* that's a great list of special guests for Heroes Con in their anniversary year. Los Bros!
* Ann Arbor isn't slouching, with Raina Telgemeier and more. That's a kids-focused show and I'm surprised it hasn't been replicated a bunch of places. Seems like you could get a lot of heft from hybrids and kids' books with a heavy illustration element.
* Philadelphia is one of Wizard's 2-3 biggest shows anymore, it seems. Interesting to pay attention as to how they do.
* finally: for some demented reason, I keep forgetting to list MeCAF on my various events schedules. That's dumb. That's a fine show, and a major one for a lot of the younger alt/art cartoonists.
