I do know who from Valiant will be at the Rose City Comic Con

Rafer Roberts

Matthew Clark

Matt Kindt
David Baron (Good possibility of getting double signatures on Divinity comics)

Slightly off topic, Jet City Comic show will have
Matthew Clark and Fred Van Lente (perfect for Generation Zero sigs)

Suddenly I find myself scheduling a quick trip to Portland

Sucks balls for me big time. I've been trying to get Valiant for a year to come to Vancouver in November but they will be at a different con so yay me. Wonderful!

I'm sure you're not the only one. I've been asking them to come to my local con that has over 100,000 people attend for years. I don't reasonably expect that they will. What good does it do to complain? It seems to me they already do much more for their fans than most other comic book publishers.

As Rose City is during my wife's birthday, fat chance for me. I just asked again.

Jet City is looking likely!

Why are they going to the GameStop con?

It's video games?

Anyone????

See what you mean. Most of the crowd will probably sit and play games. But some could be interested in comics. There is a part of the floor dedicated to collectibles. And maybe it's a chance to find new retailers? In Sweden game shops like GameStop also sells mugs, bobble-heads and similar. Why not comics?

Na, if they were going to make an announcement, wouldn't they do it at the NYCCC? That is their back yard, and it would be easier to get media attention in your own back yard.

Betting we see something happen in early October....

Your right It does nothing to complain and I'm sorry for my outrage but it's a huge disappointment for me. It's such a huge disappointment I now don't even want to go to Vancouver fanexpo now. I can save that money for something else. Perhaps me and the girlfriend will go skydiving instead. Would be cheeper.

Bored here at work, thought I would look up some of the Valiant artists and storytellers that will be visiting the Cons....

Cary Nord (may be more, it was the only one I saw)


Friday, September 2nd – Sunday, September 4th
Baltimore Comic-Con 2016
Baltimore Convention Center
Baltimore, MD
Sean Chen
Matthew Clark
Jeff Lemire (Friday only)

I am sure everyone and their mothers


The others still have a good deal of time before their Cons, so it wouldn't be worthwhile.

I just thought of something. Jason David Frank has been teasing a connection to Bloodshot. Ed has said all of our guesses as to what project he's working on have been wrong. What if he's voicing Bloodshot in a video game that they're announcing at GameStop Expo? I don't think that's been guessed yet. That convention would be the place to announce it.
