Futurama's Billy West to Headline Rhode Island Comic-Con

The organizers of the upcoming Rhode Island Comic-Con, set to be the state's first comic book convention and coming the first weekend in November, announced today that Futurama actor Billy West, also known for his roles on Doug and Ren and Stimpy as well as his stint with the Howard Stern Show, will headline the show. The show will be a pretty TV- and movie-heavy affair, with a Battlestar Galactica cast reunion planned with actors Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch, Noah Hathaway, Herb Jefferson Jr., Anne Lockhart, Felix Silla and Laurette Spang. Actors representing the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises will also be present, as well as dozens of comic book artists. Oh, yeah, and the Soup Nazi.
