Does anyone know if Stan Lee is scheduled to sign autographs at this event?

His management team isn't involved anymore. Doubtful, as he's basically retired now for real, isn't he? Edited to add he's also suing the company behind the con.

Hear my call and gather ‘round, geeks!

What’s this con like? Is it worthy of attendance? New stuff? Overpopulated with local comic shop booths? Tell me more, tell me more!

I’ve been spoiled by doing SDCC over 20x. Only checked out WonderCon the past two years.

TIA

So far, the guest list isn't all that great. Besides Trejo, Capullo and Liefeld, there aren't any other big names. Stan Lee no longer being affiliated with this con may have something to do with that, unfortunately.
