Oz Comic-Con Unveils First Round of Guests and Content for Perth
Aaron Dismuke and Sarah Wiedenheft lead the initial wave of announcements, kicking off an
epic 2024
Fans of all things from the wide world of pop culture are in for a treat as Oz Comic-Con kicks off
another year with announcements of epic proportions. Featuring everything from film activations and
hands-on opportunities with upcoming games to celebrity Q&As and a showcase of art from
homegrown talent, the 2024 season is sure to leave an impression.
The return of Oz Comic-Con to Western shores back in 2023 saw the community back together
under one roof, indulging in a showcase of the latest and greatest that pop culture has to offer. As
nature is healing, Oz Comic-Con is thrilled to be doing it all again with a weekend of festivities
planned for May 11th & 12th at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre (PCEC).
Though the extended guest lineup is still to be announced, voice actors Aaron Dismuke (Fullmetal
Alchemist, RWBY, My Hero Academia) and Sarah Wiedenheft (Dragon Ball Super, Chainsaw
Man, Black Clover) lead the first wave of announcements, bringing a wealth of knowledge and an
immense character portfolio to fans.
From the realms of literature and illustration, Amanda Bridgeman is confirmed and will be joined
by Wolfgang Bylsma of Gestalt and Scott Wilson of Comics on Country. As for cosplay, avid
creators and tinkerers can also meet JusZ Cosplay and Kirilee Cosplay, who will be showcasing
some of their latest creations and offering advice for enthusiasts.
Speaking of cosplay, there is an opportunity to enter one of the most prestigious cosplay contests in
Australia, the Australian Championships of Cosplay, which highlights the immense talent and
craftsmanship from every stretch of the country. Perth took out the top spot on the podium in
2023, with Giorgia Costumes crowned overall champion.
Perth will be the first installment, with qualifying winners battling it out in the final round in Sydney
for the chance to be crowned Australian Champion of Cosplay for 2024.
Alongside the Lip Sync and So You Think You Can Just Dance competitions, attendees can expect a
full weekend bursting with energy, including staple pillars such as industry talks and panels, free play
gaming opportunities, workshops and lashings of retail opportunities with exclusive pop culture
merchandise that can’t be found anywhere else.
