Robert Kirkman

Be frank with you....

 

I am really disappointed in Tony Moore. He refused sketches just now! I stood in front of him and was stunned. Walking away from his booth, I had his sketches on my books for three years until now at C2E2.

 

What's up with him lately? All I know is that he sued Robert twice!

 

Charlie and Robert! Go rock!

This isn't really new news. Tony hasn't really done fan sketches in years at Cons. He auctions a commission per day on ebay during his Con appearances (usually around $1k). There's been a few fans that lucked out and gotten quickie sketches at Cons when his booth is empty though.

 

Best way to get a sketch is attend Cincinnatti Comic Con which he is a founding member of or attend this FCBD appearance where he's sketching at. http://www.upupandawaycomics.com/

I believe that you may see Robert Kirkman at Image Expo, SDCC, and NYCC. That is probably the most he will do in 2013.

 

As for why he isn't doing more shows, I would think that the need to write several comic book titles on a monthly basis, run his own company/studio, work on a hit AMC TV show, and have a few minutes to spend with his family here and there would take precedence over signing overflowing piles of comics and visiting cons, but maybe that's just me.

 

As for Image Expo, I think more details would need to be announced before anybody can accept books in good faith of getting them done. This is a media event with some autograph potential, but not necessarily a "convention."

 

The descriptions I heard from people who attended the first one said that it was basically an autograph festival more than a comics show. If they get a similar guest list to last time it ought to be a great opportunity to get some multi-signed books and some more difficult creators.

 

Different kind of event the 1st time. Joel and I each facilitated the 1st show. It was a SS festival. Unlikely this time.

A FAQ has recently been posted:

Unfortunate.

The schedule for Image Expo shows 6 hours for panels and sig sessions, so maybe there is hope yet.
