Comic Con Revolution returns this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth
at the Ontario Convention Center with amazing guest appearances and
cast reunions, legendary comic book creators, iconic voice actors, world
class photo ops at a curated mix of vendors and exhibitors.
(00:36):
There's nothing quite like Comic Con Revolution, and tickets for
the eighth annual Comic Con Revolution are on sale now.
You can go to Comic Conrevolution dot com. But joining
me in studio right now is the founder and creator
of Comic Con Revolution, Drew Selden. We welcome him back
to the show. Tell us about this Inland Empire's largest
(00:57):
comic and pop culture event ever.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Absolutely well again, it is great to be back. This
is truly one of my favorite things about coming back.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Year after year.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You and I get to sit down for about an hour,
hang out, talk comics, talk pop culture.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
It's just fantastic and it's always new.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
When I say it's always new It feels like we
haven't talked about it before, but in talking about it,
I think it's always good to remind people Comic Con
Revolution serves a specific audience, no pun intended, but we're
talking about the Inland Empire where people historically customarily may
not have thought about that being a gathering point.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Absolutely, which is also one of the reasons that Comic
Con Revolution was born in the England Empire. We were
looking eight years ago for a spot to do a show,
and you know, we had to find a location that
was under serviced. We had to find a location that
had a building. We had to find a location that
had lots of people. We also had to then find
(01:57):
a weekend that worked no other regional cons. It all
magically came together this weekend before Memorial Day at the
Ontario Convention Center in the Inland Empire. And you know,
this started as a one day show in twenty seventeen.
We had a few thousand people show up. Now we're
in year eight. The whole building is going to be
(02:18):
jam packed. There's going to be, you know, tens of
thousands of people there. It's going to be just a
tremendous tremendous weekend. You told some of the story, you
didn't tell all the stories. We've talked many times over
the year, but I remember talking about the impact of
the pandemic on comic cob Revolution and how, quite frankly,
you might not have made it to year eight.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It was definitely touch and go, I mean with everybody,
especially in the events bass. We came out here in March.
I mean we were actually in the air when the
whole world shut down on March twelfth or whatever it
was of twenty twenty. I fell asleep. My partner's waken
me up, screaming at me, dude, dude, We're gonna be
stuck in California forever. The world is shutting down.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Sports is over.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They canceled the NTAA storming. This literally all happened while
we were in the air and having no idea, I said,
how long can this last? We're going to have the
show in May? What are you guys kidding me? Obviously
we did not. We buckled down, we contracted, we made
every move we could to make sure we were still
(03:24):
going to exist, and then in December of twenty one,
we were the first show back anywhere to have a
post pandemic comic con, and people were so excited and
just chomping at the bit to be back, to be out,
to be doing the thing again.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I know there are people who are listening and that
now people who are watching by YouTube and Instagram who've
never been to any con, any convention. How would you
explain to them the joy, the allure, the experience. So
the experience is the way we do.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It is a family friendly comic con convention, pop culture event.
We keep it as non risque as possible. We tell
our cause players, which are the people who dress up.
I think before you dress up. We do want everyone
to feel comfortable when they're walking around the floor. We
offer kids twelve and under free admission with a paid
(04:20):
adult ticket, So again we understand what's going on in
the world and that these little things can help a lot.
But if you've never been to a comic convention, why
come to this one. Well, we have a tremendous guest list,
which is being spearheaded by a small villcast reunion.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I mean you super yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I told you we were going to do better than
last year, and I had to deliver. Tom Welling is coming.
You can't have a small Ville union. We have Superman,
all right, Erica Durance, Lois Lane is coming, Michael Rosenbaum,
the Evil Lex Luthor, Jonathan Kent, John Schneider. Uh, They're
all coming out. They're going to be hosting a panel,
they're going to be doing photo ops, they're going to
(04:59):
be sign and autographs. And for me, this is a
personal one because I was a huge fan of the show.
When you have one Superman, you can't not have another.
Brandon Routh is also coming, So in addition to Tom
being there, if you're a Superman, yeah, if you're a
big Superman guy, you can meet both of them, take
a photo op with both of them.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
So that's top level stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You know. If you are an avid comic collector, we're
going to have Mark Bagley's going to be there, Chris
Pacala is going to be there. Ron Limmy is going
to be there. You know, you kind of name it.
If you have never been to a con before, why
come to this. It's a great fun pop culture event.
Maybe you're a video game fan. We've got Nolan North,
(05:43):
who was Nathan Drake and Uncharted. Everyone's heard of Halo.
You've got master Chief. Steve Downs would be there, his
AI companion in All the Games, Cortana Jen Taylor is
going to be there. If that doesn't float your boat,
maybe you're a big wrestling fan. Booker t is going
to be there. What mc foley's going to be there,
Mickey James is going to be there. Soray is going
(06:04):
to be there. So these are all w W e
Icon's legends. Hall it Ernie Hudson's going to be there,
three hundred film and television credits. The guy just Ghostbusters. Yeah, listen,
he was, but he was in so much more. I've
seen some stuff will turn you white. We have if
(06:25):
you're just a cartoon person, an anime person. We've got
the cast reunion of Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go
h Phineas and ferb is coming back. So we had
Perry the Platypus last year, de Bradley Baker. This year,
we're bringing the boys in, Vincent and David.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And you can see this on our YouTube cyblecast. Right
now we're scrolling all the guests, which are who are
going to be at Comic Com Revolution.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, I saw Rachel Lee Cook's going to be there.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Oh boy, Rachel and Tower are going to be doing
a little Josie and the Pussycats kind of reunion, which
you'll be fun, you know. So like I said, there's
all that aspects of it. And then we have programming
throughout the whole weekend, and yeah, you can hear the
celebs talk about the shows they were on. Or if
you are into cosplaying, you know how to cosplay, how
(07:14):
to make your costumes better, how to do this if
you want. If you're an artist and you want to
learn how to get your books looked at or how
to get your portfolio, there's going to be stuff about that.
