ACE Comic Con Postpones its March Convention in Boston

Posted on by
ACE Comic Con

ACE Comic Con has announced that they are postponing ACE Comic Con Northeast which was to take place March 20-22 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

Due to a State of Emergency being called in Massachusetts, the convention had determined that the scheduled date was “not possible.”

The convention is attempting to reschedule its event for a later date and their October convention is still going on as planned.

You can read their full statement below.

To our valued fans, friends, and partners,

ACE Comic Con is an extended family. We feel like we know each one of you personally, and as much as we make you feel welcome into our lives a few times a year, you have been gracious in return. Yesterday, a State of Emergency was called in Massachusetts, and after many hours of consultation with the BCEC, a city owned facility, it was determined that running the event at its regularly scheduled date/time is not possible due to “force majeure.” We are working with the BCEC to reschedule the event, and we will do our best to bring ACE Comic Con Northeast back to Boston Strong!

We feel for anyone and everyone affected by the COVID-19 virus. Stakeholders in events like these include the fans, hotel employees, airline workers, city and state officials, security firms, car services, caterers, union workers and hundreds of hundreds of workers that put months and months of sweat and hard work into pulling these events off, our own staff included. We hope everyone stays safe and healthy, and to those already ill, we wish a speedy recovery.

Due to the volume, we expect you will receive your full refund within 30 days. We appreciate your patience and understanding. ACE Comic Con remains committed to its next event scheduled at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center on October 16-18, 2020. As we have done in the past, the goal is to provide you the greatest event ever, run by people who are as passionate about you! At ACE, you don’t just meet your heroes, you meet your superheroes! And we want to provide you with the absolute best experience you’ve come to enjoy. Please be thoughtful and understanding when posting on social media. Kindness in these times is invaluable.

Thank you and see you in October!

Warmest Regards,

The ACE Team

Coyotes Cancel Stan Lee Puck Drop. Will Comic Industry Follow?

Posted on by

The Arizona Coyotes have cancelled Stan Lee‘s appearance that was to take place today in their game against the Edmonton Oilers.

Allegations were raised this week that Lee harassed and propositioned nurses. New claims say Lee masturbated in front of a masseuse after groping her and demanding sex while he attended C2E2 in April 2017. Lee has denied the claims.

Lee is scheduled to attend the ACE Comic Con taking place January 13-5. His attendance is still being advertised with a photo ops going for $150, a dual photo op with Chris Evans going for $500, and Evans, Lee, and Tom Holland going for $800. Lee autographs are being advertised for $130.

We’ve been told directly in private from individuals that Lee is known to “pinch” women’s butts at conventions with some saying it happened to them but not wanting to be identified. We expect more to come out over the next few weeks.

With Lee’s appearance at a hockey game being cancelled, but not his convention appearance, one has to wonder, does a sport that involves grown men beating the crap out of each other have higher standards than the comic industry? Which convention will be the first to cancel his appearance over this and say no more? What publishers will sever ties?

Here’s your chance to stand up comic industry and you’re failing miserably right now (ahem, Chris Evans, ahem).
