Yeah Stan seemed to think in the video it could be more. I think he said maybe double. Well they estimated 60,000 early on and got hit with more which is why they had line issues with getting people in on saturday. The staffing was off in relation to demand. The other thing to not is the first comikaze had a $10,000 budget and had 30,000 people. Its the penny market. Isnt the idea to buy on potential speculation and what mega PR can happen..... Seems like thats how the whole market is played lol.
More than 50,000 people attended last weekend's comic book/gaming/sci-fi/horror convention, Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo, at the LA Convention Center. Debuting in 2011 with the largest first-time attendance of any comic book convention in history, this year's convention definitely built on that success and featured a great roster of guests, exhibitors, and events. I was there and got some great pictures of guests, events, plus fanboys and fangirls decked out in their best cosplay -- so read on and enjoy!
