PHOENIX COMICON 2007 (26-28 Jan 2007) Phoenix, Arizona
PHOENIX (Jan 2007)
In a word: Impressive.
(excerpt)
Also, the Hero Initiative had amazing success with the art
auction, guest lunch auctions, donation jars and 'opt in' donations for
ticket sales raising in excess of $7,000.
George Perez was the main draw (as this was one of his last Con
appearances before a long break, to focus on his new monthly book), and
the bevy of other guests nothing to sneeze at: Mike Bullock; Len Wein;
Mike Mignola; Jim McLauchlin: Mike Stackpole; Shannon Denton; Marat
Michaels; Steve Rude; the very sweet Noel Neill; and several other
people without Mike in their names.

Ok, so a couple of weeks ago was the Phoenix Comicon. As you may
remember from back in September, I was on staff for last year's con.
Well, this year, not so much. Which was AWESOME!!
(excerpt)
11:00 rolls around and they start the drawing. 7 people are called 6
people claim their place in line. They had one more slot to fill, so
they call off the final number, and guess who's holding it in their hot
little hand? Yeah, ME! W00t! So we fork over our $50 and are told by
Brian Pulido to come back later today to retreive our sketch.
Earlier this year, George Perez announced that he
would only make three convention appearances between now and 2009.
Pink Ragyun, the Webzine for Fangirls, was lucky enough to get some
time with him at the Phoenix Comicon in January 2007, the first of
his last three appearances.
The interview, titled "George Perez: Comics Romantic", will run as
Pink Raygun's feature article on Valentine's Day, February 14th, 2007.
George Perez is the comic artist behind several landmark comic
projects including the DC-Marvel crossover JLA/ Avengers, the 1987
reboot of the Wonder Woman franchise, and the 1980 revival of The New
Teen Titans.
On his website, Mr. Perez states that he made the decision to limit
his convention appearances due to his monthly commitment to drawing
The Brave and The Bold for DC Comics. Mr. Perez also wants to devote
more time to his wife of 25 years and her pursuits.
Pink Raygun is the webzine featuring news, reviews and interviews for
fangirls. . . and boys. Pink Raygun is dedicated to providing women
a smart and savvy, yet girly, place to discuss and read about science
fiction, fantasy and horror in all of their forms, be it television,
movies, books or comics.
This is the extremely limited MEDIEVAL LADY DEATH PHOENIX CACTUS COMICON
2007 PREMIERE PREMIUM EDITION showcasing this awesome new GEORGE PEREZ
cover for the first time! There are only a total of 50 of these made in
the world and this features an official gold stamp as well as the
signatures of both GEORGE PEREZ (known for his AVENGERS, TEEN TITANS,
JLA, & CRISIS books) and writer and creator BRIAN PULIDO signed in
bold black ink side by side. It is highly unlikely you will see this
anywhere else as most copies were bought up at the con by serious
collectors. This is in brand new near mint/mint condition and makes for a
very nice LADY DEATH collectible.
George Perez is tackling his first monthly title in three years with DC
Comics' The Brave and The Bold, which launches next month.
"It took me a few pages to get back into the monthly grind, but I'm
having a great, great time," Perez said last weekend at the Phoenix
Cactus Comicon in Mesa, Ariz.
Perez reiterated that the title, written by Mark Waid, will not be a
"Batman and..." book, although Batman and Green Lantern are featured in
the first issue.
"I recently drew a cover that had Supergirl with a cycle chick outfit and on a spacecycle, dragging Lobo in tow," Perez said.
"I don't know about the plot of that issue because I do the covers in
advance, but I love that Mark Waid is throwing me all these curveballs."
Perez said that a convention appearance in Pittsburgh in late April will be his last until 2009.
Big names like George Perez
and Mike Mignola drew high numbers of fans without ever making things
too hectic. "There's always been a line, but never one of those crazy
lines," Mignola explained. "It's nice to stay busy, but not so busy
you're fighting to get through a crowd. It's definitely a smaller
convention than I'm used to doing, which is nice because you get to
actually spend some time talking to the fans."
I had a few different things I was trying to accomplish. First, I had to
get some sketches for my daughter. Normally, she would have been able
to go with me herself, but we found out on Friday that she had strep
throat. So, as she does for the out-of-town cons, she made a list of the
things she would like to have in her sketchbook.
(excerpt)
But considering all the things he's drawn in his life, it's always
exciting to hear George Perez say "I guarantee you I have never drawn
this character before!"
George was particularly proud of the pun on the press pass.
Item! George Perez seems like a particularly joyful fellow.
While we were waiting in line, he came out and signed autographs. He
said (cheerfully) that if we had to stand outside in the cold (Arizona
cold, mind you, so it was probably in the high 40s, but still - no fun
to stand around in if you're not wearing a coat), he should come out and
sign some stuff. I got nothing signed because I had only a book I was
reading, and it wasn't written by George Perez. Three guys standing
behind me in line had never heard of George Perez. They're going to a
comic book convention and they've never heard of George Perez? Really?
George Pérez will be doing a special signing at CGC's booth (#65-66) at
the Phoenix ComicCon. The event is scheduled for Saturday, January 27,
2007 from 11AM until Noon to benefit The Hero Initiative. All comics
signed by George Perez at the CGC booth will be eligible to receive the
prestigious CGC Signature Series label. CGC's goal is to raise at least
$100 for The Hero Initiative with this signing otherwise they will make
up the difference!
A comic industry icon, George Pérez has worked on such great comics as
Avengers, Fantasic Four, Iron Man, New Teen Titans and Justice League of
America. He has currently released George Perez: Storyteller.
Denton is the co-publisher and creative director of the popular new line
of juvenile fiction novels called Actionopolis. In addition to that
he's the writer of numerous comics currently being published by
Desperado/Image, Arcana and TOKYOPOP.
"I'm in good company this year with the likes of big name guests like
Mike Mignola, George Perez, Jeff Mariotte, Howard Chaykin, Andy Kuhn,
Brian Pulido, Mike Stackpole, James Owen and Len Wein among others."

"The Hero Initiative is one of
the best things to happen in comics in years--and I'm proud to do my
part to keep it alive," said Howard Chaykin.
Hero benefit Ebay auctions for lunch with George Perez and Mike Mignola and the Hero booth schedule will be announced soon!
The Hero Initiative creates a financial safety net for yesterdays'
creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for
essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance
for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so
much enjoyment. For more information, visit www.HeroInitiative.org or call 310-909-7809.
Just realized I should probably mention that I'm going to be one of the
comics guests along with my old buddies George Perez, Mike Mignola and
Steve Rude (among others to be named later) at the Phoenix Cactus
Comicon the last week of January, specifically January 27-28. I'll
remind everyone when it gets closer to the date, but if you happen to be
in that area that particular weekend, drop on by and say hi.
Raven Gregory
I spent my weekend in Mesa Arizona. I was a last minute addition to the guest list for the Phoenix Cactus Comic-Con.
(excerpt)
Matt Solberg and his crew put on an incredible show, one I sure hope to
be invited back to in the future. They already have a second one planned
for January with Mike Mignola and George Perez on the guest list. This
is definitely a show to keep an eye on.
