HEROESCON :: Wrightson?? Starlin?? Chiarello?? WHAAT??
I’m about to sprain your EXCITEMENT MUSCLE!!!
SOMEBODY GET ME MORE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!
Bernie Wrightson, you guys, Bernie Wrightson. Late breaking addition to one of the most ridiculous (and hugest) HeroesCon Guest Lists of all time. Extraordinarily influential artist, inspiration to entire generationS (note the S!) of artists! Master of creating mood and atmosphere, part of a tradition of a tradition in comics stretching back to Frank Frazetta himself! Creepy, Eerie, House of Secrets, and the recent Dead She Said with fellow guest Steve Niles! Whoa nellie, guys, whoa nellie.
But what about this guy?
Whaaatt?? Jim Starlin?? Death of Captain Marvel? Death of the New Gods? Cosmic Odyssey? Sure bring him on WHY NOT?? Holy cow HeroesCon is NUTS this year.
But wait look at all these new guys, as if Bernie and Jim weren’t enough:
Mark Chiarello and Ian Sattler of DC Comics–Mark is DC’s Art Director, and editor on high profile works like Wednesday Comics and Solo, not to mention a painter, illustrator, and occasional comics cover artist. And DC Editor Ian Sattler, who last year decimated on of the Dollar Bin‘s microphones in an ill-advised bit of stage showmanship!
Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Universe creators Tracy Yardley, Paul Kaminski, and Jon Gray! Tracy’s been with us before, but I do believe that Paul and Jon are first-timers!
And, from our guest Brian Pulido comes this exclusive HeroesCon cover–or coversss??–to Lady Death: The Rapture #1. Brian will have those only at HeroesCon at his table in Artists Alley (tables 54 and 55!)!
Okay guys tons more to come–I’ll be working late tonight getting the schedule up on the site. Will it be up when you wake up tomorrow? Can I keep from falling asleep at my desk? Only time will tell!
Jim Starlin??? Best news I have heard all year!!!!
So, in one swell foop (rhyming slang) you have added the creators of Swamp Thing and Master of Kung Fu.
Whoa
I look forward to meeting them both. However, I plan to keep my meetings brief– these two are notorious for killing anyone they are associated with over any extended period of time. (I’m just sayin’)
Once again, the bestest just got a little bestier!
