She’s been the love interest of an evil supergenius, leads one of the fiercest (and funniest) guilds in all of World of Warcraft, and holds the honor of being the woman who filmmaker Joss Whedon says will someday “rule Asia and invent a new color.”

And now, Felicia Day is coming to the Mile High City.

The actress joins comic book icon Stan Lee, actors George Takei (“Star Trek”), Wil Wheaton (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”) and Peter Mayhew (“Star Wars”) on the guest list for the 2013 Denver Comic Con taking place May 31 to June 2 at the Colorado Convention Center.

Day is one of the top fan-requested guests this year, according to convention organizers. She said in an interview that she’s excited for her first trip to Denver to “meet fans I’ve never met before.” She added that her brother gives Denver high praise, calling it “a really cool city that has great food and culture.”

Day co-starred in the Emmy Award-winning “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” and had a recurring role on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” She’s the creator, writer, producer and star of the web comedy series “The Guild,” and she currently oversees Geek & Sundry, a production company and YouTube channel of all-original content. She will be at the Denver Comic Con the entire weekend.

Ticket sales for this year’s Denver Comic Con are up 1,000 percent compared to this time last year, according to organizers. VIP tickets are sold out, as are exhibitor booths and space in the artist alley.
