Head of the Swing Shift
I could spend all night posting the following bits into each TV show thread, or just post the whole list here. Mostly guests from TV shows and movies, but haven't heard too much about COMICS, the reason for this convention. Anyway, this is from TV Guide online. And since it is too long for one posting, I'll split it into 2 parts.

Haha, I get this on my tv and I'm watching to see Gerard Way for his comic book The Umbrella Academy. I'm really excited. In case anyone else is wanting to watch, it's airing on G4.
 
Wait! Supernatural Comic Con without Jensen and Jared ... I do love Misha ... but that's just crazy, they're the stars ... why aren't they there :shifty: maybe they're coming at a later date ...

I've been to a couple of the Comic Cons in the past ... and absolutely loved the Supernatural and Smallville panels, always fun to watch those. Good to see Justin Hartley is involved ... he's such a clown :lol:
