Taking place this weekend, June 7-9, in Charlotte, NC is HeroesCon 2013. Many comic book professionals are very coy about their love for the show because it’s one of the most creator-friendly and ‘truly about comics’ conventions in America. Some of them have even come out and said that they much prefer it to the big boys like San Diego Comic-Con International, Chicago’s C2E2 and NYCC because of that.
Comics being front and center is exactly the reason why you’ll find one of the best Artist Alley’s in the country at HeroesCon, and it shows in the commission art that’s been making its way to the interwebs.
Here’s a selection of the awesomest of awesome:
