HEROESCON :: Rob Liefeld Joins Guest List!
Oh wow.
This summer, one of the biggest names in comics will be appearing at HeroesCon 2010–Rob Liefeld! From hot X-artist to Image co-founder to Internet comics-community darling/firebrand, Rob’s done pretty much everything in his career in comics. His credits are sort of insane, with X-Force, Youngblood, New Mutants, Cable, and the upcoming Prelude to Deadpool Corps just the tip of the iceberg. His art style is much discussed online, and whether you’re a fan or a not-fan, pretty much everyone who’s ever met Rob personally will agree that he’s one of the most affable, friendly guys in comics, not to mention hard-working.
Good thing too–he’s sure to have some wicked long lines, which we’re already figuring out how to handle. Most likely similar to how we handled the Bendis/Brubaker/Fraction/Claremont lines last year.
And get this–remember how last week I was talking about a “big announcement” for this week? Believe it or not this wasn’t it–Shelton sprung this one on me yesterday in a staff meeting. But we were so excited about it we decided to go ahead and announce it today, while we double-dot our i’s and triple-cross our t’s for the other big announcement. Next week yo!
I hope the other big announcement involves shipping someone over from Japan whose work is hitting America as a double whammy!
I am soooooo freakin excited about this, Rob is my all time favorite comic creator and Heroes Con is my favorite con. This is heaven for me, pure, sweet, heaven.
Is this his first time at HeroesCon?
So Adam Hughes, Brian Bolland and Rob Leifeld in a “Covers” panel. Aesthetics and Commerce
What say you???????
Andy, I’m not sure if this is Rob’s first time or not. Shelton will know. I’m pretty sure you could do a covers panel with just Adam and Brian and not need anyone else! I bet Rob would make for a great paneleer though.
As the members of the hunting club like to say about me; I’m game!
This sooooo needs to be the incentive poster for the three day pass!
