“After last year’s obnoxiously celebrity-focused Wizard convention, I swore off future Wizard conventions in Chicago, but the surprisingly strong guest list (on the comics end; while some might flip for things like a cast reunion of the children from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I am not one of them) for this year’s event proved that I am nothing if not weak-willed,” Matthew Brady writes.
“There was much to see, purchase, and interact with, and as much as I may get annoyed by aspects of it, it’s still fascinating to see such a huge swath of nerd culture all crammed into one location.”
