The reviews are in… and YOU LIKE US! YOU REALLY LIKE US! 💥 Thank you to everyone who came out, shared photos, tagged friends, and helped make Brantford Comic Con 2026 such an unforgettable weekend. We’re still recovering… but already excited for next year.
We had Brian O’Halloran as a guest at Brantford Comic Con 2026 this past weekend, and there’s an old saying about never meeting your idols — but in this case, I honestly think every single person left a bigger fan than when they arrived.
Brian was incredible all weekend. Technically, he was only scheduled to appear at the convention on Saturday, but he actually asked if he could come into town early on Thursday just to explore Brantford and check things out.
On Friday night, we hosted a karaoke pre-party at a local venue, and Brian and his girlfriend Diane came out, grabbed some drinks, hung out with fans, and even jumped on stage to sing. Brian absolutely crushed a couple of Black Sabbath and Radiohead songs, while Diane gave Canada some love with a Nickelback track. The whole thing felt surreal almost like it wasn't happening.
At the convention itself, Brian made sure every fan interaction meant something. He took genuine time with people, shared stories, joked around, and made everyone feel appreciated. It never felt like they were just a transaction or rushed. He truly understood how much those movies meant to people and wanted to connect with the fans who supported them.
We’re only a second-year convention, but Brian also took the time to sit down with us and offer honest feedback about the show and some of the pitfalls he’s seen at other conventions. It was such a cool and unexpected moment to see how much he genuinely cared about helping us grow and succeed.
Then on Saturday night, we hosted our Rock N’ Wrestling After Party with Ming Chen, and Brian and Diane came back out to support it. They stayed late, took selfies with fans, watched wrestling, and just fully embraced being part of the community for the weekend.
I just wanted to share my experience having him for the weekend.

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY! May the 4th be with you! Huge shoutout to our very own Stormtrooper Mike South and the incredible team at the Canadian Garrison / 501st Legion for being such a big part of Brantford Comic Con. Mike was one of the first to respond when we launched BCC, saying he wanted to get involved. Since then, he’s taken thousands of photos and spent countless hours patrolling the con floor… keeping an eye out for rebel scum. See him this weekend at Branford Comic Con 2026 at the Lions Park Arena!
Buddy It's Go Time... We are a week away from Brantford Comic Con. You're at THIS level, but we need you to get to THIS level before next Friday night!
