this show is bursting at the seams with talent. Very excited for it.

Will there be early ticket pickup anywhere, or just day of show?

Also some MASSIVE guests coming in Wave 2 next week.... this is everyone on the teaser flyer that's on its way to stores now.

Considering the level of these guests, that's quite an intriguing statement.

Outstanding start! many haven't been in Dallas in a good while. Very excited for Risso, Moore, Snyder, King, Meyers, heck all of em really.

looks like you're in luck:

Kevin Conroy ‏@RealKevinConroy Jan 19

Tomorrow: 12 superstar comic guests.

that's music to my ears!

(not that Hamill isn't great, he's an amazing guest, y'all are going huge this year)

Struzan's a great guest. That was one of my guesses when Kevin dropped the clue the other day, so I'm happy about that

feeling excited about today's announcement

not necessarily my thing, but the cosplay and the panels should be very interesting for this! That reunion is gonna bring in some people, no question about that.

Not a lot of "packages" this year. The Jim Lee one, that sketch opp I mentioned before, and that person may be joined by one other sketch opp.

 

I think people are going to insane over who we announce on Friday, and that's just another dozen or so creators of the four dozen plus coming this year. There's one person on the Friday list I've never had at one of our shows and I'm super stoked to meet.

 

which sketch op was announced?

none yet

I'll make a bold guess (in the spirit of possibly alternative facts) - along with Lee you'll bring Liefeld/McFarlane/Larsen/Silvestri/Valentine for an Image 25th anniversary panel!

guessing Sunday only, he's already been announced for another show on fri-sat

Kevin, that's a great addition, thanks

counting down, just 4 days til this show.

thanks, getting a few farewell tours at this show. Looking forward to Friday

Great guest list Mark! really excited about this show

Wonder if there'll be any more announcements this week, or if they'll be popping em out pretty quickly starting next Monday?

Way I see it, Every appearance is a bonus to the fans that haven't met him, or just want to see him again or get a picture --- the guy really does live for this, it keeps him active.

This. It might not be the most exciting announcement to a lot of us, but I love that he's still out there doing this and enjoying it. And he definitely puts on a great panel presentation.

Gotta love marketing departments making last minute changes. It's a start!

checks calendar "Is it Monday yet?"

Any prices or info on Hughes sketches yet?

This was on Facebook today: DALLAS COMIC SHOW UPDATE

Hi all; we're about one month out from the Dallas Comic Show on February 11th & 12th, Adam's first comic con appearance of 2017. I've been getting quite a few messages asking about Adam's plan for commissions during this show. I'll be posting about 2 weeks out from the event IF Adam will be able to take commission requests, and if he can, when we will be taking the list. If he does take requests, we'll be doing it here, through Facebook, just like we have for past shows. So mark your calendars, I'll have more new for you on January 29th!

See you all in Dallas!

" And there may be more!" You're killing me already! Great guest list

Thanks, I'll be ready for that then

from a non-vendor perspective, I'm really looking forward to the guest list and the show. It's a busy first half of the year in Dallas for shows, but I know this one will be big and have some good names. I've had my problems with guest lists in the past, but I've also traded some messages with Kevin and believe he really cares about giving everyone the best list of guests possible. I also think that by cutting out the extra show in Dallas and hopefully rolling that budget money into this one, it'll be a better experience all around.

I'm as anxious as anyone else to see some names and get to planning, so I will ask Kevin this question, without naming names of course, is there the potential for any of the comic guests to have a package like Miller had last year that I might need to set aside extra money for?

I agree that they seem to drop the comic guests all at once. So, I am not too worried about that. I am curious as to the media guests. Im surprised we haven't seen more yet. Next month will be key. Sounds like thats when we will get announcements.

 

Its important to know asap since many of us prepare for cons months in advance and make plans on purchases, who to send books to for which cons and so on. I am already making plans for spring/summer.

 

If I know a creator or media guest is going to be in town, I won't send out the books I want signed to a facilitator.

It will also be nice to ASAP since there is a show per month in Dallas starting next week and going through April. Gotta figure out the budget.

 

Comic guests start rolling out in early January along with the big celebs. Wondercon hasn't affected bookings for my section, and some of the comic guests are from the west coast.

 

sounds good, look forward to the announcements.

Wondercon in Anaheim is the same weekend, so much for getting a date that didn't conflict with another big show...

Are there dates that don't conflict anymore? seems like there's a big show somewhere every weekend.

Wondercon is already announcing guests though, and they have some pretty good ones.
