A ‘Pretty Little Liar’ is en route to Supanova Comic Con & Gaming! Supa-Star Tammin Sursok has just been announced as the latest addition to the convention’s Brisbane line-up (6-7 November), along with a wealth of literary legends and comic book creatives!

Audiences first fell in love with Sursok via her portrayal of Dani Sutherland in the iconic Aussie series, Home and Away, appearing in nearly 300 episodes. From Summer Bay to Genoa City, Sursok found international success on the long-running soap opera classic, The Young and The Restless, before landing a leading role as Jenna Marshall on the smash-hit, Pretty Little Liars.

Joining the actress are some of the country’s most beloved authors, including Supa-Stars Amanda Bridgeman, Kim Wilkins and Isobelle Carmody. Bridgeman recently added a second Tin Duck Award to her belt, with a TV adaptation of her hit series, The Salvation, currently in development. She will appear ahead of her long-anticipated novel, Pandemic: Patient Zero, slated for release in 2022.

Wilkins is perhaps best known for her fantasy series, Blood and Gold, the third installment of which, Queens of the Sea, was released in 2019. Carmody is a multi-disciplinary author, writing for readers of all ages, and has received critical acclaim for her Obernewtyn Chronicles. Her latest work, The Velvet City, is the final book in her award-winning The Kingdom of the Lost series

Comic fans won’t want to miss returning faves Mark Raats, Adam and Wayne Nichols, Sid Stones, and Morrigan Moore, along with the team at IFWG Publishing Australia! Raats’ work has been immortalised through his contributions to the Star Wars cinematic universe, while the Nichols brothers have between them worked on everything from Ghostbusters to The Incredible Hulk.

Leading the charge are two of Outworld’s heaviest hitters: Mortal Kombat’s Nathan Jones and Daniel Nelson! A Former WWE wrestler, Jones has featured in some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, witnessable as the son of Immortan Joe, Rictus, in Mad Max: Fury Road and Reiko in Mortal Kombat. Nelson is best known for his sensational stunt work as Mortal Kombat’s Kabal (voiced by Damon Herriman) and recently lent his skills to Godzilla vs. Kong as Alexander Skarsgård’s stunt double.

The pair are joined by Black Sails actor Luke Arnold, promoting his urban fantasy novels, The Last Smile in Sunder City and Dead Man in A Ditch. Arnold recently made waves as Home and Away’s Lewis Hayes and received a Silver Logie for his role as Michael Hutchence in the INXS miniseries Never Tear Us Apart.

Speaking of Summer Bay, Home and Away fans won’t want to miss ‘Geoff Campbell’ a.k.a. Logie Award winner Lincoln Lewis! Having featured on Dancing with the Stars, Australia’s Next Top Model and more, this year sees the release of Lewis’ terrifying new film, The Possessed.

Also set to return is Todd Lasance, best known for his role as Julius Caesar in Spartacus. Since wrapping on the Starz mega-hit, Lasance has featured in fan-favourite series The Flash and The Vampire Diaries, and starred alongside Michael B. Jordan in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse.

Stones is the powerhouse behind Petrie Press and the Banksia Project, and received a coveted Platinum Ledger Award in recognition of their contributions to the Australian comic book community. Moore is a previous recipient of a Banksia Project nomination, earned via her independent comic, Godslayers, and dabbles in everything from resin casting to woodworking. Meanwhile, IFWG continue their 2021 tour, with speculative fiction masters Brad Mengel, Helen Stubbs (Saturday only) and more still to be confirmed!
