It’s Quantumania for Supa-Fans, next month! Prepare to get ‘Lost’ in the realms of pop culture prestige, as Supanova Comic Con & Gaming jets into Sydney (21-22 June) and Perth (28-29 June) with new and returning Supa-Stars that are sure to generate some buzz!
The MCU’s Evangeline Lilly, Hope van Dyne a.k.a. Wasp in Marvel’s Ant-Man film series and Avengers: Endgame, will make her Supa-Star debut on Sunday only in Sydney, before taking Oceanic Flight 815 out west to Perth.
Lilly first launched to international fame as Kate Austen on the Primetime Emmy award-winning series LOST, before embarking on an unexpected journey in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, portraying Tauriel in the second and third installments, alongside previously announced June Supa-Star Stephen Hunter.
Wasp isn’t the only size-changing Supa-Hero joining Supanova’s upcoming line-up; the convention welcomes back the titanically talented Bryce Papenbrook, appearing exclusively in Perth! Renowned for his starring roles in some of the biggest titles in anime (literally!), Papenbrook has lent his voice to Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan, and Inosuke in Demon Slayer, plus so many more.
Literary legends will charge ‘Fearlessly’ into both cities, led by Powerless author Lauren Roberts. After concluding her first epic fantasy trilogy with her novel Fearless earlier this year, the #BookTok sensation is now set to tour Australia, with a special after-hours stop in Sydney for ‘A Supanova Evening with Lauren Roberts’, tickets to which are on sale now.
The Monday evening event will be hosted by another June Literary Legend, author of The Medoran Chronicles Lynette Noni, who is also enjoying a victory lap after recently publishing an exciting new romance in Wandering Wild.
Joining Roberts and Noni in both cities are actor and author Luke Arnold (Fetch Phillips series), and Alan Baxter (Blood Covenant), as well as New Dawn Publishing’s Madeline Te Whiu (The Soul Thief Trilogy), Juliet Marillier (The Amber Owl), and first-time Supa-Star C.C. Davie (The Wytchling Chronicles).
Returning authors Kate Forsyth (Bitter Greens) and Megan White (Anatomy of Songs) will represent New Dawn in Sydney, opposite the publishing power of IFWG’s Leanbh Pearson (Loki: Untangling a Tale), J.M. Merryt (The Colour Out of Hautdesert), Hayden Fryer (Bristlemouth: A Cove Horror), and award-winning graphic novelist Stephen Kok (Word Smith, 5 Seconds).
Comic fans won’t want to miss the likes of Jon Sommariva (Neverlanders), Davi
Tickets to both cities are on sale now, along with strictly limited VIP and Supa-Q Passes for Perth.