We have a big cosplay contest on Saturday night for
all the adults, and we have one on Sunday afternoon
just for the kids, so you know, everyone's not you know,
competing for one prize, the big grand prize. This year,
in addition to our Championship Belt which we give out
(07:37):
every year. Uh, we partnered with I Fly and we're
going to give it away the flying experiences, so it
kind of you know, addresses a superhero, become a superhero,
learn how to fly. We have Starcars coming, so if
you know you want to see Kit or the general
Lee or the ECDO one. They're all going to be
parked outside, which are characters in and of themselves. Absolutely,
(07:59):
I'm iconic vehicles. I mean the generally is certainly an
iconic vehicle. Kit bumblebee again, all of it. If you
really just want to come there and not do any
of that, we're gonna have a ton of food trucks.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
So just come and eat. That sounds good enough sometimes.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, So, like I said, it's it's really it's got
something for everybody. And I know that's such an overused
cliche statement, but it really does. And if you're a
novice and you've never been to one, it's it's not
gonna be overwhelming. It's gonna be enough of an intimate
setting and enough room for you to not feel like
this is ridiculous. I don't know what I'm doing here.
You can just walk around people watch and explore. If
(08:35):
you need to get your books graded, we're gonna have
SWAU there authenticating. We're gonna have CGC. You're gonna be
able to get your book CDC graded and sent them
out if you want. You know, we have high end
comic dealers. We've got uh Funko pop dealers. We've got
toy dealers, a huge artists. Dolly, there's just so much
to do.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I hate to jump in there because we've gotten everyone
all riled up now and I said, we're gonna be
giving away some passes.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Do you want to give it some now or some later?
Or do none now and all later.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Listen, it's you, it's yours. The name of the show
is Later with Mo Kelly. You tell me you're good.
Let's do some now. How many pairs you want to
give away?
Speaker 4 (09:13):

Caller five six and seven.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You and a guest will be going to Comic Con
Revolution this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth at the Ontario
Convention Center. We'll have more with Drew Selden and more
about Comic Con Revolution in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's later with Mo Kelly. We're talking about Comic Con Revolution,
which is this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth at the
Ontario Con Center. And if you want to get tickets,
you don't have to wait for us. You can go
to Comic Conrevolution dot com right now. But while you're
doing that, you can also listen to me and Drew
Selden as we talk about Comic Con Revolution, and Drew,
(10:15):
I just let you kind of go there because you
can tell us about it better than anyone. And I
did want to get in a way, but I'm quite
sure you see all ages. Some people have this perception
of cons It's only for thirty five year old geeks
and nerds who have no life. It's not a family event.
And I want to disabuse, disabuse people of that notion.
(10:37):
Oh definitely, we listen. I'm here. My daughter's in the
room with me, so I am your.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Daughter's grown up in this studio.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
She has actually she just graduated college, so congratulations to her.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yes she did. I remember if she was yay hi
to a GRASSHOPPERA that was last year.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But she's but no, it so again, and my partners were,
we're all family men, and it's an important aspect. Being
able to do stuff with your kids. If you know
the world allows for it and you know it's something
you can do, is amazing. We like to put on
a show that again, is not just for the hardcore
(11:14):
comic collector. It's for anyone who wants to come out
and experience something either new or something that they love.
And if you can bring your kids for free if
they're twelve and under, it listen, if you if you
buy an adult ticket, you can bring your kids twelve
and under for free, so it makes it more affordable
and and spend the money on the show floor, you know,
get them that superhero T shirt they want, Get them
(11:36):
you know that pop figure that they want, Let them
have an autograph with somebody or a photo op. I
mean that that's amazing. You know, those are core memories.
That's the kind of stuff that you know you want
to take with you when you leave there.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
So it's it's again.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But if you are a hardcore, we've got plenty of
stuff there that's going to keep you busy as well,
whether it's the comic artist getting your book signed, whether
you've got stuff that you need to get a praise
and you know, sell buy.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
If you've never been to one again, it's it's a
it could be a great first time to experience it
because you're going to get everything a big con has
to offer at a more intimate setting.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
How has it, and this is a semi personal question,
how has Comic Con Revolution impacted your relationship with your daughter?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I think I know, but I want to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Well, I turned her into a geek, so I apologize
for that, but she she has far surpassed me in
so many ways, whether it's gaming or her knowledge of stuff.
And to be honest with you, I I often bounced
guest ideas off of her because she definitely has her
finger on the pulse of things. So it's it's a
it's something we share a love for all aspects of it.
(12:45):
And again I asked her and I brought some of
her friends out as well to work last year, because
again they're they're they're the future of the business, my
customer base, of the whole thing, so it's great to
get real feedback.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I love this success story. That's my phraseology because it
wasn't supposed to be. If you looked at it from
thirty thousand feet up, as the cliche goes, you would think, okay, well,
it's not Memorial Day weekend, so it's not a high
traffic weekend. It's not in San Diego or La, it's
not in the big city per se. There's nothing to
(13:22):
where a person could point to and say that's going
to survive or that's going to be successful. Then you
throw in the pandemic. Everything was working against you on paper.
