The WonderCon twitter account said Saturday and 3-day passes are sold out. Just Friday and Sunday available. Last year I got just Saturday tickets like two weeks before. This con is heating up.

Yes I just got my 3 day badges on Wednesday. Not sure why I waited so long, but it's good I got them when I did. Not sure I am even going to go on Sunday though, since we are taking our daughter to Disneyland that day. So I sure hope the Valiant panel isn't on Sunday!

Artist Alley and the Exhibitor list went up today on the Wondercon website. So for those of you who are into getting sketches, it's never too early to start your prep work for the con. The key to a successful con is to do a little planning so you can maximize the amount of sketches you want to get or be sure to get the one or two you want and be able to relax and enjoy the rest of the show!

I agree Jace and I am soooo excited that Brett Booth will be there! I know he is not everyone's cup of tea but he is probably number 3 or 4 all time for me!

Ron Lim hasn't done anything in awhile except cons. At least nothing that has been released, you'll have to ask him if he has something in the works. He is indeed a really nice guy. So is Brett Booth, I just talked to him last night. He is super busy with Flash so he won't be doing any commissions at the show but he is bring some pages and other art work. He also said he won't be there til about 2pm on Friday because his flight gets in a little later.

Also Daniel Correy from Moriarty is going to be there. I am sure that will make Chiclo very happy!

Jace thanks for the heads up... I won't lie a little disappointed about the commission but still cool to get him to sign stuff and just chat with him.

Ron Lim said he was busy doing a lot of work for Marvel actually back in August. But I don't think it was any of the big titles though.

He still owes me my commission or my $$ back though! :mad: Perhaps I should try attempting to contact him more than once in 7 months though. :oops:
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.

According to Comicbook DB he hasn't had anything published since August 2013, but I think he is working on the Thanos Annual coming soon with Jim Starlin

I actually don't have anything against Rob Liefeld. He tweets a lot about basketball but every time I think about unfollowing him he says something worthwhile about the comics industry.

Particularly next to Brett Booth, I almost kind of like Liefeld's art.

Absolutely! I would refer you to his work on Backlash, and the Heroes Reborn series (he did FF taking over for Jim Lee) or his Anita Blake series. Of course in the New 52 he did the teasers for Green Arrow and he did Teen Titans series. Brett has a unique style..I know a lot of people complain he is a Jim Lee clone but I would argue you can always tell the difference. My personal favorite work of his was Spider-Man/Backlash. He draws a awesome Spider-Man!
