WELCOME TO
SUPANOVA 2017
Welcome to Supanova Comic-Con sponsors
& Gaming Expo’s April 2017 tour of
Gold Coast and Melbourne!
2017 is our 15th anniversary year! What better way to celebrate than to harken back to our
comicfest! roots with a slight rebrand in being called Supanova Comic-Con & Gaming and
an amazing Thor cover thanks to visiting artist, Esad Ribic, with local fellow guest, Gregory
Mackay, providing six beautiful pages of his own.
Aside from comics, the other aspect of being a ‘Comic-Con’ when looking at the biggest and
best, Comic-Con International: San Diego, is the exclusive panels and screenings they have
and for Australia we’re doing exactly that with seven different film and TV productions sending
cast and/or crew. We’re so excited!
In contrast, adding ‘Gaming’ is a step into the future with Supanova working hard to bring even
more interactive elements to our events for you to enjoy. Walking into our events you’ll be able
to see the differences firsthand.
We also have great news for the cosplay community with IronLak sponsoring the competitions.
For Gold Coast fans you’ll be able to cheer our first ever Supanova Supa-Star Ambassador,
John Jarratt, who’ll be headlining the Supanova Superhero Parade Sunday morning, April 23rd,
along with our Cosplay Ambassadors.
Lastly, we’d like to welcome our new literary sponsor, QBD Books, who join mainstays such
as Madman, FilmInk, Domino’s Pizza, Popcultcha, Weta, Global Gear and the Gold Coast Film
Festival, in helping us make these events the best they can be for you our fans.
Welcome to Supanova 2017 – Where we’ve just taken it to
another level!
Yours in fun,
Daniel Zachariou

detailed maps, timetables and quick-reference guest guides. Info Booth, ATMs, Toilets and parent

Where Are Your Kids?
For parents and guardians: as you enter Supanova, agree on a place to meet your child if they
somehow get lost. The “Kids Wristbands” table near the entrance (see the map on pages 30-31)

If you have a special needs access request (e.g. in Q&A panels or autograph lines) due to a disability
or mobility requirement, please approach a volunteer and let them know what you need because
they can assist you. Remember to bring your disability or carer’s card with you.

(Gold Coast) or 03 9372 2744 (Melbourne), seek assistance from a Supanova volunteer or staff
member, or go to the Information Desk marked on your map.

ECHOING ARTEMIS
Melissa (Echoing Artemis) is an award-winning cosplayer from
Canberra who lost count of her outfits years ago. 2017 marks her
fourteenth year of creating costumes, which she looks forward to
sharing with you. Cosplay has introduced Melissa to an endless array
of skills and techniques, although she professes a particular fondness
for sewing and wig-styling. It has also introduced her to incredible,
like-minded folks and the community has quickly become one of her
favourite parts of the hobby. She is passionate about ensuring that the
community is a welcoming and positive place for others, aiming to give
back through panels, online tutorials and encouragement. Melissa’s
alter ego is that of a registered psychologist. This allows her to support
the community in unique ways, so you’ll often find her speaking on
mental health panels or checking in on Supanova’s safe spaces. She’s
always happy to chat, so be sure to drop by and say hello!

Hey Supa Fans!
Cosplay has really become one the most amazing parts of Supanova over the past 15 years and we have had to put some rules in
place about prop weapons and cosplay requirements. With the skills and quality of cosplay always growing, technology changing
and legislative requirements which we all have to meet, Supanova has put them all into the new Supanova Cosplay Guidelines.
1. Respect Everyone 4. State and Federal
We are all here to have a great time! Legislative Requirements

The Supanova Cosplay Guidelines were developed with months of feedback from the Australian cosplay community to balance
the requests of cosplayers, but also the requirements of Supanova. Check out the Supanova Website for the full list of Supanova
Cosplay Guidelines http://www.supanova.com.au/weapons-policy/ or come speak to the team at CosplayHQ.
