Hey Donnie,

I am working on it.  We added about 90 new guests to the website a couple weeks
ago and I'm working on another update, but some of the stuff I REALLY want to
announce I can't yet.  But I promise some new guests this week and some BIG
announcements in the coming weeks.

The only reason I am asking is because I didn't see any people that have been
regulars for the past few years i.e. Tucci, EBAS, etc.

Hello!  I'm new to the group myself.  I've been to one Pittsburgh Comicon, just
this previous fall in fact.

I'm planning on going to the one this spring.  And if all goes well, I'll be
dressed as The Mighty Thor himself!

Nice to meet you!  Looking forward to browsing around the message boards :)

the importance of getting your advanced 3 Day Passes.  They get you in a
half-hour early and give you a leg up on getting on those sketch request
lists!!!!!!  "-Oh to own a Brother Voodoo by Gene Colan-my heart is all a
twitter")

-  BUFFY FANS can look forward to Pittsburgh's Own, CAMDEN TOY.  Camden, a good
Pittsburgh boy, has portrayed such Buffy/Angel Villains as: one of the Lead
Gentlemen from Hush, The Gnarl and The Ubervamp from Buffy season 7 and the
Prince of Lies from the Final season of Angel.   We're thrilled to bring Camden
Back Home to attend the 2010 Pittsburgh Comicon (Also Buffy Fans, particularly
fans of the Buffy Comic, stay tuned for some exciting news about Comicon 2010 in

and able for 2010, including
  David Mack and Steve Scott.

-  Ghost Rider creator, Gary Friedrich had such a good time at his first
Pittsburgh Comicon in September, he couldn't wait to come back in 2010.

-  and some of my personal favorite guests: Jay Fife, Jamie Fay, David Bancroft
and others are returning in 2010. (never let it be said that I'm not willing to
shill for my friends!)

Yeah, that's big news!  But, Gene's getting up there, so it's no guarantee that
he'll be con sketching.

Pat, did you mention Joe Sinnott in the email, that's great news too!

We announced Joe Sinnott in early December.  (I had to go back through my
updates to be sure, but yes we did announce his appearance and we're very
excited about Joe.)

I'll have more news hopefully by Friday.

ASPEN ADDED TO PITTSBURGH COMICON 2010

--------------------------------------




Greetings Pitt-Con Posse,

I have a quick but important update to get to, so without further notice:

We're adding around 20 new guests this week including:

An Entire Crew from ASPEN ENTERTAINMENT.  Aspen has added Pittsburgh to its 2010
ASPEN COMICS TOUR,

Appearing from Aspen are:

Aspen President & writer of Shrugged and Dellec, FRANK MASTROMAURO

Heroes, Shrugged, and Soulfire:Dying of the Light Artist, MICAH GUNNELL

Artist of the New Mindfield, as well as the recent Batman Annual and Gotham
Gazette, ALEX KONAT

And as we already reported, Soulfire and Executive Assistant, Iris Artist, JOE
BENITEZ

ASPEN is looking to make a big Splash at the 2010 Comicon , Don't You Dare Miss
It.



Also I reported in the last update that fans of the BUFFY comic could look
forward to some big news, well here it is:

JO CHEN the cover artist of BUFFY SEASON EIGHT is attending the 2010 Comicon.

Jo's renditions of Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies  are truly stunning and we
are ecstatic to have her in Pittsburgh.

For a full list of guests including all the new additions for 2010 visit
www.pittsburghcomicon.com

We also added two great pieces to the Auction Page this week including:

The preliminary pencils to the 2010 Pittsburgh Comicon T-Shirt by Glenn Klimeck

(the art is current being inked by Bob Almond and as soon as its back I'll put
up the inked version, but go check it out to see a preview of the 2010 T-Shirt.)

Also added to the Auction Page this week is a great piece by FOC (friend of con)
Jay Fife.  Jay is a favorite of the Pittsburgh fans go check out his Joker and
Harley piece for this year's auction.

I'm currently working to finish the 2010 Comicon Mailer which will go out in
early March, so you'll soon have more great guest announcements and the 2010
Schedule of Events coming soon!!!

I'm planning on being there either Saturday or Sunday, probably Saturday. Again
I'll be going in costume...my theme for this year is ...wait for it....the
Pittsburgh Pirate. Not the sports team, but the scourge of the Three Rivers.
Cheesy I know, but sounds great to me. I'm not looking for any particular
issues, but sketches. I'm always somewhat afraid to ask an artist for a sketch,
except Jim Balent. But I'm going to get over that little fear this year. Is
there anyone I should look for in particular?

Cpt. William Crites of the Minnie Pearl.

Balent is awesomefor doing sketches.  I haven't had any real problems with
getting sketches from anyone.  The only problem I have had was that their list
fills up too quickly.  I always tried to get one from Caldwell but his list was
always filled.  I also know what you mean by attitude from some artists like
Linsner, Deodato, and Frenz.  But at this show  I'm going for Balent, Medors,
Aspen and Top Cow crews, McDaniel to name a few.

Palimotti and Amanda Conners would be there they are great too..And while your

don't think he will be there..Tim Bradstreet cool guy don't think he will be

A couple of years ago he had a "special".  Buy Dawn 3 Tiers HC and get a free
sketch.  I bought one while he was at a discussion.  So I came back and had to
basically squeeze blod from a stone to get anything.

C'mon give Hughes some credit.  He has a loooong line waiting for commissions. 
I can understand having certain signing times so he can get them all done over
the weekend.  As for JML, he just sits there and does nothing.
Another one I ran into last show was Frenz.  I was getting some things signed. 
A kid, about 9 or 10, was in front of me and wanted to get a little sketch of
Capt. America on a backing board.  He complained about people wanting to not pay
for sketches.

Oh don't get me started on signing.  I remember the first show I went to about 5
years ago and Bendis was there. I was fourth in line and it took me about 45
minutes to get 3 books signed.  The person that was second had 2, yes 2, LONG
boxes of books for him to sign.  And it wasn't like it was a whole run of
Ultimate Spiderman.  It was multiple copies of a few books like 30 New Avengers
1, Ultimate Spiderman Annual 1, etc.

As for Frenz, I can't really blame him if it was an adult, but a kid?  And I
love the choice of artists this year.  I am a huge Top Cow fan so meeting
Benitez and Queen is great.  Also meeting Balent and Holly is always enjoyable. 
Also the free sketches Balent does are great.  I still have all my sketches and
will never sell them.

comicon since 2002 and every dealing I had with Frenz has been a really good
one.  I always thought he was a class act.  Me and my son have received many
quick sketches from him.  Great guy!  I think a lot of artist are cautious to
do detailed FREE sketches these days because so many folks turn around the next
day and post it on ebay.  Kind of the same thing that killed getting FREE
autographes from athletes.

him.  He's always been cool to talk to and he even did a free sketch for my

received a sketch.  I was even first in line.  I hate how he jumps around on
his list, so you never know if you are going to get a sketch.  This ties up
your money all weekend, where i could have gotten another commission or bought
Amazing Spidey 129.  I rather Hughes just cut off the list and say sorry
i'm booked this weekend.

you are standing in line to get some comics signed and the person in front of
you has a short-box of comics that needs signed.  I really think if there a
line for that artist, there needs to be a limit on signed items.  I've seen a
few artist do this.  I have no problem you getting 10 things signed, and then
go get back in line.  I just had it because you know those folks are just
getting the books signed to re-sale.
