Heroes Con in Charlotte. There was a lot of Valiant this year, and they have a huge artist alley. Not to mention it's in Charlotte- the best city in the South.

:hm: I'll keep an eye out on that one next year.

On another note I may be in London on business at the end of October when the London expo is on. Any of you UK members know what comic artists are going to be there? I can't find sh*t on the website

For you. I remembered now that Dark Horse made a very nice overview of concept drawings, so the picture below shows that and the jump-suit from CBA (the other image from CBA Dark Horse has as well). It's just a snapshot, so I decided not to shrink it. Thus it's large and I just put a link.

So is the concensus San Diego? I know it's one of the bigest, but is it the best as far as Valiant goes? (or comics in general for that matter)?

San Diego is by far a great Con but if you are wanting to go and see great things with Valiant go to the NYC Con. :thumb:

Not 100% sure here but I would say the 2007 Valiant reunion as panels should be much better organized than in San Diego mostly due to the fact that many of the former Valiant employees actually live in NYC and make themselves readily available. I mean you gotta face it:

San Diego (last show): one former Valiant employee - one panel

NYC (last show): more Valiant employees than I can remember - two panels

One of the tradeoffs here is that San Diego is SO huge and has much more to do than NYC. Depends on what you are going for. Both shows/panels had varying degrees of 'stuff'.

One year, I will make it to both coast's shows. NYC was a blast this year, and I hate that I couldn't make SD.

Maybe next year.

:hm:
