Wizard of awes: Fans Marvel at stars and more at Hub comics fest

Watertown native Eliza Dushku delighted fans yesterday when she said there was a Joss Whedon character she'd like to reprise even more than Faith, the action hero she played in TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and "Angel.''

"I hear Joss is doing this little movie called 'Wonder Woman.' If he wants to call me up for that, I'd throw on the boots and the suit. I'd do that,'' Dushku said.

The 24-year-old actress already was wonderful in the eyes of thousands who turned up at Wizard World Boston, a pop-culture convention making its first-ever visit to the Hub. Fans waited in line for hours at the Bayside Expo Center to meet the expo's star attraction.

After taking her fiance's picture with Dushku, 28-year-old Amanda Jordan told Jim Butler, "You're engaged to me, not to her. You can't have her.''

Butler replied: "But she said I was cute.''

The Hadley couple bought some ``Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' action figures along with collectibles from Marvel Comics and ``Serenity.'' Meeting Dushku was ``a happy coincidence,'' Jordan said. ``We came for the action figures, but we were excited to find out she was here, too.''

For Dushku, the convention appearance meant a chance to come home and see family and childhood friends.

On Thursday, she said, she begins shooting a new movie, ``Nobel's Son.'' Next month, she starts rehearsals for an off-Broadway production, ``Dog Sees God,'' that she calls exciting yet terrifying.

While a few souls attended the adjacent oddly timed ``Red Sox Mania'' autograph show, thousands more soaked up the comic books, video games, anime, ``Star Wars'' costumes and more at Wizard World.

She was very cute in True Lies with Arnold. She was probably 16 when she appeared in that movie. Unfortunately, pictures that I've seen of her recently lead me to believe that she's had some plastic surgery.
