It's finally here...the week of Baltimore Comic-Con 2012 is here! The crew here at Third Impact couldn't be more ecstatic and excited for the goodness to come this weekend. So to celebrate, we'll be giving highlights of what to expect at this year's Comic-Con. Let the countdown commence...
Stan, the Man, Lee returns to Baltimore and has even extended his stay to include Sunday until 4pm. VIP packages are still available.
On Saturday night, September 8th, the comic book industry, including professionals, retailers, and fans, will gather at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore to honor the 2012 Harvey Award Nominees for 2011 comic work and present the Harveys to their recipients. This is an exciting evening, highlighted by our host Phil LaMarr, keynote speaker Ross Richie, and a special appearance by Stan Lee! Harvey Awards tickets are on sale NOW at baltimorecomiccon.com/harvey-awards.
I'll be rooting for my fav Top Cow peeps for sure!
BCC always brings a slew of great panels, and I'm particularly impressed with the offering of the Marvel Boot Camp Seminar. Marvel SVP-Executive Editor Tom Brevoort will, for the first time ever, give a training lecture to the public, which he normally gives to the Marvel editorial staff explaining how Marvel editors think about the business of storytelling. There will also be inside secrets, tricks-of-the-trade, and - time permitting - a Q & A with Brevoort. You'll need tickets to this special event ($10) as seating is limited.
Attention fellow Lady Death fans! Not only is Lady Death creator Brian Pulido making an appearance at the con, but he, along with his fellow attendees Greg Capullo and Joseph Michael Linsner will be bringing 2 special issues. Lady Death: Judgement War #1 - Heavy Duty Edition features cover art by Greg Capullo and is enhanced with seven 1/4" heavy metal spikes and is limited to just 99 serially numbered copies. Lady Death: Judgment War #1 - Blood Red Skies Edition, art by Capullo and limited to 199 serially numbered copies, features a cardstock cover. Also premiering is Lady Death: Tribulation #1 - Blood Beach Edition, featuring a Joseph Michael Linsner cover and limited 199 serially numbered copies. After hearing this news, it didn't take long to put the Heavy Duty edition on my list!
I love my comics in all forms, and I am digging 215 Ink's exclusive for the con. 215 Ink will be unveiling a deal previously unheard of in the comic community, small press or otherwise: a fully functional Android 4.0 tablet loaded with the full line-up of 215 titles for just $99. Consider this on my list too...
These were just some of the highlights and the reason why I always cannot wait till Baltimore Comic-Con. It's the dedication to bringing the best, classic and modern, and above all, the obvious unrivaled focus of why we're here...and that's comic books.
So for now, check out the posted schedule and be sure to register for the con if you've been lazy and haven't done so already. And while you're at it, check out the wicked guest list, check those collections, and make your plans.
