Amazing Comic Con Aloha! returns with a splash, announcing huge guest roster for February 2020 event

The organizers of Amazing Comic Con Aloha! must have felt devastated when, back in August last year, they had to cancel their event on what would have been the first day of the convention. Hurricane Lane had swept through the area and threatened the safety of the invited guests and attendees, making their way to Hawaii for the event.

Jimmy Jay, the founder of Amazing Comic Con, announced that the safety of their attendees and guest was ‘paramount’ to them and promised to make it up as the event moved forward.

Well, Jay and his team have lived up to their promise with an astonishing line-up of special guests, rolled out for the new 2020 show, taking place at the Hawaii Convention Center over the weekend of Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd February.

From the pop culture landscape, fans can meet and greet with the likes of Billy Dee Williams (STAR WARS, Mark Paul Gosselkaar (SAVED BY THE BELL), Jason David Frank and Johnny Yong Bosch (POWER RANGERS), Adrian Paul (HIGHLANDER: THE SERIES), Annie LeBlanc, Lilia Buckingham, Indiana Massara and Brooke Butler (Brit Network).

Anime is also strongly represented by the appearance of stars such as Justin Briner, Luci Christian, Justin Cook and Clifford Chapin from MY HERO ACADEMIA. Comic talent includes Donny Cates (ABSOLUTE CARNAGE), Jim Cheung (YOUNG AVENGERS), Fabrice Sapolsky (SPIDER-MAN NOIR), Phillip Tan (JOKER: VILLAIN OF THE YEAR), Eddie Nunez (HE-MAN), and illustrators David Nakayama, Mog Park and Sam Campos.

The show is being presented in collaboration with Collider, which means you’ll get to meet the stars of your favourite YouTube pop culture shows over the course of the weekend – they’ll also be on hand as the shows panel hosts and stage talent. Hey, well, if they’re going to be there, anyway…

It’s fantastic news that Amazing Comic Con is returning to Hawaii, bigger, bolder and stronger than before in the wake of their troubles. Tickets for the show are on sale as of today – here’s to more announcements as we get closer to February…
