It's the evening of our last day #Melbnova! We wrapped up the day with some Supa-Star Q&As and finally our Supanova Cosplay Competition where we saw some amazing cosplays.

Supa-Star Ernie Hudson took to the stage on Saturday to talk all things acting during his time on Ghostbusters!

We want to support the community as best we can, and will be providing further updates throughout the day.

To ensure that all Supa-Fans, Exhibitors and Artisans, Guests, Volunteers, and Crew are able to observe the silence respectfully, this will now be held at 12pm, reducing the potential for interruptions.

Hi Supa-Fans,

Today, we will be holding a minute’s silence in recognition of the terrible events that took place so close to home yesterday.

Supanova will continue to support all Supa-Fans that come through our doors tomorrow morning, and we will be holding a minute’s silence in sympathy and solidarity of the affected families and friends at 10am before opening our doors to our event.

As the matter is still under police investigation and took place outside the Showgrounds precinct, we do not have any further details at present.

As such, we will not enter into any speculation regarding this appalling situation until all the facts come to light.

We here at Supanova Comic Con & Gaming are deeply saddened and distressed by the incident that occurred outside the Melbourne Showgrounds this evening.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the unspeakable tragedy that has happened on our doorstep.

Thanks to you Supa-Fans, we have had an amazing start to day one of #Melbnova! During his Q&A panel Andy Serkis shared a glimpse into his time on the set of Lord of the Rings. There is still so much to look forward to! Be sure to check the official Supanova App!

Hi Supa-Fans, sadly the travel delays that impacted Graham McTavish's trip to the Gold Coast have continued and he will unfortunately not be able to join us tomorrow as we had hoped.

He sends his apologies and we hope to see him next weekend in Melbourne.

Hi Supa-Fans, an unfortunate travel delay has meant that Supa-Star Graham McTavish will not be able to make it to the Gold Coast tomorrow for his appearance as planned. We are hoping that he will be able to arrive in time to appear on Sunday for his panel alongside Supa-Star Stephen Hunter.
