Attending celeb guests include: William Shatner (Star Trek), Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Richard Dean Anderson (Stargate), Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), John Noble and Jasika Nicole (Fringe), Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, and Gates McFadden (Star Trek: TNG), Colin Ferguson (Eureka), and Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) just to name a few.

UPDATE: Nathan Fillion just tweeted this morning that he will be unable to attend DCC, saying,
“Dear Dallas, I hate to do this last minute, but I have to cancel. I’d give my right eye to be there, but it’s swollen and gross. Apologies.”
But hey, Nathan would still like us to keep up the spirit and have a great time this weekend, I’m sure! Read on for what’s happening at DCC this year:
