Now up on our site is the initial guest list for HeroesCon 2010! Those of you who are familiar with how we do things will know this is just the barest fraction of the eventual guest list, but we think this is a pretty impressive start!

From our friends at Gaijin Studios and BLVD Studios, to lone wolves like Phil Noto and Brandon Peterson and Cliff Chiang, not to mention good ol’ Adam Hughes and Allison Sohn… super nice beginning, no? And some newer “family” members like Frank Cho and Stephane Roux… delicious!

But I personally am maybe most excited about the triumphant return to HeroesCon of “Shifty” Tim Townsend, who has missed the last several years! We love Tim, and it’s exciting to see he has finally gotten his life back on track and will be here in June! Tim is one of the last great brush inkers in mainstream comics, and he makes it look good too!

Okay! We’ll be adding tons of names to this list over the coming weeks, as I try to mow through the backlog of emails I have in my inbox, not to mention Shelton’s! In the meantime, enjoy your Wednesday and buy some comics!
