Denver Comic Con 2017 Guest Spotlight: Millie Bobby Brown

Written by John Edward Betancourt

I've always found it absolutely magical when a new television show arrives and quickly becomes a phenomenon. It's just wonderful to be able to sit down and discuss with anyone and everyone how cool said new show is and what they love about it because that's really what being a geek is all about, celebrating the stories we love and enjoy. Plus, hey, big time success is awesome for the stars because now they're in the limelight and living their dreams and really...it's a win-win for everyone when you think about it.

But for the modern geek, merely celebrating what we love isn't enough. We need to interact with the stars, we need to know more about them and what makes them tick, which brings us to the wonder of Denver Comic Con. Because they understand our need to immerse ourselves in these universes and once again, DCC has delivered on all fronts because this morning, they announced another big time star will be in attendance at the end of June, and this star is a new one to the spotlight for that matter...Millie Bobby Brown.

Now this young star boasts quite the impressive resume already. She's portrayed young Alice on Once Upon a Time in Wonderland on ABC and worked with BBC America by way of her role as Madison O'Donnell in Intruders and she's even landed a gig in the upcoming 2019 monster epic, Godzilla: King of the Monsters. But the role that has truly put her on the map is one that everyone enjoyed over the fall, since she wowed all of us as the Eggo loving Eleven in Netflix's Stranger Things.  

What makes her appearance at Denver Comic Con this year equally more impressive however, is the fact that she will be joined at the con by Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin on the show and Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas, more or less making this particular announcement a Stranger Things reunion. Granted, there's nothing official when it comes to such a thing, but how cool is it to know that all three of these young stars will be at DCC, a convention that is clearly working hard to land as many big names as possible so the fans can get exactly what they need when it comes to their fandoms.  

Which means I must stress this point once again, get your tickets today. Not tomorrow. Not a month from now. Hop on over to the Denver Comic Con ticket page and snag them right away because it's April, and DCC is still pouring out announcements and one can only wonder what other guests might be headed to Denver come June, and I'll see all of you, with a box of Eggos in hand, in Millie's line when the big weekend arrives. Until next time.