So that's why I'm so appreciative of this success story.
Looking back, though, is there anything you would do differently?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Well, the whole reason that my partners Mike James and
I started Comic Con Revolution was because we did want
to do something differently. We all met working for other people,
putting on their cons, and you know, everybody who works
for somebody always says, well, you know, if I was
doing it and I was in charge, I would do this.
That's why I'm doing radio No exactly right, And that's
(13:59):
really where the ideas them from. There were so many
things that we wanted to do our way, and whether
they were right or wrong, they were our way, and
we've refined them over the last you know, eight years
because some of them, unfortunately were not the right way.
But but you you know, you live and learn, and
Comic Con Revolution is a love letter to the industry,
to pop culture, to the creators, to the artists, to
(14:21):
the storytellers because of how much joy they bring to everybody.
So that's that's, that's part of what the whole show
is about.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Comic Con Revolution is this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth
at the Ontario Convention Center in the Ie. You want
your tickets, got to get them right now for the

Speaker 2 (15:08):
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, YouTube, and Instagram.
At mister Mokelly on YouTube and Instagram if you want
to see the show right now. In the middle of
a conversation with Drew Seldon, as we talk about Comic
Con Revolution, which is coming to the Ontario Convention Center
this weekend the seventeenth and eighteenth, we went over the
amazing guest appearances which are scheduled cast reunions, talking about
(15:32):
the Smallville cast reunion, which I think might be at
the top of everyone's list, and Drew, I don't know
if there's anyone who enjoys what he does more than you,
with the exception to me, I think I got the
best job in the world.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You might be a close second.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well, thank you, But as I always tell everybody, we
certainly don't do this for the money because with you know,
most passion things, there isn't any We love this and
it's a way to bring what we love to everybody
else who loves it as well. You know, the first
part of the word fanatic is fan and bringing them
(16:10):
out to get to meet somebody who idolize their work
that you love their TV show. You know, you think
I invested you get in a series that runs for
ten years or a series that runs for four years,
or a movie that you just can't stop watching on
whether it's Netflix or you know, streaming whatever streaming service,
(16:30):
and the idea that you get to have that moment
where you get to tell them and they look at
you and they smile and they thank you for being
a fan, because they all do it. I mean they
this the people who come to these shows, the celebrities,
the talent, the artists, the voice actors, the you know,
the movie stars, the TV stars. They come because think
(16:51):
about being able to meet people who appreciate you and
what you did for them. You know, again, it was
a TV show ran for however long, so like I said,
it's a special moment and to be able to help
facilitate that is awesome.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
But when you talk about a TV show, you're talking
about something or somebody who was allowed into your home.
You spent time with, even though it might have only
been in one direction. You spent time with the person.
You might have been going through a breakup, but that
was your comfort food, watching that show or watching that
movie over and over again, and they become like family
(17:24):
members in a certain way.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
As weird as it may sound.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
No, it's one hundred percent, or maybe you're cheering for
your favorite wrestler like Booker t. Yes, you know, you
never know, but yes, the idea of that is something.
And maybe a certain episode got you through a rough patch,
like you were saying, you know, your dog was sick
that day, and you watched your show and it gave
you a laugh, and it gave you that escape for
the hour. Again, that's not something that you can take lightly,
(17:50):
because we all need it.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And it stays with us for life, as evidence by
the continuous connection we have with these shows, these actors,
these memories. I mean, we all love nostalgia, but it's
not just anything that is in our past.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
It's specific things which touch us in a certain way.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Definitely, and and and even this is why also we
do family stuff, and there's just a full on spectrum
of there's stuff for mom, there's stuff for dad. There's
stuff for little Joey and little Susie and and the
whole thing. So again, whether it's the cartoon that your
kids watched incessantly over and over again while they were
growing up and now they still take it with them,
(18:28):
or again, your favorite show or a comic book you
read back in you know, the early two thousands that
the yes, well you and I go back, but not
everybody goes that about but you know, and you're gonna
get to meet the person who wrote it and say
to them, Hey, I read this book so many times
and for this reason, it's stuck with me. And like,
(18:50):
there's a Marv Wolfman is going to be there. And
Marv Wolfman worked on a storyline that read did the
DC Universe when when the Infinite Crisis stories and he
was part of a book and the cover sticks with
me today. And this cover was done in the eighties
and it's Superman holding a dead Supergirl with all the
(19:11):
heroes in the background from all across the multiverse, and
it's something that it's such an iconic image to me,
and it's forty years old, but whenever I see it,
it takes me back. It makes me think, I pause,
I look at it for a second, and like I said,
it's just things like that happen at these shows, and
there's so many elements to it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
One more time before we let you go. How can
people get their tickets? Where can they get their tickets?
And what is the advantage of maybe buying an adult ticket? Sure,
so comic conrevolution dot com. Get your tickets, You can
look at all the programming, you could set your weekend schedule.
You can order autographs in advance, you can arrange your
photo ops in advance. You can also do all of
that on site of the advance in advance. You can
(19:53):
also do all of that on site at the show.
