Wizard World Greenvile postponed until 2016 and could go up against Comic-Con

UPDATE: I've learned that this show could have been the victim of Wizard World's own aggressive scheduling, as there is an existing SC Comicon, which will be held at the exact same venue next week. Possibly the locals wanted to support the local show. Although this sounds like a change in planning and not part of the Great Con Contraction, even Wizard has decided to postpone one of it's show by a year. Wizard World Greenville, SC was scheduled for May 29-30, 2015 but has been rescheduled for July 15-17, 2016. The reason for the move was given as a scheduling conflict. The TD Convention Center in Greenville was only available for two days, and "Wizard World feels that the fans of Greenville would be best served by a weekend, three-day show for the full Wizard World Comic Con experience."

Review: strange things are afoot in Bill and Ted’s Triumphant Return

I wanted to like Bill and Ted's Most Triumphant Return #1. And for the most part, I did. It's got View Askew Productions veteran Brian Lynch on writing duties, who has done solid work for IDW's Buffy the Vampire Slayer series spin-off Spike: Asylum. It's got the art of Jerry Gaylord, who has lovingly personified other franchises like TMNT and Adventure Time. Yet while Bill and Ted were very much themselves, they also seemed to lose a little something in the translation.
