FAQs
Why is FanX not Comic Con anymore?
On July 25, 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International sent Dan Farr Productions a cease and desist letter over the use of the word “Comic Con.” In December 2017, a San Diego jury found San Diego Comic-Con does hold a trademark on the term “Comic Con,” but also found Salt Lake organizers Dan Farr and Bryan Brandenburg did not willfully or intentionally violate it. Subsequently, Farr and Brandenburg re-branded the convention under the name FanX.
How popular is FanX?
FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention is Utah’s biggest pop culture convention and, by attendance, one of the biggest comic cons in the country.
What celebrities are going to FanX?
A lot of celebrities have made their way to FanX over the year. Take a look at FanX #23’s celebrity roster.
