HEROESCON 2010 :: June 4-6, 2010!!
YES YES YESSSSSSSSS
At long last we have officially set our dates for Heroes Convention 2010: JUNE 4-6, 2010. From some of the behind-the-scenes goings-0n, HeroesCon 2010 looks like it’s going to be the biggest HeroesCon ever, which is saying something if you’ve ever been to one!
This is great news for us, as we had a terrible time trying to find a weekend that the Charlotte Convention Center was available, and that was also not taken up by another convention! As it turns out the only available date was already taken by our buddies at the Florida Supercon–fortunately for us, they very VERY kindly offered to move their dates so that exhibitors and fans could enjoy TWO great conventions instead of just one! This is a hugely gracious act on their part, and believe me when I say we’re grateful and impressed by it. Check out what they’ve already got line up for their show, going on Father’s Day weekend next year–they’re in high gear!
And we’re moving into high gear as well–look for more big announcements as we get confirmation on them, INCLUDING HeroesCon hotel rates! What?? Yes yes my damies, all lights are green for us this year! More soon!
I’m actually really glad it’s on a different weekend than the usual Father’s Day weekend like the past few years.
Crikey! That’s only 7 months away! I better start saving.
Hooray! Lots of good news this weekend!
Excellent – now the planning begins. Bonus points for not being on Father’s Day weekend.
Tears of joy.
Tears of joy!
This is the happiest news I’ve heard all month!
…well almost.
Hooray–I will finally get a Father’s Day Breakfast and the complete adoration from my two in- house gals.
Is Heroes the first Con of Summer or the Last Con of Spring?
Definitely the FIRST con of the Summer of 2010! Memorial Day is the official-unofficial beginning of summer. What a great way to get it started!
YAY! I’m gonna freakin’ MISS YOU GUYS! Come June my wallet will spring open for no reason, and I won’t sleep out of habit.
PS-Don’t know how you’re gonna top last years though, I met Ed Brubaker, Roger Langridge, The Potter Twins and MICHAEL JORDAN!!! How does that happen?
Hey Shelton
Heroes Con weekend is my birthday weekend this year — does this mean I get a guest of my choice as a gift?!?!
Really excited to celebrate my birthday at the con, honestly!
Best
John Popa
Make a wish John, and post it here. We’ll see what we can do!
Shelton,
This is a different John but would like to request you get Barry Kitson back. I missed him last year.
John
Thanks Shelton 🙂
And I’d LOVE to finally meet my favorite artist in comics — Dan Brereton!
Best — see you in June!
John Popa
I would love to see
Mark Evanier and/or
Tom Spurgeon.
If we got Evanier, think of the Kirby panel we could have.
If we got Spurgeon, think of the “smart guy” panels we could have!
How about Jef Mallett (Frazz)?
Steve Rude?
Dash Shaw?
Bill Willingham?
How about I let someone else make some suggestions?
I am already excited!!! Thanks for everything guys!!
I would love another showing of Irwin Hasen’s biography. It was wonderful to watch. I laughed and cried. I wish more people had seen it. It might be nice to pair with a panel comparing the experiences of the older artists and the younger artists coming up through the ranks.
I’d love to see some female creators invited: especially Gail Simone, Nicola Scott, and G. Willow Wilson. Also people like Angela Robinson, Felicia Henderson, Ivory Madison, Amanda Connor(I know she’s been there before), Kathryn Immonen, Sara Pichelli, Amanda McMurray, Amy Wolfram, Jen Van Meter, Trina Robbins. And the list could go on and on. It’s time to celebrate the achievement Women Creators have been making to the comic industry. It would be nice to even have a panel that featured the contributions of Women Creators to characters!

Oh, are we making suggestions for guests?
Besides the regulars, how about…..
Paul Pope (Battling Boy should be out by June, hopefully)
Ben Templesmith (since he had to cancel last year)
Sean Gordon Murphey
Erik Jones (he’s usually hanging around anyway, but it’d be nice to make him an official guest)
Jim Mahfood
Steve Mannion
Any of the Allen Spiegel artists
I’m a bit disappointed. ConCarolinas/DeepSouthCon is the same weekend. I usually enjoy doing CC and HeroesCon back to back, but I guess I’ll have to skip this year.
Yep. ConCarolinas is ALWAYS the weekend after Memorial Day. We’ve locked in our dates for several years to come.
Woot, Heroescon 2010 is set. I Always have a good time shopping around for collectibles, meeting the artists, getting some original art and checking out the costumes. Can’t wait!
Oh, Yeah I know it can get annoying but in the spirit of guest requests…
Jim Lee (would be amazing to finally meet him!)
Mike Mignola
Rosario Dawson (would be great to see her again)
Yuusss!
im so excited, i used to go w/ my dad jim royal when he appeared. When he passed, i made a pact i would go EVERY YEAR!
So im sooosoooo excited!
Seriously? I’ve been going the past five years on the same weekend, and this year you changed it? I always check up on the weekend a month beforehand, and now I’ve missed the only convention I ever go to. Thanks so much.
Really? This post dates back to October of last year, and the convention, while often on Father’s Day Weekend, moves a week or two in either direction probably half the time. For instance, the show was a week after Father’s Day in 2008, and at the end of June in 2006.
