Happy New Year, everybody! In honor of the auspicious occasion of this first day of 2008, we’re unveiling a TON of new HeroesCon stuff, and kicking off our march toward June and HeroesCon 08!

So, first up, we’ve just added four new guests to our HeroesCon 08 Guest List! We’re stoked to welcome back HeroesCon stalwart supporters: Terry Cronin, head of 3 Boys Productions and publisher of the Students of the Unusual anthology book, has just signed on to appear in Indie Island, no doubt with a cadre of the artists he publishes. Returning to promote his own forthcoming BloodRed (from Oni Press) and run workshops in conjuntion with the Savannah College of Art & Design workshop program is Shawn Crystal. Joining them are Jubilee and Connor Hawke artist Derec Donovan, not to mention Alex Saviuk, longtime Marvel artist on books including Web of Spider-Man and the current Spider-Man newspaper strips.

Best of all, now that we’re actually into 2008, we’re sure to get a ton of confirmations–get ready for the biggest HeroesCon ever! More coming up later today, as we continue to roll out more HeroesCon news.
