VA Comicon Adds Liefeld Transformers Variant
The Virginia Comicon had already announced a show exclusive, SL Gallant-illustrated G.I Joe cover. Now it seems like they’ve made it a Hasbro trifect. The long-running convention’s November 23-24, 2013 two-day show will have its own show exclusive covers for My Little Pony #12 and Transformers: Dark Cybertron #1.
The My Little Pony #12 cover is by show guest Dan Parent and will feature an homage to the Super-Friends with the ponies standing in front of the Stable of Justice (this variant will interlock with Awesome Con’s My Little Pony #11 variant).
The Virginia Comicon’s Transformers: Dark Cybertron #1 show exclusive cover will be illustrated by show guest Rob Liefeld, and it will be a variation on his own famous New Mutants #87 cover with Optimus in lieu of Cable.
“This is pretty awesome stuff,” an excited Brett Carreras, the show’s promoter, told Scoop
Last week Carreras and company announced that veteran comics writer-artist-editor Larry Hama (G.I. Joe) has been added to the guest list. Hama joins fellow G.I. Joe creators Herb Trimpe and Gallant on the guest roster.
The show already looks to be the largest Virginia Comicon to date as the show previously announced Deadpool, X-Force and Youngblood artist Rob Liefeld, Incredible Hulk artist and Wolverine co-creator Trimpe, and Top Cow Productions President Matt Hawkins as headliners.
The two-day version of the show returns that Saturday and Sunday at the Old Dominion Building at the Richmond International Raceway, 600 East Laburnum Avenue, Richmond, VA 23222.
Also on board will be acclaimed Archie writer-artist Dan Parent, Bloop! writer-artist Steve Conley, Archer lead character designer Sam Ellis, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe artist Pop Mhan, and former CGC President (and current Senior Consignment Director for Heritage Auctions) Steve Borock, and Scoop’s own J.C.Vaughn, among others.
This location has free parking, and it offers overnight RV hookups for $25. Hotels in the area average less than $60.
Additional information on the show will be available soon, but in the meantime you can check their site for the full guest list, tickets, special signings and other opportunities, and more.
The Virginia Comic-Con will also have a one-day show on September 15.
