Supanova: Comic Guests Recap
Wednesday, July 3, 2013
Supanova is a great place to be for a comics fan. While the majority of
folk are losing their minds for a glimpse of Karl Urban or spending all
day in a queue to get Carrie Fisher to scribble on something I was
getting a lot of time talking to legends of the comics world. They may
get a little less attention than the stars of film and TV over the
weekend but this just means dedicated fans like me have less queueing
and much more one on one time with our heroes.

Right off the bat, can I just say what a fun,
friendly and all round awesome guy George Perez was? From Friday night
at his masterclass ( check out my recap here)
right up until the dying minutes of the con on Sunday he was happy,
cheerful and full of energy. I was up at his booth many times over the
weekend. I had a massive stack of books on hand for him to sign. His
entire late 90's Avengers run with Kurt Busiek, his recent New 52
Superman and World's Finest and a couple of massive Absolute Editions
were among the stuff jammed in my car for the con. (and boy am I
grateful for the nearby media parking).

Supanova Perth 2013 Part 1 - The Infectious Exuberance of George Perez
Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Things all pop-culture, geek and comics have been descending like hot lava in Australia for the last couple of years.
As a convention organizer, Supanova
has been able to draw in the big name guests and crowds across the
continent. The most recent Supanova convention was held at the Claremont
Showgrounds in Perth.
Red Dot Diva's Aussie contact and hardcore geek/collector Luke Caporn attended the convention and has submitted an interesting and detailed report of the rundown of events.

What was really fun was when someone asked for a photo with him. His
table was the second one over, so it wasn't an option for us to go
around his side. Instead George would jump to his feet and run around to
the other side with a hop in his step. It was so great. He wasn't a
"please don't touch me" type either. He'd throw his arms around you and
get in close and let you get a few photos. He even insisted in getting
one with Kat my girlfriend (and photographer for the weekend) as well.
What a champ!

Supanova: George Perez's Comics Masterclass
Friday, June 28, 2013 by Capey
Supanova is upon us once again. The really dedicated geeks amongst us
descended upon Claremont Showgrounds in the cold for Preview Night. It's
a chance to see some of the guests a little early at the official
opening, see a couple special panels and get a head start on autograph
tokens.
For me it was a chance to get some time with a living legend of the
comics world. George Perez hosted an intimate little seminar, his comics
masterclass. It was an opportunity to watch him explain his craft both
verbally and physically as he sketched some rough pages live in front of
the audience.

Supanova Perth 2013 Summary and Haul

Supanova this weekend was another fantastic show. Royd outdid himself
this time getting 4 superb international comic creators - Chris
Claremont, George Perez, Alex Saviuk and Mark Brooks.

Day
2 came, and it was off to Mark's line again, while Shanan headed
straight to George's line to get her free head sketch. It turned out the
Mark was busy with other commissions, but he said that he was still
planning to get the Labyrinth piece done and suggested I come back later
in the day for Ryan's head sketch.

After so many text messages and facebook notifications, here's is my loooooooong awaited reported on Perth Supanova 2013.
I flew out from Melbourne on Friday and landed in time to be picked up
by Wrothy and go straight to the convention centre to collect tickets
and have a bit of a wander opening night. George Perez had a masterclass
which unfortunately we couldn't stick around for but it certainly
looked interesting. Perhaps another new forum member who went could shed
some light on what went down...
We left on Saturday whilst it was still dark and were basically the
first in line. One thing I'll say now about the convention is that it
seemed like Perth wanted to try something different - artists, voice
actors and media celebs were ALL against a far wall of the pavillion,
whilst the Exhibitors were by and large in the adjoining hall. I'm
interested to know what the feedback is, but from a fan's point of view
(specifically a comic art fan), it was awesome. Loads of free space to
stretch out across and just loiter around.
That was pretty much everything I had set out to do on my trip, on a
bit of a high, I decided to do the Perez line and see if I could get a
contribution in my Bat-book from him as well. He had the time, and
commented that he had not sketched a Joker for a while and that he was
just about due for one. Who am I to argue?
