Warren Ellis Won't Be At 2010 Wizard Show Despite Print Ad's Suggestion

The writer Warren Ellis is generous enough to chalk up as a misunderstanding this advertisement that strongly implies his attendance at the 2010 Toronto Comic-Con (I assume without knowing for sure they've changed its name since purchasing it) despite his never had any contact of any kind with anyone that would make this a logical conclusion. While I can't speak to this specific incident, given the potential dissonance created by their appropriation of the term "Comic-Con" and the direction of their PR regarding same, I wouldn't be surprised if dubious strategies aren't going to be par for the course in getting this new generation of Shamus-owned shows on their feet.
