Last weekend marked my third trip down to Heroes con and it was an amazing time. The show is one of the longest running cons and they put on a show that is fun, family friendly, and packed with all kinds of comic goodness (none of the aisle-clogging traffic for media guests here). I took my son this year and he had a blast and told me I am not allowed to go to this show again without him. One of the highlights include amazing cosplay as people really do it right at this show – there are just a few pics below of some of the better Hulk themed cosplayers.If you enjoy comic art, this is the show for you and I always enjoy hanging with my regular comic artsits friends like Lee Weeks, the creaturebox guys, Skottie Young just to name a few. Hanging with my good friend, and fellow Hulk enthusiast, Steve Yarish always makes for a good time and some great gamma related conversation. I have also met some others regular attenders at the show that have developed into good friends. On Saturday night we got to see an all out bidding war that saw a Mark Brooks piece for for $15,000 – a new Heroes auction record! My son scored a ton of sketches and I scored a great Maestro commission from an artist that was previously unknown to me: Alessandro Micelli. Alessandro is a great artist and I really enjoyed visiting with him at the show – highly recommend him if you are looking for some new artwork.
Oh, did I mention that we got to meet Stan Lee? Mark that one off the bucket list! Excelsior! ‘Nuff Said! It was nice for Stan to wear a nice Hulk colored sweater for the photo op.
