Heroes Con 2014
 

So I posted a thread a few months back about Heroescon and how Kevin Eastman was going to be there.

Well I made it out, and decideed to forego waiting in his saturday line, and did the sunday one instead. It was much more lucrative as he not only signed a couple of my comics, but he did a couple small sketches on them.

Here he is signing my comics

Here are the signatures

The above is the FCBD reprint of Issue 1 from 2009, he drew a small Casey head on it.

Here is issue 4 with a basic turtle one shot.

I tell you one thing, he was one of the nicest dudes Ive met, so much more so than Laird was when I met him 9 years back. He even took the time to have a nice conversation with me and another buddy of mine about the Red Sonja painting I had won in the convention auction. Just a cool dude.

That's awesome. I got in his line on Sunday too. I missed his panel sitting in line but it was totally worth it. He was a really nice dude.

I know! I missed his panel as well :(

I wish I had had a blank sketch cover comic to use. He did an AWESOME Casey Jones drawing on his...I was mad jealous!

Looks like quite a few of us got to go.

That is where my current avatar is from, that Saturday. Stood in line for 4 hours but got the recent 30th anniversary special signed and got the pic not to mention ask a few questions. Even gave this site to an awesome fellow fan just ahead of me in line and he surprisingly joined us. Hope he will come again next year and that the Heroes Con people will be more prepared for the insane line. Check out Green Machine's thread about it.

That'd be me that MikeandRaph87 convinced to check this place out.

Man, I'll admit the con could have done slightly better in prep for Kevin being there, but ****, there's nothing they can do when the man ain't there when the show floor opened or that he was cutting out early to do a CGC signing. On Sat. the floor opened at 10am, Mr. Eastman wasn't there til about 11:15am. At about 2:30pm we learned that he was stopping at 3pm. We started to worry that we wouldn't make it before he cut out for the CGC signing. Luckily they made a cut off point in the line and he finished meeting all of us around 3:30pm.

I wanted to get more signed, but I just wasn't going to deal with that line again on Sun. I sure as hell wasn't going to get in line and wait until after his panel for him to get to his booth.

Nice guy and all, but he was slacking on getting to his booth on time and making the best use of the time that the con floor was open.

And I had planned to try to get my '11 IDW books all signed by him. But the two book limit, hella long line, and the time he was at his booth crushed that plan. At best I got 4 signed, the 30th Anni., Eastman IDW cover collection issue, IDW Annual, and Donnie cover of #1.

Really hope he comes back to Heroes Con next year. Hopefully with the help of some friends I can get way more signed.

THats some of the beef I heard from a few folks. I got through the line on sunday in like 40 minutes. My other buddy that got the Casey sketch didnt really have to wait more than 15.
