Comikaze is unlike any other comic-related event in the US. Having spent much time researching both local and national conventions in the United States, the Comikaze Team crafted an event that will thrill and excite even the most casual comic fan. Comikaze is a multi-tiered extravaganza created by real comic fans with deep ties to the entertainment world. While Comikaze might have a classic convention vibe, it’s much more than that. The Comikaze Team did not want to make an event for industry people and hardcore fans only. Instead, they designed a more balanced event as an alternative to the standard fan convention, dedicated to the Los Angeles and geek community above all else.

This year at the first Comikaze Expo, not only can you expect to see a large variety of comic book dealers, and other vendors, but you can also expect to see some great guests from all over comics, movies, horror, and other media; including the Godfather of comics and father of Marvel Comics, Stan "The Man" Lee, and be sure to meet "Elvira Mistress Of The Dark" as she makes her last appearance and many more!

Comic Book Divas and Comikaze Expo wish the best of luck to all the contestants; now is the time to stand up and say "I AM A COMIC BOOK DIVA!"

Please send all essay entries to jeffhughes@comicbookdivas.com; deadline will be November 1st 12:00 midnight CST.
