Heroes Con

Post by tarheelmarine »

Is anyone planning on attending the Heroes Con in Charlotte this summer? I know there are some other members in close proximity to this con.

I haven't been since 96, but I do remember it being a wonderful con with great stars.

Heh... before the NYC show, my last con was Heros in Charlotte, 1994......

I probably won't make SD this year, so Charlotte will probably be a definite. I'll let you know as it gets closer, THM!

i'm in for heroescon '06 as well.

so far the valiant attendee's are :

mike bair
bernard chang
sean chen
tommy lee edwards
warren ellis
keith giffen
bryan hitch
joe quesada
andy smith

there's a ton of big names coming this year...the whole list can be seen here...http://www.heroesonline.com/con-guests.htm

the wife wants to go up on friday since we're off that day but if other members are going later in the weekend then i might be able to convince her to change her plans a bit.

i probably won't have much scratch to spend but i'll go mainly to meet the artists anyway.

i wish i could figure out a way to get my visitor standee up there for chang to sign. i'm not sure if it'll fit in my car or not.

my wife and i are definitely going...they added mike manley to the list so i'll be taking a crapload of valiant books to get signed.

i'm afraid of bringing too much stuff for sean chen to sign...anyone know what his signing limit is?

maybe i'll send him a PM...

He signed at least 5 books for me, no problem. And that was before I offered to pay him for sketches!

Put me down as a maybe :P

I haven't been to one in a few years. I think I can afford to go this year but I'll have to see if it's practical for me to drive down there (and back) for one day.

the wife is adamant about going on friday, so...

that probably means i won't get to see anyone from here who's coming.

Tell JMS I said hello and that I'd like him to start writing good Spider-Man stories again - hopefully as soon as this Civil War mess with the stupid red and gold costume is over with.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
