Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

The countdown is on for Supanova Comic Con & Gaming’s 99th event in Adelaide, next month, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable ride through fandom!


This year, the convention is pulling out all the stops to celebrate Supa-Stars from across the galaxy, including the legendary Anthony Daniels who portrays series mainstay and the droid you’ve been looking for, C-3PO, in the iconic 'Star Wars' franchise.

From the world of science fiction to real-life innovation, Adam Savage, the former Co-Host and Executive Producer of 'MythBusters' and the mastermind behind 'Adam Savage’s Tested'. Get ready to meet the man behind the maker movement and dive into the creative mind that has captivated millions!

If you’re a 'Buffy' devotee, don’t miss the chance to greet James Marsters, Sunnydale’s vampiric bad boy, returning to Aussie shores. Fans of 'The Karate Kid' can also meet Martin Kove, known for his role as John Kreese in the original trilogy and its hit sequel Cobra Kai, alongside his son and series co-star Jesse Kove.

And that’s just the beginning! Set to make their own ‘Return Of The King’ and Queen are 'The Lord of the Rings' Faramir and Éowyn, David Wenham and Miranda Otto, the latter of whom will appear exclusively in Adelaide.

Animation aficionados will also want to move fast to catch the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog, Roger Craig Smith; 'The Legend of Zelda''s titular heroine, Patricia Summersett; 'X-Men '97''s Rogue a.k.a. Lenore Zann, and Ash Ketchum from 'Pokémon', Veronica Taylor, returning to the event after guesting at the first-ever Supanova over two decades ago in 2002.
