Convention season is still rolling on, and New Jersey is getting a full-service con on November 21-22 with the New Jersey Comic Expo and they’ve just announced a special guests in the form of Garth Ennis. Ennis rarely does conventions so this is a good chance to hear him talk about Preacher, The Boys and his new project which is called, unexpectedly, A Train Called Love. And from the cover, above you can see this will be something very unusual, bunnies included.
Ennis speaks at 1 pm on Saturday. The rest of the guest list is excellent as well including:

Now I know what you are thinking: New Jersey. Well The Beat is a proud New Jersey native and it’s about time Jersey got in on the comic con excitement! I’ll be moderating a bunch of panels there myself and showing off my Jersey Pride.
It’s also very family friendly, with kids under 10 getting in free for the entire show.
This show is put on by the folks behind the Long Beach Comic Con, so it should be a full service show. “We are blown away by the support we’ve received from the creators,” said Martha Donato, Executive Director and Founder of the New Jersey Comic Expo. “We are thrilled to have Garth at our inaugural New Jersey event. His work on Preacher and The Boys is well known in the comics world and with the launch of his AMC TV series, he’ll soon be a household name. ”
It looks like a great show, but for this New York resident, I’d be taking a train, then a bus, then walking for 30 minutes.
I hope there are shuttles to the hotels (a 30-minute walk) and to the Metuchen train station.
This will be the third major comic con in New Jersey this year. (Meadowlands, Atlantic City, Edison)
That’s pretty amazing, for a state which gets overshadowed by Philadelphia and New York!
I’ve been told you can take NJ transit in from Penn Station to the Edison or Metro park stop, then hop in a cab to get to the Expo center. The cab is something like 15 bucks. Check it out!
