Toronto opens its warms wide open to welcome to geek community from all across Canada and the US with TORONTO FAN EXPO 2010!
Movies, video games, anime and so much more available to patrons who showed up and endured lines and more this past weekend in Toronto. The TWIG crew grabbed microphones, cameras and hit the con floor with as much force as they could muster to bring you the con experience that was Fan Expo 2010. In this special event coverage, we have a chance to speak with some people like Jim from Udon Comics and famous director Charles Band from Full Moon entertainment and a special preview of the Tron video games from Propaganda games. However what else happened on the con floor to make the TWIG guys so disappointed in this year’s Fan expo? What almost made Birdman walk off the con floor in frustration and why was the fire marshal called and what one disappointed con goer had to say..
All this and more in this special event coverage inside!

In brightest day
In blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil’s might
Beware my power
Green Lantern’s light!
That’s right, This Week in Geek is about to slip on our power rings and take flight for this year’s Free Comic Book Day celebrations as we take a look at the Blackest Night Series from DC Comics. Join David “Double D” Denis and TWiG newcomer David “Asian Comic Book Guy” Diep, as they take a look at DC’s latest big event that started on last year’s Free Comic Book Day and could have just changed the world of DC forever. We’ll examine every facet of this widespread series from what we loved, to what was disappointing and all the surprises in between. The dead will definitely be rising for this occasion only on This Week in Geek!