If you do buy an adult ticket again, as we mentioned,
you get twelve and under children in for free. What
else is on there?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
All the information related to everything that's going on that weekend,
whether it's signing up for the cosplay contest because you
want to strut your stuff across the stage, or if
you just want to go and watch. You know you're
you're looking to again, set your full on schedule. I
want to make sure I hit the Smallville panel. My
kids want to make sure they hit the Phineas and
Third panel. We also want That's kind of important.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Because you will lose stuff, get lost in the in
the calendar, and you may miss some stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Right, and you don't want to and again you don't
want to say to yourself, oh, I can't believe we
were walking the floor and we missed this panel. So
look at it. It's all there everything's on Comic Conrevolution
dot com. You can map out your entire weekend of fun.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Too, Selden.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I know that you've impressed some people in this studio,
which we're trying to make sure that she gets there
this weekend, and I know that you have changed people's
plans for this weekend. They're going to make sure that
they are at Comic Con Revolution, which is this weekend
May seventeenth and eighteenth at the Ontario Convention Center in
the heart of the Ie the Inland Empire.

Good evening, sir, Well you've got listeners coming from all

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Not a job, I'll tell you, not at all.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
On the show tonight, we're going to talk about Kem
Trails and then the wonders of the universe on Coast
to Coast and.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I'll be tuning in on the way home without a
doubt one of the favorites.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Thank you, bye, And from my final thought of the week,
I hope I did this right, but I've been thinking
about it all week long. There are some things you
just can't get back. There are some places in which
you won't be able to return from. Sometimes you can
(22:38):
go too far and there's no finding your way back.
I believe that's where we are as a nation politically.
Here's an example a Democratic candidate for Virginia's House of Delegates,
announced over the weekend that she and her husband wait
for it, wait for it, they're swingers. Yvonne Rohr explained
(23:02):
Saturday that she wanted to reveal something that she thought
could be used against her, that she and her husband
of twenty two years, even though they're deeply committed in love,
they consider themselves to be ethically non monogamous.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Yes, swingers.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I don't know why they want to call it ethically
non monogamous, but they get around. Quote Our lifestyle choice
mostly includes consensually dating other couples together and being part
of a vast and growing community of like minded people
close quote swingers first, Yvonne, it can't be used against
(23:41):
you because nothing matters anymore.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
We don't live in nineteen ninety three anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The sitting president of the United States just accepted a
four hundred million dollar bride in the form of a
goal plate at seven forty seven. That was accepted the
same news cycle as the Trump organization striking a five
point five billion dollar gaulf. Of course, a hotel deal
d near Kaitar in Katar. Weren't we supposedly concerned about
Hunter Biden peddling influence and making more than eleven million
(24:10):
dollars in connection to Bisma.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
That was just last year.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Eleven million is five thousand times less than five point
five billion mark check my math.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
But I'm pretty sure I'm right. Yeah, I keep going.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Please, But the point is nothing matters, not the Hatch Act,
not the Emolument's clause, and the Constitution. Not sex with
playboy models and porn stars. So why would being swingers
matter in twenty twenty five. Don't get me wrong, thank
you von Rohr for falling on your sword, I'll just
say sword and letting the voting public know the truth
(24:46):
about your pineapple sex life. I'm old enough to remember
when Billy Carter, the brother of President Jimmy Carter, was
hauled before Congress because of what he was doing in
Libya and Libya. Billy car Or visited Libya three times
with a contingent from Georgia. He eventually registered as a
foreign agent of the Libyan government and received two hundred
(25:10):
and twenty thousand dollars in the form of a loan,
and it was only some one thousand dollars repaid. Our
country went appoplectic over that of two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars loan, and he was the brother of the
sitting president. Now you can have Eric Trump just announced
his meme coin. We'll go public next week and it
should net him in the Trump organization billions of dollars.
(25:34):
Nothing matters anymore. There are some things you just can't
get back from. There's some places in which you can't
be who you won't be able to return from. Sometimes
you can go too far and there's no finding your
way back, because that's where we are.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Nothing matters.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
We had a president who used a cigar as a
sex object with an intern on the resolute desk. We
have a president presidently who is cheated on every wife,
all three of them. Don't try to tell me that
we care about morals or our political leaders ever. Again,
it's a lie. So no nobody cares about somebody running
(26:11):
for office who engages in group sex with strangers and
partner swaps. That well equipped horse wink wink left the
barn a long time ago, and it's not coming back.
Remember when Ronald Reagan was accused of arms trafficking to
Iran for five whole years of his eight years as president.
You know the Iran contra affair, and that was one
(26:31):
of the greatest scandals, arguably in presidential history. Well, two
days ago, our government just agreed to sell Saudi Arabia
one hundred and forty two billion dollars in arms, directly
out in the open, the same country responsible for the
murder of Jamal Kushogi, and the same country responsible on
some level for nine to eleven all facts, None of
(26:53):
it matters, not even a blip on the radar in
twenty twenty five. And speaking of Saudi Arabia and family
members of sitting president, it's either pedaling influenced or family
members of presidents benefiting. This is on the heels of
the country gifting Jerry Kushner and his company two billion dollars.
And everything I said is a fact, and nothing of
(27:14):
what I said matters anymore. There's no going back. And
I'm not even mad. I'm just pointing this out. This
is a true statement. This is not about Democrats or Republicans,
because none of it matters. If you're okay with a
four hundred billion dollar plane, don't talk to me about
eleven million to somebody's private citizen son.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I just want some consistency.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
We could have a future presidential candidate who is part
of Diddy's freak OFFFS. It will not matter because we
don't have standards anymore. We already have a felon as
a president. What's a sex trafficking and racketeering conviction. It's
just next door, maybe in the same yard. But here's
the point, you or we as a nation, can't delude
(27:56):
ourselves with belief of this supposed American exceptionalism when we
embrace not having any standards. You can't care about corruption
last year and then disregard it this year. You can't
care about the supposed sexual behavior of elected leaders last
(28:17):
year but not this year. Oh oh, getting ready to
step on some toes. You can't care about the cognitive
decline of a president last year. Say it with me,
but not this year? Question mark, I am Ron Burgundy.
