New Section To Be Headed By “Kids Love Comics” Creators
This week Heroes Convention 2008, long known for its family-friendly environment, announced the creation of a special section of the convention dedicated to all-ages comics and creators! Headed by the respected Kids Love Comics group of creators, the section is tentatively being called “The Kids Love Comics! Garage,” in honor of Charlotte, North Carolina’s long association with NASCAR and the stock-car racing community.
HeroesCon is no stranger to comics for kids, being an early and ardent supporter of creator-owned books like Mark Crilley’s Akiko and Jeff Smith’s Bone. The convention has, since its inception in 1982, worked hard to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere, where both kids and their families can feel comfortable in a fun-filled environment. By teaming with the Kids Love Comics group, they have created a special area of the fan-favorite convention dedicated to just this idea, and headed by some of the most recognizable names in all-ages comics.
Kids Love Comics is a non-profit (status pending) group that promotes literacy through comics and graphic novels. They are an organization of professionals and patrons of the comic book, publishing, and children’s book industries, dedicated to making kids comics readily available to the general public through both new and traditional venues.
Creators who will be attending HeroesCon under the auspices of Kids Love Comics include: Jimmy Gownley, creator of the quintuple Eisner-nominated Amelia Rules; Josh Elder (Mail Order Ninja, Batman Strikes!); John Gallagher (Buzzboy, NASCAR Heroes), Rich Faber (Buzzboy, Roboy Red); and Scott Sava (Dreamland Chronicles, The Lab). They will be joined by an always-impressive lineup of all-ages creators, behind works including Archie, Scooby-Doo, PowerPuff Girls, and many more.
Fleshing out a record-breaking guest list and publisher lineup at one of the most fan-favorite comics conventions in the country, the Kids Love Comics Garage section of HeroesCon 2008 expands and reaffirms HeroesCon’s support of and dedication to all-ages comics. HeroesCon

Is NYCC encroaching on SDCC?
By Shawn Scott Smith| April 11, 2008 | Comments Off
Im looking at the growing guest list at New York Comic Con, and Ive got to wonder how long before all these media panels and guests start to water down the effect San Diego Comic Con has. Granted SDCC is huge, but in just a few short years of existence NYCC has grown by leaps and bounds. It makes sense that New York could have a huge media presence. In fact its a wonder that this convention wasn’t always around. Do you see studios opting out of Comic con in the future if the date of NYCC fit their plans better? Could it hurt to attend both? It can only be a good thing for east coasters, and maybe San Diego will get a little less media attention. Wouldn’t hurt the people who go there actually looking for comics.
