other than to say I thought it would be a little more Grand. I am sure Friday and Saturday had more glitz for those who did attend. The array of artists displaying their work was quite impressive, the talent on hand for conversation on Sunday lacked the Billy D "star" power but if you were a Star Wars fan, you left the event quite happy. Other notables such as Scott Thomson and Dustin Diamond made a few heads turn but I am not convinced they were as happy to be there as the ones who's heads turned. All in all the promoters I am sure are happy and they should be, the organizers and volunteers on hand were helpful, courteous and answered everyone's questions. Hopefully next time however, they will do a little more digging and realize there are some iconic Voice Actors in Toronto who would have enhanced the event had they been there. The Voices of Spiderman, Hermey, Hulk, Thor, Dorothy, Smurf, etc. were just blocks and a phone call away.