It just means that nothing matters anymore, and there's no
(28:38):
coming back from that because standards require a leg to
stand on, and last I checked, we've run out of legs.
So von be proud that you're a pineapple princess. Nobody
freaking cares. In fact, it might help you win because
nothing matters for k I am six forty.

Comic Con Revolution returns this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth
at the Ontario Convention Center with amazing guest appearances and
cast reunions, legendary comic book creators, iconic voice actors, world
class photo ops at a curated mix of vendors and exhibitors.
(00:36):
There's nothing quite like Comic Con Revolution, and tickets for
the eighth annual Comic Con Revolution are on sale now.
You can go to Comic Conrevolution dot com. But joining
me in studio right now is the founder and creator
of Comic Con Revolution, Drew Selden. We welcome him back
to the show. Tell us about this Inland Empire's largest
(00:57):
comic and pop culture event ever.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Absolutely well again, it is great to be back. This
is truly one of my favorite things about coming back.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Year after year.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You and I get to sit down for about an hour,
hang out, talk comics, talk pop culture.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
It's just fantastic and it's always new.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
When I say it's always new It feels like we
haven't talked about it before, but in talking about it,
I think it's always good to remind people Comic Con
Revolution serves a specific audience, no pun intended, but we're
talking about the Inland Empire where people historically customarily may
not have thought about that being a gathering point.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Absolutely, which is also one of the reasons that Comic
Con Revolution was born in the England Empire. We were
looking eight years ago for a spot to do a show,
and you know, we had to find a location that
was under serviced. We had to find a location that
had a building. We had to find a location that
had lots of people. We also had to then find
(01:57):
a weekend that worked no other regional cons. It all
magically came together this weekend before Memorial Day at the
Ontario Convention Center in the Inland Empire. And you know,
this started as a one day show in twenty seventeen.
We had a few thousand people show up. Now we're
in year eight. The whole building is going to be
(02:18):
jam packed. There's going to be, you know, tens of
thousands of people there. It's going to be just a
tremendous tremendous weekend. You told some of the story, you
didn't tell all the stories. We've talked many times over
the year, but I remember talking about the impact of
the pandemic on comic cob Revolution and how, quite frankly,
you might not have made it to year eight.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It was definitely touch and go, I mean with everybody,
especially in the events bass. We came out here in March.
I mean we were actually in the air when the
whole world shut down on March twelfth or whatever it
was of twenty twenty. I fell asleep. My partner's waken
me up, screaming at me, dude, dude, We're gonna be
stuck in California forever. The world is shutting down.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Sports is over.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They canceled the NTAA storming. This literally all happened while
we were in the air and having no idea, I said,
how long can this last? We're going to have the
show in May? What are you guys kidding me? Obviously
we did not. We buckled down, we contracted, we made
every move we could to make sure we were still
(03:24):
going to exist, and then in December of twenty one,
we were the first show back anywhere to have a
post pandemic comic con, and people were so excited and
just chomping at the bit to be back, to be out,
to be doing the thing again.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I know there are people who are listening and that
now people who are watching by YouTube and Instagram who've
never been to any con, any convention. How would you
explain to them the joy, the allure, the experience. So
the experience is the way we do.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It is a family friendly comic con convention, pop culture event.
We keep it as non risque as possible. We tell
our cause players, which are the people who dress up.
I think before you dress up. We do want everyone
to feel comfortable when they're walking around the floor. We
offer kids twelve and under free admission with a paid
(04:20):
adult ticket, So again we understand what's going on in
the world and that these little things can help a lot.
But if you've never been to a comic convention, why
come to this one. Well, we have a tremendous guest list,
which is being spearheaded by a small villcast reunion.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I mean you super yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I told you we were going to do better than
last year, and I had to deliver. Tom Welling is coming.
You can't have a small Ville union. We have Superman,
all right, Erica Durance, Lois Lane is coming, Michael Rosenbaum,
the Evil Lex Luthor, Jonathan Kent, John Schneider. Uh, They're
all coming out. They're going to be hosting a panel,
they're going to be doing photo ops, they're going to
(04:59):
be sign and autographs. And for me, this is a
personal one because I was a huge fan of the show.
When you have one Superman, you can't not have another.
Brandon Routh is also coming, So in addition to Tom
being there, if you're a Superman, yeah, if you're a
big Superman guy, you can meet both of them, take
a photo op with both of them.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
So that's top level stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You know. If you are an avid comic collector, we're
going to have Mark Bagley's going to be there, Chris
Pacala is going to be there. Ron Limmy is going
to be there. You know, you kind of name it.
If you have never been to a con before, why
come to this. It's a great fun pop culture event.
Maybe you're a video game fan. We've got Nolan North,
(05:43):
who was Nathan Drake and Uncharted. Everyone's heard of Halo.
