Only over the last 2 years has it grown. It used to be at the Mesa Convention Center and was pretty much an Indy show/Star Trek convention. Tons of Trek actors, lots of independent comic companies, and Wil Wheaton. In 08 they had Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness for the launch of Rulk and a few others. 09 had Todd McFarlane and Whilce, and 3 Next Generation cast members. Last year Stan Lee was there and it added some legitimacy to the con, I think. They also moved it to the Phoenix CC downtown last year. I guess it tripled in attendance, more than they anticipated. This year it's expected to get bigger yet. Lee, Hama, Max Brooks, Nimoy, a few of the guys from the Guild, Wheaton (who is phenominal), Takei, Billy Dee, and a bunch of other people. In a few years, if it keeps growing, could reach that second tier of important comic cons.
