This year's Stan Lee's Comikaze expo will be held on November 1-3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California and is the third year of the event.
As the first and only multi-media, cross-genre expo to hit Los Angeles, Stan Lee's Comikaze has created a pop culture extravaganza that attracts celebrity appearances from icons to up-and-coming artists in the mainstream and "geek" worlds including animators, comic book and anime illustrators, special effects teams, writers, actors and filmmakers. Last year, the expo drew in 45,000-plus attendees, with more expected to attend for 2013. This November, the show will kick off with appearances by comic book legend, Stan Lee, and queen of horror, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, both partners in Comikaze.