You've got master Chief. Steve Downs would be there, his
AI companion in All the Games, Cortana Jen Taylor is
going to be there. If that doesn't float your boat,
maybe you're a big wrestling fan. Booker t is going
to be there. What mc foley's going to be there,
Mickey James is going to be there. Soray is going
(06:04):
to be there. So these are all w W e
Icon's legends. Hall it Ernie Hudson's going to be there,
three hundred film and television credits. The guy just Ghostbusters. Yeah, listen,
he was, but he was in so much more. I've
seen some stuff will turn you white. We have if
(06:25):
you're just a cartoon person, an anime person. We've got
the cast reunion of Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go
h Phineas and ferb is coming back. So we had
Perry the Platypus last year, de Bradley Baker. This year,
we're bringing the boys in, Vincent and David.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And you can see this on our YouTube cyblecast. Right
now we're scrolling all the guests, which are who are
going to be at Comic Com Revolution.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, I saw Rachel Lee Cook's going to be there.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Oh boy, Rachel and Tower are going to be doing
a little Josie and the Pussycats kind of reunion, which
you'll be fun, you know. So like I said, there's
all that aspects of it. And then we have programming
throughout the whole weekend, and yeah, you can hear the
celebs talk about the shows they were on. Or if
you are into cosplaying, you know how to cosplay, how
(07:14):
to make your costumes better, how to do this if
you want. If you're an artist and you want to
learn how to get your books looked at or how
to get your portfolio, there's going to be stuff about that.
We have a big cosplay contest on Saturday night for
all the adults, and we have one on Sunday afternoon
just for the kids, so you know, everyone's not you know,
competing for one prize, the big grand prize. This year,
in addition to our Championship Belt which we give out
(07:37):
every year. Uh, we partnered with I Fly and we're
going to give it away the flying experiences, so it
kind of you know, addresses a superhero, become a superhero,
learn how to fly. We have Starcars coming, so if
you know you want to see Kit or the general
Lee or the ECDO one. They're all going to be
parked outside, which are characters in and of themselves. Absolutely,
(07:59):
I'm iconic vehicles. I mean the generally is certainly an
iconic vehicle. Kit bumblebee again, all of it. If you
really just want to come there and not do any
of that, we're gonna have a ton of food trucks.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
So just come and eat. That sounds good enough sometimes.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, So, like I said, it's it's really it's got
something for everybody. And I know that's such an overused
cliche statement, but it really does. And if you're a
novice and you've never been to one, it's it's not
gonna be overwhelming. It's gonna be enough of an intimate
setting and enough room for you to not feel like
this is ridiculous. I don't know what I'm doing here.
You can just walk around people watch and explore. If
(08:35):
you need to get your books graded, we're gonna have
SWAU there authenticating. We're gonna have CGC. You're gonna be
able to get your book CDC graded and sent them
out if you want. You know, we have high end
comic dealers. We've got uh Funko pop dealers. We've got
toy dealers, a huge artists. Dolly, there's just so much
to do.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I hate to jump in there because we've gotten everyone
all riled up now and I said, we're gonna be
giving away some passes.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Do you want to give it some now or some later?
Or do none now and all later.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Listen, it's you, it's yours. The name of the show
is Later with Mo Kelly. You tell me you're good.
Let's do some now. How many pairs you want to
give away?
Speaker 4 (09:13):

three pairs, three pairs? Okay? Ok.
Speaker 2 (09:18):

Caller five six and seven.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You and a guest will be going to Comic Con
Revolution this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth at the Ontario
Convention Center. We'll have more with Drew Selden and more
about Comic Con Revolution in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's later with Mo Kelly. We're talking about Comic Con Revolution,
which is this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth at the
Ontario Con Center. And if you want to get tickets,
you don't have to wait for us. You can go
to Comic Conrevolution dot com right now. But while you're
doing that, you can also listen to me and Drew
Selden as we talk about Comic Con Revolution, and Drew,
(10:15):
I just let you kind of go there because you
can tell us about it better than anyone. And I
did want to get in a way, but I'm quite
sure you see all ages. Some people have this perception
of cons It's only for thirty five year old geeks
and nerds who have no life. It's not a family event.
And I want to disabuse, disabuse people of that notion.
(10:37):
Oh definitely, we listen. I'm here. My daughter's in the
room with me, so I am your.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Daughter's grown up in this studio.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
She has actually she just graduated college, so congratulations to her.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yes she did. I remember if she was yay hi
to a GRASSHOPPERA that was last year.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But she's but no, it so again, and my partners were,
we're all family men, and it's an important aspect. Being
able to do stuff with your kids. If you know
the world allows for it and you know it's something
you can do, is amazing. We like to put on
a show that again, is not just for the hardcore
(11:14):
comic collector. It's for anyone who wants to come out
and experience something either new or something that they love.
And if you can bring your kids for free if
they're twelve and under, it listen, if you if you
buy an adult ticket, you can bring your kids twelve
and under for free, so it makes it more affordable
and and spend the money on the show floor, you know,
get them that superhero T shirt they want, Get them
(11:36):
you know that pop figure that they want, Let them
have an autograph with somebody or a photo op. I
mean that that's amazing. You know, those are core memories.
That's the kind of stuff that you know you want
to take with you when you leave there.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
So it's it's again.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But if you are a hardcore, we've got plenty of
stuff there that's going to keep you busy as well,
whether it's the comic artist getting your book signed, whether
you've got stuff that you need to get a praise
and you know, sell buy.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
If you've never been to one again, it's it's a
it could be a great first time to experience it
because you're going to get everything a big con has
to offer at a more intimate setting.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
How has it, and this is a semi personal question,
how has Comic Con Revolution impacted your relationship with your daughter?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I think I know, but I want to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Well, I turned her into a geek, so I apologize
for that, but she she has far surpassed me in
so many ways, whether it's gaming or her knowledge of stuff.
And to be honest with you, I I often bounced
guest ideas off of her because she definitely has her
finger on the pulse of things. So it's it's a
it's something we share a love for all aspects of it.
