Due to scheduling conflicts, Billy Dee Williams will no longer be able to attend FAN EXPO Canada. We will miss him, and hope to see him again in the future.

[Captain Canuck]

Is the John Byrne autograph package the only way to get autographs from him or will he also be doing a free signing? If there is a free signing is there a restriction on the type and amount of items?

[thirdgreenham]

Kevin? Kevin!!!!  

[CKinTO]

Assume people saw this, but John Byrne packages went on sale at 10am this morning. I thought it was very reasonably priced and as good of a package as I expected given where this was heading: $150, includes a Star Trek special hardcover omnibus (that both Byrne and Shatner will sign), and includes 2 additional autographs from Byrne on whatever we want.

[Kevin Boyd]

Packages went on sale this morning for John Byrne/William Shatner and Humberto Ramos.

We also announced a bunch of new comic guests, I'll follow with updates.

No, I do not have any details on Byrne at Expo outside of the package at this time.

[Kevin Boyd]

This is the limited hardcover book you get in the package. It collects 8 issues of Star Trek: New Visions by John Byrne.

Byrne and Shatner will be signing it, and Byrne will sign 2 additional items of your choice.

Kevin, great job here. Think the John Byrne package is very reasonable (and best I could hope for given his policy on no CGC SS), now just have to figure out which 2 books to get signed! Also love the Marjorie Liu / Sana Takeda add, am a big fan of Monstress.

[mndb369]

Just bought my package for Byrne. I just want to meet the man behind why I started collecting. Still can he restrict CGC SS if you have a CGC witness with you?

[Kevin Boyd]

When a creator informs the grading company that they don't authorize their signature for SS, or that they have certain restrictions (such as no CGC Witnesses at public signings - just private), then they (the company) comply with the creator's wishes.

Will there be another wave of guest @Kevin Boyd??

[Kevin Boyd]

 

That's pretty much it aside from guests who are appearing at publisher booths like Aspen, Zenoscope, Action Lab... as well as any DC and/or Marvel editorial guests. 

 

[Canadiancomics]

Great lineup! @Kevin Boyd When I saw that picture of ASM 1 I thought Ottley was attending for a second Can't seem to find many appearances from him.

[Kevin Boyd]

Oh I tried, I love Ryan's work, but he wants to make sure Spider-Man is out on time and is working hard on the book. I read #1 this morning and I was very impressed. There's a lot of story and character bits in there and lots of use of Ryan's ability to turn out amazing double page multiple heroes vs. villains spreads.

Agreed!

The two books - thank God there are 7-ish weeks until the show because limiting it to just 2...is going to be the most difficult con decision I've had to make!  This is a great package - I've always wanted to meet Bill Shatner and now I will.  Great setup.

And the rest of the guest list is spectacular.

Multiple announcement day for animation fans.
