We're pleased, too, to today reveal that Ivan, Joe, and Rod will all be appearing at C2E2 as Official Guests, joining already-announced talents including Art Baltazar, Franco Aureliani, Gary Gianni, Mike Norton, and Tim Seeley. The three will be appearing on panels and conducting signings with fans at the show.

 

Not to mention, the guest list and the dealers not coming, make this sound like a very missable show.

[seanfingh]

 

Exactly. C2E2 was my favorite show last year. They need to step the guest list for 2011 up - post haste!

[Yodude]

TP-

 

Hang tight - we have some great stuff coming down the pike. People throttle it down between the holidays and unfortunately you and I want the whole enchilada right now.

 

Stay tuned.

 

Oh I forgot

 

HOW ABOUT THIS MOST AWESOME 2011 POSTER !!!!!! It's on high-gloss thick paper. No POS.

 

[TheWatcher]

So three months out and you don't have the full guest list announced. That's cutting it really close. Barely leaves you much time to get the word out and generate excitement & anticipation

[Yodude]

Love that flag man. Ya I know. I'm not in control of the news releases; I just lurk and grab hem when I see them.

Well, not the whole enchilada, but this time last year you had already announced a bunch of A-list guests that puts this years list to shame - it's real hard to be excited about a show when the only announced major guest is Bendis.

 

Btw, I know a ton of people complained about the VIP packages last year - what steps are you taking to ensure that they're actually worth the price this time around?

[Yodude]

Schmidt - we don't want it o suck. I don't know let's talk about it off-line.

Michael's right, my one beef with the show last year, is I felt like my VIP pass was a lot of money for nothing.

The show was great.

The guest list was awesome.

The venue was roomy.

I LIKED being in downtown Chicago.

But the VIP pass was, ehhh.

[mamatsch]

I completely agree and had the same experience. Absolutely loved the con itself, but I also felt like my VIP pass was a lot of money for nothing...

[taro90]

I actually wanted to make the trip next year. But seeing the guest list so far, I think I'll wait for NYCC.

[OD]

youdude, why aren't vip allowed in early that will be the whole reason i would get one just so i can get on artist list first like last year.

[Yodude]

OD-

 

I'll ask but to my recollection it has something to do with the building and contracted hours at the heart.

[seanfingh]

 

Just announced:

 

Paul Cornell (DC's Action Comics and Batman and Robin), Scott Snyder (Vertigo's American Vampire) and Doug Mahnke.

I am as well not impressed with the list...

 

I might stop in and grab a Gene Ha , Doug Mahnke , Joe Prado , Ivan Reis and Jenny Frison sketchs hopefully :shrug:

 

But there really isnt anyone I would make a point to be there for.
