Sorry about all of the updates! There is a lot happening now as we are 6+ weeks away from the show! The ad for the show ran in last week's Wizard magazine (Red Hulk or Angelina Jolie cover) and the flyers will start arriving in comic shops starting later this week! Keep an eye out for them at most comic book stores in the Toronto area!

 

As it is, the show must really be on people's radar as I just received word from someone Rodey asked about earlier today:

 

DAVE ROSS

Artist, Star Wars Dark Times (Dark Horse Comics)

 

Dave Ross has drawn for Marvel Comics and DC Comics on Captain America, Spider-Man, Batgirl, Star Trek, Daredevil, Birds of Prey, Alpha Flight, Avengers West Coast, Thunderbolts, JLA: Act of God, Excalibur and many other projects. He was also an artist for the series Rai at Valiant, and has worked as a concept designer and layout artist for animation. Dave Ross is also a teacher at Toronto's Max the Mutt Animation School. Dave is currently illustrating Star Wars: Dark Times for Dark Horse Comics.

JASON ARMSTRONG

Artist, Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus (Dark Horse Comics)

 

Canadian creator Jason Armstrong is currently illustrating the mini-series Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus for Dark Horse Comics with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. An accomplished writer/artist, Armstrong is the creator of the acclaimed 2005 mini-series Ferro City. He has also illustrated stories for publishers like DC Comics (Hawkman, Damage, Legion of Super-Heroes, Robin, The Ray, Showcase, Superboy), Marvel Comics (New Warriors, Avengers: United They Stand, Marvel Universe, Sensational Spider-Man) and Malibu (Mantra).

 

This is going to be one heck of a party! And the Secret Invasion #1 blank covers arrive in stores on APRIl 2 - I suspect I'm going to see a lot of those being sketched on at the April 12-13th Toronto ComiCON! The first major con after they are released at your favourite comic shop! You could buy 4 of those and get your free admission voucher for Sunday!

It's unfortunate that I have to actually state this, but...

 

All guest biographical information presented here and on the website ( www.hobbystar.com/upcomingevents/torontocomicon2008_2.html ) is either provided by the guest in the form of a direct, modified or updated public biography or has been written specifically for the Toronto ComiCON Fan Appreciation Event using widely available artistic credits. Copying, especially word for word copying, of biographical information prepared by the company without consent is internet plagiarism, a form of fraud.