(12:45):
And again I asked her and I brought some of
her friends out as well to work last year, because
again they're they're they're the future of the business, my
customer base, of the whole thing, so it's great to
get real feedback.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I love this success story. That's my phraseology because it
wasn't supposed to be. If you looked at it from
thirty thousand feet up, as the cliche goes, you would think, okay, well,
it's not Memorial Day weekend, so it's not a high
traffic weekend. It's not in San Diego or La, it's
not in the big city per se. There's nothing to
(13:22):
where a person could point to and say that's going
to survive or that's going to be successful. Then you
throw in the pandemic. Everything was working against you on paper.
So that's why I'm so appreciative of this success story.
Looking back, though, is there anything you would do differently?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Well, the whole reason that my partners Mike James and
I started Comic Con Revolution was because we did want
to do something differently. We all met working for other people,
putting on their cons, and you know, everybody who works
for somebody always says, well, you know, if I was
doing it and I was in charge, I would do this.
That's why I'm doing radio No exactly right, And that's
(13:59):
really where the ideas them from. There were so many
things that we wanted to do our way, and whether
they were right or wrong, they were our way, and
we've refined them over the last you know, eight years
because some of them, unfortunately were not the right way.
But but you you know, you live and learn, and
Comic Con Revolution is a love letter to the industry,
to pop culture, to the creators, to the artists, to
(14:21):
the storytellers because of how much joy they bring to everybody.
So that's that's, that's part of what the whole show
is about.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Comic Con Revolution is this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth

We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, YouTube, and Instagram.
At mister Mokelly on YouTube and Instagram if you want
to see the show right now. In the middle of
a conversation with Drew Seldon, as we talk about Comic
Con Revolution, which is coming to the Ontario Convention Center
this weekend the seventeenth and eighteenth, we went over the
amazing guest appearances which are scheduled cast reunions, talking about
(15:32):
the Smallville cast reunion, which I think might be at
the top of everyone's list, and Drew, I don't know
if there's anyone who enjoys what he does more than you,
with the exception to me, I think I got the
best job in the world.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You might be a close second.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well, thank you, But as I always tell everybody, we
certainly don't do this for the money because with you know,
most passion things, there isn't any We love this and
it's a way to bring what we love to everybody
else who loves it as well. You know, the first
part of the word fanatic is fan and bringing them
(16:10):
out to get to meet somebody who idolize their work
that you love their TV show. You know, you think
I invested you get in a series that runs for
ten years or a series that runs for four years,
or a movie that you just can't stop watching on
whether it's Netflix or you know, streaming whatever streaming service,
(16:30):
and the idea that you get to have that moment
where you get to tell them and they look at
you and they smile and they thank you for being
a fan, because they all do it. I mean they
this the people who come to these shows, the celebrities,
the talent, the artists, the voice actors, the you know,
the movie stars, the TV stars. They come because think
(16:51):
about being able to meet people who appreciate you and
what you did for them. You know, again, it was
a TV show ran for however long, so like I said,
it's a special moment and to be able to help
facilitate that is awesome.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
But when you talk about a TV show, you're talking
about something or somebody who was allowed into your home.
You spent time with, even though it might have only
been in one direction. You spent time with the person.
You might have been going through a breakup, but that
was your comfort food, watching that show or watching that
movie over and over again, and they become like family
(17:24):
members in a certain way.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
As weird as it may sound.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
No, it's one hundred percent, or maybe you're cheering for
your favorite wrestler like Booker t. Yes, you know, you
never know, but yes, the idea of that is something.
And maybe a certain episode got you through a rough patch,
like you were saying, you know, your dog was sick
that day, and you watched your show and it gave
you a laugh, and it gave you that escape for
the hour. Again, that's not something that you can take lightly,
(17:50):
because we all need it.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And it stays with us for life, as evidence by
the continuous connection we have with these shows, these actors,
these memories. I mean, we all love nostalgia, but it's
not just anything that is in our past.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
It's specific things which touch us in a certain way.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Definitely, and and and even this is why also we
do family stuff, and there's just a full on spectrum
of there's stuff for mom, there's stuff for dad. There's
stuff for little Joey and little Susie and and the
whole thing. So again, whether it's the cartoon that your
kids watched incessantly over and over again while they were
growing up and now they still take it with them,
(18:28):
or again, your favorite show or a comic book you
read back in you know, the early two thousands that
the yes, well you and I go back, but not
everybody goes that about but you know, and you're gonna
get to meet the person who wrote it and say
to them, Hey, I read this book so many times
and for this reason, it's stuck with me. And like,
(18:50):
there's a Marv Wolfman is going to be there. And
Marv Wolfman worked on a storyline that read did the
DC Universe when when the Infinite Crisis stories and he
was part of a book and the cover sticks with
me today. And this cover was done in the eighties
and it's Superman holding a dead Supergirl with all the
(19:11):
heroes in the background from all across the multiverse, and
it's something that it's such an iconic image to me,
and it's forty years old, but whenever I see it,
it takes me back. It makes me think, I pause,
I look at it for a second, and like I said,
it's just things like that happen at these shows, and
there's so many elements to it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
One more time before we let you go. How can
people get their tickets? Where can they get their tickets?
And what is the advantage of maybe buying an adult ticket? Sure,
so comic conrevolution dot com. Get your tickets, You can
look at all the programming, you could set your weekend schedule.
You can order autographs in advance, you can arrange your
photo ops in advance. You can also do all of
that on site of the advance in advance. You can
(19:53):
also do all of that on site at the show.
