Mid Ohio Con 2009

[Mike Bray]

finally an update on the web site -- and its the con rates for the hotels .... this is getting disappointing quick .. they could at least announce somebody or something ..... why would i want to go and book my hotel when i know absolutely nothing about the show yet ..

[Buck Biggins]

I agree. Its becoming a joke.

I don't think I will go this year. Baltimore and NYC are the two weekends after this respectively.

I don't know whether I am happy or sad.

Either one works for me.

David Mack

Todd Nauck

Josef Rubinstein

Lots more guest announcements to come!

 

I'm personally excited to see Joe Rubinstein on the list, because I've never met him. He has inked some of my favorite comics. I also haven't seen Marv Wolfman since the 1984 Chicago Comicon, so that will be cool. And it's always great to see Bernie Wrightson, Tony Isabella, Joe Jusko, and Herb Trimpe! (And my step-daughter loves the $1 sketches from Art Baltazar!)

 

Hopefully there are some big names yet to be announced!

Its an okay list but not as good as last years. I'm hoping some bigger names are added.

Bernie Wrightson

Joe Jusko

Todd Nauck

Josef Rubinstein

Mark Texeira

 

These guys are all new and very solid. But no real "Wow" additions like last year when they had Alan Davis.

I agree.

[Mike Bray]

they put up a floor diagram for 2009 on the website -- looking at last years floorplan it looks like about 20 fewer booth this year ........

[Mike Bray]

well , well -- they announced another guest -- Fred Hembeck come on guys -- I loved the show last year but am rapidly loosing interest this year -- last year I bought a booth , I believe in April , and this time they still dont have any dealer info listed

[comiccitytn]

wow maybe they will add the back up inker from slapstick

Barry Kitson has been added.

 

Doesn't mean much to me, but I know that he is popular among people who follow modern comics. He had a huge line there 2 years ago.

[Buck Biggins]

Pirate will be going for sure now.

+1

 

The show just picked up big time.

 

Barry will be coming in from the UK the day before the show and right afterwards will head to Baltimore for the week and then head home right after the con. Was really nice of him to add Mid Ohio with his very busy schedule. Plus he doesn't charge for sketches.

P. Craig Russell has been added to the guest list.

 

Always great to see him. Love his artwork!
