Folks, it’s that time of the year again!  The world’s largest convention for comic books (and other media) is upon us.  Announcements will be announced!  Special Features will be featured! Panels will be… paneled. And we’ll be there to cover it!  This will be my first San Diego Comic Con and I am as giddy as a mid-twenties giddy guy.  So, I’ve decided to share with everyone what will be expected of the upcoming event as well as any new announcements that arise as we head into July 22nd-25th.

Today, I will cover the special guests that will be present. These are the writers, artists, editors, janitors, authors, and creators of all of our favorite illustrated stories:
