October 19, 2022: It has been nearly 60 years since the X-Men first landed on the pages of Marvel Comics back in 1963. To celebrate, Giant-Size Productions has launched the inaugural event – The Uncanny Experience. The immersive fan convention will cater to fans of the X-Men with unique immersion elements in a historic X-Mansion-like environment, celebrity appearances, cosplay, vendor booths, panel programming, and so much more. The event will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota on September 16th & 17th, 2023 at The Minneapolis Club. Tickets are available now at www.theuncannyexperience.com
The Uncanny Experience includes traditional convention activities like celebrity autographs, comic book sellers, cosplayers, and more. Confirmed special guests include legendary comic book writer Chris Claremont (Uncanny X-Men, The New Mutants), the voice of Wolverine – Cal Dodd (X-Men: The Animated Series, X-Men ’97), the voice of Rogue – Lenore Zann (X-Men: The Animated Series, X-Men ’97), and director/animator Larry Houston (X-Men: The Animated Series), with more guests to be announced at a later date.
Attendees can expect a hybrid event that combines comic book convention elements alongside immersive entertainment. Each attendee will get an Uncanny Student ID badge to enter the event, take Instagram-worthy photos in the historic venue, meet our special guests through booth signings & panels, attend classes on various topics like Mutant History and Understanding tarot with Tarot, enjoy the free-play video arcade room (chili fries not included), and find fellow mutant enthusiasts. The weekend will have a cosplay contest and feature special cosplayer guests from around the United States. Plus, everyone loves a good villain, so we’re bringing the Hellfire Club to The Uncanny Experience with a lavish red-velvet lounge for drinks and debauchery. The weekend concludes with a Graduation Ceremony where those in attendance will receive a diploma if they complete the Immersive Experience activations stationed throughout the mansion. Entrance to The Uncanny Experience is open to all ages, but anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
