Rhode Island Comic Con has just announced the latest addition to their 2016 guest list, comic book legend Stan Lee.

Best known for his creation of numerous characters in the Marvel Universe, such as, Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the X-Men, and many others; the addition of Lee to this year’s guest list is an exciting achievement for the budding convention. This will be the last New England convention appearance for the 93-year-old, Lee, making this an even more momentous occasion. 

Other notable guests attending the event are Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who, Legends of Tomorrow), Katie Cassidy (Arrow), Summer Glau ( Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Kristen Bauer (Trueblood), and Robin Lorde Taylor (Gotham).

The convention, which is celebrating its fifth year, has many more announcements to make as the list fills up but it will be interesting to see how they beat out last year’s impressive guests and really prove that they are the Biggest Show in the Smallest State.
