The announcement over on the Wizard World site is correct: I’ll be attending the Wizard World Convention in Texas this November.
Basically, it was real simple. They contacted me some weeks ago and asked me if I’d go. I said that as long as they were planning an Atlanta show opposite Heroes Con, I could not in good conscience accept their offer. I also said that, if and when the Atlanta show went away, I’d come to Texas. They subsequently pulled out, so I’m keeping my word. And no, this is not a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc. I’m reasonably sure they were going to pull out in response to the negative publicity, my attending Texas or no not withstanding. Me, I’m just pleasantly surprised. This is the first Wizard con they’ve approached me about…this century, I think.
Also, FYI, they’re doing a lengthy article about my work in issue #169 of Wizard, coming out late in September. Hunh. Maybe if you hang around long enough you get popular again. I will say this: The Wizard Fan Award statue I have for “Hulk: The End” is definitely the coolest looking trophy I have.
