Comikaze Expo 2012 |
| Remarks |
We Are Now Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo!
Which is totally amazing and crazy at the same time! If you saw what we did last year as Comikaze Expo, just wait till you see what we have in store for you with Stan at the helm!
Stan Lee’s Comikaze is unlike any other comic-related event in the United States. Having spent much time researching both local and national conventions in the United States, the Comikaze Team crafted an event that will thrill and excite even the most casual comic fan. Stan Lee’s Comikaze is a multi-tiered extravaganza created by real comic fans with deep ties to the entertainment world. While Stan Lee’s Comikaze might have a classic convention vibe, it’s much more than that. The Comikaze Team did not want to make an event for industry people and hardcore fans only. Instead, they designed a more balanced event as an alternative to the standard fan convention, dedicated to the Los Angeles and geek community above all else.
