It’s all treat, no trick, as Supanova Comic Con & Gaming prepares for 2025’s pumpkin season, announcing some seriously spooky Supa-Stars for its upcoming tour, kicking off on Halloween in Adelaide (31 Oct – 2 Nov), before boarding the ‘Zombie Plane’ to Brisbane (7-9 November).
Hot on the heels of Netflix’s record-breaking second season of Wednesday, Nevermore Academy’s resident gorgon, Ajax Petropolus a.k.a. Georgie Farmer, will now be ‘petrifying’ fans in both cities, making good on his promise to return after being unable to attend in 2023.
Otherwise known for his leading role in The Evermoor Chronicles, the rising star spells double trouble for Wednesday Supa-Fans in Adelaide, appearing alongside his previously announced series co-star Billie Piper – season two’s Isadora Capri.
From the monsters of Nevermore to the (Pocket) Monsters of Pallet Town, also set to return is fan-favourite VA Veronica Taylor, best known as the original English language voice of Pokémon protagonist Ash Ketchum.
With additional credits including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sailor Moon and its recent revival, Sailor Moon Crystal, Taylor joins Supanova’s ultimate assembly for animation aficionados, featuring industry legends Mari Shimizu (Astro Boy), Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh), Nolan North (Young Justice), Gregg Berger (Transformers), David Sobolov (One Piece), plus more.
Meanwhile, select stars of Radioactive Pictures’ outrageous action-comedy, Zombie Plane, are now set to layover in Brisbane, offering Autograph and Photograph opportunities exclusively on Saturday.
Brisnova Supa-Fans won’t want to miss Brian Austin Green, who became a household name as David in Beverly Hills, 90210, before landing further iconic roles in series such as Desperate Housewives, Smallville, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Green, who portrays a fictionalised version of himself in the upcoming zombie flick, is joined by Zombie Plane co-star Nicky Whelan for their Saturday-only appearance, beloved by Aussie audiences for her 107-episode run on Neighbours, with further parts in Scrubs and Hall Pass; the latter starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis.
These sensationally spooky new additions join an already Supa-Star-studded line-up slated for the shows, including Star Wars’ John Boyega (who rose to critical acclaim in the award-winning sci-fi/horror Attack the Block); Brisnova exclusive Michael Peña (Ant-Man, Sunday only); Charmed’s witch and whitelighter, Holly Marie Combs and Brian Krause, plus so many more.
Admission Tickets to Supanova’s three-day events in Adelaide and Brisbane are on sale now via Ticketbooth, with Autograph and Photograph Tokens due to be released this month, along with Friday’s Supa-Star attendance confirmations.
