Well, the comic con is but two months away and I'm already drooling over the guests list o.O I KNOW I'm not the only comic geek on this forum, hence the thread :P
Here is the current guests list: http://www.calgaryexpo.com/guests.php
Was just wanting to spark some discussion, maybe share freebies sketches/comissioned works from previous cons, etc etc.
The artists that I am definitely lining up to see this year are:
Mike Golden. Need I say more? The man that helped CREATE my favorite X-men character (Rogue), and has worked on Iron Man, Dr. Strange, and a whole bevy of other pieces. Hoping to get an old-style (80's big hair, green/black uniform with the cloak) Rogue comission from him :D
Joe Ng. Awesome UDON Studios artist. Works on Street Fighter and did work on the GI Joe vs Transformers series (which a lucky beyonder purchased his series of 8 inked 11x14 bristols off me when I didn't have room to keep em)
Mike Choi. Those that know me know that I have a thing for the Witchblade series. So who better to see than a Witchblade penciller?
Also, gonna line up to see Jewel Staite (Kay Lee Fry from Firefly) and Tahmoh Penikett (Karl Agathon from BSG)
And to share some previous comissions/freebies that I got at Comic Con 2007 (I missed 2008 due to working that weekend T_T)
This is actually a FREEBIE done by a Witchblade penciller (Francis Manapul) and a guy that was trained directly by Michael Turner (RIP, the creator of Witchblade) for the Fathom series, Marcus To. There is a total of about 60 minutes combined work on this board. They drew it so bloody fast and precisely :eek:

Manpul's Pezinni on the left, To's Pezinni on the right
More from Manapul. Because he did his side of the Witchblade Duo poster totally for free, I felt it was fair recompense to buy one of his custom-cover sketchbooks and have ANOTHER Sara Pezinni done (Can you tell I love the Witchblade series? :D)

Joe Pekar's comissioned pencil sketch ($10, awesome awesome dude, great sense of humor) of his unique take on Rogue. I love his old "bubblegum girls" style of artwork, and he loves doing Rogue, so it was a very cool thiing to see him bang this one out in about 15 minutes.
