Madness descends on April 15th to the 17th, as this year’s Midwest Media Expo will be in full swing in Dearborn, Michigan! Founded a couple of years ago by the good folks who also founded Youmacon in Detroit, this coming MWME will be filled to the brim with live panels, fun events, cosplayers, artists and vendors, and of course, special guests, with more information likely to be announced towards the date of the con itself.
If you’re in the area and looking for a really, really good reason to register for the convention, perhaps this fun little event will tickle your fancy.
Among the guests attending the Midwest Media Expo are voice actors Jon St. John and Kyle Hebert. Some of you might remember St. John for his vocal talents as Duke Nukem in his titular gaming series, Execk from Chris Niosi’s animated webseries TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise, and our personal favourite Big the Cat from Sonic Adventure until Sonic Heroes. As for Hebert, he lent his voice to familiar faces such as Son Gohan from Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball, Ryu from Capcom’s Street Fighter games, and, since Sonic Colours for the Nintendo DS, Big the Cat!
So what happens when you book both voice artists for the same convention? Only the stuff of legend.

The “Battle of the Bigs” event will pit both big men with their stupid Big voices against each other in a battle of wits. If it’s truly as incredible as it sounds, this once-in-a-lifetime event between Big the Cats is not something to be missed!
That said, clear up your calendars for April and register for your own passes to the Midwest Media Expo today!

oh so SEGA is still supporting big the cat? well he is still a ok character but he didn’t appear in much sonic games.
I’m losing my mind here, this is amazing. Also giggled that my old Brawn the Cat Photoshop got featured briefly, haha!
What kind of Big The Cat is this the voice Acters verus for being a perfect Big The Cat acter challenge!
Those poor fools over at Midwest Media Expo, none shall survive in this venture.
In their arrogance, they thought they had control over these two titans of BIG-ness, and not the other way around.
Now there is no option. RET THEM FIGHT-O.

SOMEONE DUB THIS RIGHT NOW
My first choice would either be the Honest Trailers guy or Tom Kenny, since his voice was what I heard when I was making this. X)””
I read this all in Stephen Colbert’s voice.
It is not April Fools yet
Hah! I love it.
I wonder how much they paid John St. John to show up considering his hatred for Big the Cat. XD
Maybe he’ll simply come by to kick ass and chew bubblegum.
