EXTRAS
A nother year, another Supanova. With
this year’s convention being the first
since the latest Star Wars flick hit the
big screen, Rey and Kylo Ren were predictably
popular choices amongst cosplayers, and were
seen mingling with the omnipresent Vaders
and Stormtroopers.
Of course, Star Wars isn’t the only huge film
on people’s radars at the moment. Countless
Deadpools and Harley Quinns – of this year's
Suicide Squad variety – were hanging around and
causing trouble, and we even ran into the likes
of Captain Jack Harkness, Groot, Korra, Thor,
Iron Man, Bumblebee, and even Angemon and
Angewomon from Digimon.
Cosplayers aside, this year’s Supa Star Guests
were a sight for bluey-red-unhealthy-looking
eyes. Game of Thrones’ villain Joffrey – aka Jack
Gleeson – was the main attraction, but only
slightly outshone the likes of Burn Gorman, Manu
Bennett, Daniel Sharman and Bonnie Wright, with
outliers like the hosts of Cheez TV and the English
voice of Eren in Attack on Titan also making
appearances. And that doesn’t even begin to cover
the amount of merchandise we found ourselves
leaving with…
Supanova Expo gets bigger and better every
year. The rise of 3D printing has allowed for more
accurate and impressive cosplays, and the food
and atmosphere is always out of this world. Who
can go past Potato Spirals on sticks?!
Supanova heads to Sydney on June 17–19, and
Perth on June 24–26.
