SUPANOVA 2015

I ron Man, Gnar and a Jedi walk into a bar... and as strange as that may sound, it’s not an uncommon occurrence when the annual Supanova pop culture expo comes around. This year’s show hit the Melbourne Showgrounds on April 10-12, and was full up to Superman’s cape of all things geek chic. Amongst the stars soaking up Melbourne’s admiring atmosphere were Back to the Future ’s Christopher Lloyd, Teen Wolf ’s Tyler Hoechlin, He-Man Dolph Lundgren, and The Walking Dead’ s Robin Lord Taylor. Pulling the biggest crowds – and the highest concentration of Marty McFly cosplayers you’ve ever seen – was Lloyd, although it wasn’t just the actors attracting attention. British sci-fi author Peter F. Hamilton had a decent queue, as did WETA modelmaker Richard Taylor, as well as RWBY’s Barbara Dunkelman over in the Hanabee booth. Every year the cosplayers come in higher numbers and more varying detail, and 2015 was no exception. With Riot Games’ League of Legends only getting bigger, it came as no surprise that most were dressed as “champions” from the game. Also not in short supply were Stormtroopers, Jedi, Batmen, Spirited Away No Faces, Lara Crofts, Deadpools, and Harley Quinn in all her variations. And of course the merchandise hall was chock full of everything from posters and remote control Daleks, to the latest figurine sensation sweeping the nation – Funko’s POP Vinyls.

Hitting Sydney and Perth in June, and landing in Adelaide and Brisbane in November, other Supanova guests joining the line-up include Firefly ’s Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin, and The Flash ’s Danielle Panabaker.
