ANDY’S PICKS: The Classic Comics Cavalcade[TM] rolls on and on and on. I was forced to take a few Staff Pick sessions off so I could stockpile and sell my blood and pay off my Heroes TAB. So, I’ll be brief… ‘cuz if I sit or stand for too long I get a might dizzy.

Westin rooms are almost completely sold out for HeroesCon weekend! Luckily for you, Heroes Head Honcho Shelton Drum has worked out the same deal with the Hilton Charlotte Center City right on the other side of the Convention Center. The special rate of $124 a night will be available until May 17th but we are predicting a quick sell out considering how fast the Westin block sold. So, book now! See you in June!
