The Huntsville Comic and Pop Culture Expo is coming back to the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama this April. The dates are April 22nd through 24th, and this year's show promises to bring one (if not the) best lineup the show has ever had.

Right off the top, Kevin Eastman, the creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, will be at the show on Saturday and Sunday. The comic book artist remains as one of the biggest names in the history of the comic book industry for his Turtles creation, as well as the work he's done to further the medium.

Eastman won't be the only draw in Huntsville though. Other guests include legendary voice actors Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche, probably best known as Pinky and The Brain (their resumes are much larger than just those two voices), and comedic actor Tom Arnold.

The lineup for the Huntsville Comic and Pop Culture Expo also includes stars from The Walking Dead, Star Wars, Supernatural, and a ton of other great movie and TV franchises. You can see the full lineup here.

The Saturday of the show will be filled with tons of great pro wrestling talent as well, including two legends in Matt Hardy and Dustin Rhodes (Goldust). They will be joined by other AEW stars in two bright young talents, Anna Jay and Tay Conti.

Hunstville is a close enough drive from the Ark-La-Tex for a very manageable "long-weekend" vacation. Which is very needed for some right now. You can stay up to date with lineup and ticket info here on their site.
