Comic Con Talk (Renamed since LA Comic Con can't get it together)

So apparently there's a new con trying to make inroads in Shreveport/Bossier and they'll be running the Bossier Civic Center:



This does not have any clear association to AVC Conventions (promoters of Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi Comic-Cons) and obviously has totally different branding as "SBC Comic Con" but...that absolutely looks like an AVC con guest list, right? Like they've literally been running many of those same exact names on their circuit.

However, if you dig in you'll see that it's put on by VXV Events, the founder of which was apparently a (former?) partner in AVC who is now trying to run his own cons throughout the south. He calls himself a partner (present tense) in AVC in the press release, but this certainly feels like direct competition.
