The latest on the Comic Con Saga

From Mail & Guardian

Comic Con SA looks to be kind of 'meh'

If you read the entire article you will get a fair idea that this bloke doesn't have a cooking clue.

Another expose article on news24

"Local organisers are claiming that they acquired the rights to use the Comic Con name and host the event in South Africa. Lazygamer e-mailed Comic-Con International to validate this claim, to which Mike Stoltz, PR for Comic-Con International responded: "Thank you for your email. We are not affiliated with that convention and don’t know anything about it."
..."Lazygamer also noted the spelling of the name for the South African event is inconsistent with the international Comic-Con - which is hyphenated - while "Comic Con SA" is not."

I'm following the standard MO of the forum. Sue me. If everything had been merged into a single thread I would have put it there, but since there are 3 current active threads about the topic it made more sense to create a new thread.

I'm just joking with you dude, thought your statements were quite contradictory.

Either way, just because the mods break the forum rules, doesn't mean everybody should. Imagine if EVERYBODY created a new thread for every new piece of news.

I find it surprising that Lazygamer can pick up on any spelling/grammatical inconsistencies/mistakes since, well... their articles are littered with bad writing and errors. Which is why I don't read them...

i found this form the FB anime group, its a radio show got ahold of the organizer, i think this guy dose not know what hes talking about.


this guy is full of it, i feel that hes lying so hard. There moto "strike fast strike hard " hes needs to strike out of the event name "comic con" this guy dose not know what hes doing.
