Paper Hero Comics

Alright, let me get it out of the way… I will be going away for a little while. No, I’m not going to jail, and no one died – I just have some life-things I have to sort out. Since this is the third time I’m putting PHC on hiatus, I’m sure this shit’s getting old. Sorry about that. I will be back here as soon as I can. I honestly don’t know what form Paper Hero will be taking but the name and URL will be the same. Anyone who’s interested in checking in when I start up again, can follow me (john_rapone) on Twitter or Paper Hero Comics on Facebook. I’ll see you all soon.

Had a great time at the convention.  Met a lot of really wonderful people and saw a lot of art that made me want to chop off my left hand.  I was just telling a friend of mine that the nice thing about Heroes is that it’s all comics.  There’s no big media/gaming presence crowding the place, which makes for a very relaxed environment.  Even Marvel, DC and Image didn’t have their big booths set up.  That was definitely a factor in the laid-back attitude everyone had.

After the convention closed Friday night, Twenty-Two (a gallery/bar in Charlotte), hosted a party for the closing of SUPER: The Fine Art of Comics.  It was a show they had featuring original comic art from some pretty big names in the industry.

This was probably one of the best conventions I’ve been to.  Although, I haven’t been to a ton, I’ve gone to NY Comic Con four or five times and San Diego once – and this was, in my opinion, the best in terms of “comic” con.  I highly recommend it to anyone who has the chance to attend.  I wish I could go every year.
