Has anyone heard of any special variants for this years convention? I see Clayton Crain has designed a Venom #2 that releases next week and it is not available on Midtown? Thanks! 

Crain is signing books at Frankie's booth and they stated they have some con exclusives, so I would guess that may be one of them.

Not this year on the $1. We cut from a 40ft to 20ft booth so only the “good” stuff

NICE!  I'll be looking forward to stopping by.

@Dale Roberts and yours, too. 

  Hotel booked, I be there Friday and Sunday. Happy travels y'all!

Anyone have any insight on Hero Initiative sketching/signing schedules? Specifically, trying to figure out how to get a sketch from Warren on either Saturday or Sunday.  Thanks!

When is the art auction?

Looking forward to stopping all the booths!

If you have the energy, you can go to the other fuel a few blocks down on the same street.  That one is never busy during the times I've visited.

Decided to drive this year, so I can buy more stuff.

Doesn't show Neal Adams in attendance this year which doesn't surprise me considering how hard he's hit Heroes in the past.  I remember going by his booth last year where he was seemingly confined and sweating, surviving on a diet of bottled water and pizza slices being brought in by his daughter he had so many projects to do.

He's signed his name so many times I'm surprised his whole arm hasn't completely fallen off by now.

He's in Denver instead

Hey guys, will be attending as well!

 

On a more serious note, the Ultimate Comics chain of 3 shops around Raleigh were ALL broken into Monday night, smashing straight in the front doors. Thief/thieves stole a ton of their high end books, smashing displays etc, and made off with other items. Early info is that they hit one shop, then drove 20 minutes, hit the next, and another 15 to 20 minutes to hit the last. A list might be up on their website, and they have a dual booth for Heroes Con, but be on the lookout for some books being shipped, with a theft that big occurring soon before a big nearby show. ☹️

I don’t like to drive but at least when I drive to Charlotte I get to stop at billy the donut Kings establishment in eufala Alabama. Best donut holes in the US imo

Any dealers have a high grade (prefer CGCed) Fantastic Four Annual 6 - bring it and I'm sure we can work out a fair cash price.

Does anyone have any interest in a Edge of Spiderverse #2 Greg Land Variant? It’s graded 9.6 by a company not CGC. Thanks!
