Welcome Cliff Chiang to the HeroesCon 2011 guest list! Chiang is an awesome artist whose recent credits include Brave and the Bold #33, Birds of Prey #3, cover artist for Justice League: Generation Lost and Neil Young’s Greendale. He made his mark in the industry with his work on Human Target and  Green Arrow/Black Canary. Earlier this year he did some Star Wars posters for Acme Archives which were amazing! Also, I was super excited to hear that he will be doing the art on Zatanna #8!

Artist Francesco Francavilla is blowing up these days so you better stop by his table early to get on his commission list! He will be doing the Jim Gordon co-feature starting in Detective Comics #871. And recently announced he will be doing the art for Black Panther: The Man Without Fear where Black Panther will take over for Daredevil following the events of Shadowland. Francavilla also maintains several blogs which are definitely worth checking out. His Pulp Sunday blog is currently running Halloween-themed posts based on classic horror movies. He also has a sketch blog that he updates regularly with concept art and illustrations. He is also a regular contributor to the Comic Twart blog. This leaves me wondering, when does he have time to sleep?

New to the guest list but not new to HeroesCon is Buddy Prince! He is a long time friend of the store and a super great guy! He is probably best known for his work on Night published through Jester Press Comics. Recently he has been busy as a Marvel Sketch Card artist, specifically on the Marvel 70th Anniversary and Marvel Heroes and Villains lines. He is also a Moonstone Maximum Sketch Card artist.

We are proud to add the talented Chris Roberson to our guest list! He is the writer for iZombie, the fabulous new series he created with artist Mike Allred.
