Denver Comic Con 2015 Guest Spotlight: Karen Gillan

Written by John Edward Betancourt

It takes a convention run by super fans to understand how convention goers think. We as fans know that there are certain things in the geek world that only work if you have the complete set, and coming hot of the heels of the Arthur Darvill announcement, Denver Comic Con proved just how well they understand that fact...by bringing Rory's better half to Denver as well.

Yes, my fellow Comiconians and Whovians...Karen Gillan will be arriving in the Mile High City this year for DCC2015 and man, these announcements continue to impress me because Karen is quickly becoming one of Hollywood's hottest stars.

Obviously we all know her as Amy Pond from her long and impressive run on Doctor Who but since she departed that show courtesy of the evil Weeping Angels she has taken film and television by storm, landing the role of Nebula in the ultra smash hit Guardians of the Galaxy. 

But it doesn't end there for Karen, she has even branched out into other genres than Science Fiction, taking a role in the horror film Oculus and landing the leading role in the 2014 sitcom Selfie. Plus she has plenty of other projects lined up, and you'll find her in the upcoming feature films; The List, In a Valley of Violence and she has an upcoming mini series on the horizon, The Devil You Know. 

But for us fans, this is another big name for Denver Comic Con, and I love that these amazing announcements just keep coming! I can't wait to see the Ponds reunited on the stage and I also can't wait to see what else DCC has planned for us!
