WizardWorld Chicago Hits 56,000

Securing its place as American Pop Culture Con #2, Wizard bumped up a little bit with its 2005 show from 54,000 plus to 56,000 says ICv2.com. It's unclear from this article if Preview Night figures were counted. I believe Wizard Entertainment already counts multiple-day passes as an attendee for each day, and since the supposedy poorly attended Preview Night was new, this could represent a less impressive bump or even a slight overall decline. Also, the coup of Frank Miller and Jim Lee appearing together after an extended and obvious period of creator/publicity vehicle detente doesn't seem to have paid off with a bump in attendance their combined comic book star wattage might dictate.
