We have some good stuff for you guys! Not only do we have a great guest list update, but the initial Artist’s Alley/ Small Press listing has also been added to the site. Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty!

Writer Paul Benjamin has a list of credits far too long to list here. Muppet King Arthur, Amazing Spider-Man, and World of Warcraft: Shaman are just a few.

We’re very happy to have Danielle Corsetto back this year. Her popular webcomic Girls With Slingshots is a perennial favorite! Look for the giant cactus with a moustache, she won’t be far.

Nick Derington can do many things, from storyboarding animation to writing and drawing comics, and he does them all very well. You’ve seen Nick’s work in the film adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly (Nick was the Lead Animator), Erin Esurance ads, Popgun Vol. 1 and the Escapist to name a few.

Michael Dooney is the creator of Gizmo, a great comic from the black and white boom of the 80’s. Dooney has also worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and tons of toy designs.

Ian Flynn is the writer and guiding creative force behind the comic versions of Sonic the Hedgehog and the upcoming Mega Man books from Archie Comics. Ian will also be at the store for Free Comic Book Day on May 7th if you can’t wait until June!

Carla “Speed” McNeil is known for her long-running Finder series. She has recently taken her creation to Dark Horse Comics and I’m sure this amazing series that Scott McCloud called, “the best comic you’ve never read” will find the audience it deserves!

Declan Shalvey is making his second trip to HeroesCon this year and he has been keeping busy since his last visit! You know Declan’s art from the pages of 28 Days Later, Thunderbolts, and Captain America and Crossbones.

We’d also like to welcome back Micah Harris & Loston Wallace, co-creators of the new, hot-off-the-presses Lorna: Relic Wrangler.

Take a look at some of the talented folks setting up in our Artist’s Alley! Table assignments will be up before too long. If you purchased a table (not a booth) and you don’t see your name on that list please feel free to contact  me. Also, email me if you see any errors (mispelled name, broken/bad links, etc). I will take the blame if I made the mistakes but some of you need to work on your penmanship (you know who you are!)

As we mentioned in a previous blog post Small Press tables at HeroesCon 2011 are sold out. We will be taking a limited number of waiting list slots in case anyone needs to cancel or more space becomes available. Thanks!