If you do buy an adult ticket again, as we mentioned,
you get twelve and under children in for free. What
else is on there?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
All the information related to everything that's going on that weekend,
whether it's signing up for the cosplay contest because you
want to strut your stuff across the stage, or if
you just want to go and watch. You know you're
you're looking to again, set your full on schedule. I
want to make sure I hit the Smallville panel. My
kids want to make sure they hit the Phineas and
Third panel. We also want That's kind of important.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Because you will lose stuff, get lost in the in
the calendar, and you may miss some stuff.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
I'll be tuning in on the way home without a
doubt one of the favorites.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Thank you, bye, And from my final thought of the week,
I hope I did this right, but I've been thinking
about it all week long. There are some things you
just can't get back. There are some places in which
you won't be able to return from. Sometimes you can
(22:38):
go too far and there's no finding your way back.
I believe that's where we are as a nation politically.
Here's an example a Democratic candidate for Virginia's House of Delegates,
announced over the weekend that she and her husband wait
for it, wait for it, they're swingers. Yvonne Rohr explained
(23:02):
Saturday that she wanted to reveal something that she thought
could be used against her, that she and her husband
of twenty two years, even though they're deeply committed in love,
they consider themselves to be ethically non monogamous.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Yes, swingers.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I don't know why they want to call it ethically
non monogamous, but they get around. Quote Our lifestyle choice
mostly includes consensually dating other couples together and being part
of a vast and growing community of like minded people
close quote swingers first, Yvonne, it can't be used against
(23:41):
you because nothing matters anymore.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
We don't live in nineteen ninety three anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The sitting president of the United States just accepted a
four hundred million dollar bride in the form of a
goal plate at seven forty seven. That was accepted the
same news cycle as the Trump organization striking a five
point five billion dollar gaulf. Of course, a hotel deal
d near Kaitar in Katar. Weren't we supposedly concerned about
Hunter Biden peddling influence and making more than eleven million
(24:10):
dollars in connection to Bisma.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
That was just last year.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Eleven million is five thousand times less than five point
five billion mark check my math.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
But I'm pretty sure I'm right. Yeah, I keep going.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Please, But the point is nothing matters, not the Hatch Act,
not the Emolument's clause, and the Constitution. Not sex with
playboy models and porn stars. So why would being swingers
matter in twenty twenty five. Don't get me wrong, thank
you von Rohr for falling on your sword, I'll just
say sword and letting the voting public know the truth
(24:46):
about your pineapple sex life. I'm old enough to remember
when Billy Carter, the brother of President Jimmy Carter, was
hauled before Congress because of what he was doing in
Libya and Libya. Billy car Or visited Libya three times
with a contingent from Georgia. He eventually registered as a
foreign agent of the Libyan government and received two hundred
(25:10):
and twenty thousand dollars in the form of a loan,
and it was only some one thousand dollars repaid. Our
country went appoplectic over that of two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars loan, and he was the brother of the
sitting president. Now you can have Eric Trump just announced
his meme coin. We'll go public next week and it
should net him in the Trump organization billions of dollars.
(25:34):
Nothing matters anymore. There are some things you just can't
get back from. There's some places in which you can't
be who you won't be able to return from. Sometimes
you can go too far and there's no finding your
way back, because that's where we are.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Nothing matters.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
We had a president who used a cigar as a
sex object with an intern on the resolute desk. We
have a president presidently who is cheated on every wife,
all three of them. Don't try to tell me that
we care about morals or our political leaders ever. Again,
it's a lie. So no nobody cares about somebody running
(26:11):
for office who engages in group sex with strangers and
partner swaps. That well equipped horse wink wink left the
barn a long time ago, and it's not coming back.
Remember when Ronald Reagan was accused of arms trafficking to
Iran for five whole years of his eight years as president.
You know the Iran contra affair, and that was one
(26:31):
of the greatest scandals, arguably in presidential history. Well, two
days ago, our government just agreed to sell Saudi Arabia
one hundred and forty two billion dollars in arms, directly
out in the open, the same country responsible for the
murder of Jamal Kushogi, and the same country responsible on
some level for nine to eleven all facts, None of
(26:53):
it matters, not even a blip on the radar in
twenty twenty five. And speaking of Saudi Arabia and family
members of sitting president, it's either pedaling influenced or family
members of presidents benefiting. This is on the heels of
the country gifting Jerry Kushner and his company two billion dollars.
And everything I said is a fact, and nothing of
(27:14):
what I said matters anymore. There's no going back. And
I'm not even mad. I'm just pointing this out. This
is a true statement. This is not about Democrats or Republicans,
because none of it matters. If you're okay with a
four hundred billion dollar plane, don't talk to me about
eleven million to somebody's private citizen son.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I just want some consistency.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
We could have a future presidential candidate who is part
of Diddy's freak OFFFS. It will not matter because we
don't have standards anymore. We already have a felon as
a president. What's a sex trafficking and racketeering conviction. It's
just next door, maybe in the same yard. But here's
the point, you or we as a nation, can't delude
(27:56):
ourselves with belief of this supposed American exceptionalism when we
embrace not having any standards. You can't care about corruption
last year and then disregard it this year. You can't
care about the supposed sexual behavior of elected leaders last
(28:17):
year but not this year. Oh oh, getting ready to
step on some toes. You can't care about the cognitive
decline of a president last year. Say it with me,
but not this year? Question mark, I am Ron Burgundy.
It just means that nothing matters anymore, and there's no
(28:38):
coming back from that because standards require a leg to
stand on, and last I checked, we've run out of legs.
So von be proud that you're a pineapple princess. Nobody
freaking cares. In fact, it might help you win because
nothing matters for k I am six forty.
