Welcome to Paradise
The comic book world rolls into Toronto this weekend for the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon. The show has a pretty big guest list, including Greg Rucka, Gail Simone, Bart Sears, Becky Cloonan, Dave Sim, David Lloyd, George Perez, the Beat, Jill Thompson, Bryan Lee O'Malley and Dan DiDio, who spoke to the Metro about the con:
Metro: What’s are your impressions about Toronto as a comic book town?
DiDio: “Every time I went to Toronto I was always surprised to see the number of comic stores in the area and how well they were frequented by the fans. I always got the impression there’s a real strong base of comic fans up there.
“I also always felt that the fans there had a real sense of the current, of what trends are going on. I really got a good taste of where the industry is going and what might be breaking soon by what’s working well in Toronto.”
In addition, the con will host the Shuster Awards and Women of Comics events.
