'Fan Expo Dallas' Returns to the Convention Center this Weekend

DFW is ready, are you? Fan Expo Dallas returns to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas this weekend, September 17 - 19.

It's been a couple of years since we have been to a major Comic Convention and the Fan Expo people usually put on a good one. We're hoping this weekend, even with some COVID restrictions, this one will be as good as can be expected.

There have been a few stars that have dropped out due to COVID concerns and other stated reasons, but the list that is supposed to be there is still pretty darn good, here are a few:
