I'll just leave this here. Not unexpected... in fact it's expected, but still unfortunate.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user

I’m not surprised.

I just got a postponement for Texas Frightmare on Friday.

As much of a bummer as it is, a lot of creators and celebrities for any of those conventions are older and probably higher risk.

Like as bad as I want Alice Coopers autograph, I don’t blame him one bit for not wanting to be nears hundreds/ thousands of strangers with the current situation happening.

And I’d hate if he got something and died.

However, it appears there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so conventions will be coming back.

HeroesCon will be held this year, June 18-20. We should reach significant herd immunity by then, given the Biden administration's aggressive vaccination goals and rollout. Perhaps the biggest hurdle over the summer, vaccination-wise, will be the people who don't want it? Or resist getting it, or are hard to reach, for whatever reason.

But the convention will be held in Charlotte this summer, and it is a great one if you've never been. Guests this year so far include:

Jae Lee
Bridget Connell
Don Rosa
Joe Staton
Brian Stelfreeze
Mark Ward
Neal Adams
Michael Cho
Bob McLeod
Mike McKone
Bill Amend
Mark Bagley (Get those UF4's signed!)
Jeff Dekal
José Luis García-López (!)

It should be a great time.

Correction: that list is from 2020. Didn't notice that. They have not announced the first batch of confirmed guests yet.

@Tedsaid

I may be reading way too much into it, but I think what you just posted is the key.

There may be more of an appetite for convention goers to start attending conventions than there is for the celebrities to go for autographs, pictures and such.

However, June is a long way off, so here’s hoping.

Good news, and are we permitted to discuss politics and xxxxx-XX here now?

Edit from Jesse. Politics are NOT permitted. Coronavirus and covid-19 topics are allowed if they are passing comments.
