Well, it's a day late, but family obligations got in the way.
Here's a look at Saturday and Sunday from the Canadian National Expo in Toronto, Canada. CBR's friends over at Pop Image Jonathan Ellis and Ed Mathews took the pics, while we provide the annoying commentary. That's what we do.
One of the big draws to this convention was "Star Trek" alumnist and "X-Men" star Patrick Stewart. Unfortunately, Stewart had heart surgery and wasn't able to make it, but promised to return once he's returned to full health.
Thanks again to Jonathan and Ed and the entire Pop Image crew.
