Press Release
The Baltimore Comic-Con is thrilled to announce that fan-favorite creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner will be returning as guests to this year’s show, taking place the weekend of September 7-8, 2012 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Press Release
Amanda Conner, whose artwork for Before Watchmen is adding a new layer to the Wacthmen mythos, will be appearing at The Long Beach Comic & Horror Con scheduled for November 3-4 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
Or – “My Favorite Watchmen Character…”
Laurie Juspeczyk is a problematic character. She’s foul-mouthed, short-tempered, inappropriate, and highly flawed. In short, she’s the everyman glue that holds the extraordinary sorts of Watchmen together. While her story is reliant upon the other cast-members, the primary characters of the book become reliant upon her as well. Can the incredibly talented team of Conner & Cooke get her right?
It was delayed several months, but finally, the collected hardcover of The Art of Amanda Conner has arrived. Stephen thought it was so wonderful, that he ordered TWO copies. And since he is the generous person that he is, he’s giving one lucky Major Spoilerite a chance to take Amanda’s art home.
Which brings us to the MS-QOTD, “What character, or property, would you like to see Amanda Conner take over on an ongoing basis, and why?” You’ve got until May 07, 2012 to share your answer, at which point, we’ll pick our best answer to receive the prize.
GO!

Show Notes after the Jump!
Looking for something good to read this week? The Major Spoilers Staff has sifted through this week’s releases and have picked a number of books you might want to check out as well.
If you were wondering what DC had in store for the Before Watchmen series, the company discussed it this weekend at C2E2 in Chicago. Major Spoilers reporter Jimmy was on the scene and filed this report.
Most of the time, when we look at art from a specific artist, we only get the final image. Sometimes we are able to see a couple of images of the work in progress, but rarely do we get to watch the artist in action. Today, not only do we get a look at Amanda Conner’s Silk Spectre, but we get a time-lapse video of Amanda drawing the piece.
Press Release
The Baltimore Comic-Con is happy to welcome Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Billy Tucci to the still-growing line-up of talent for this year’s show. The show will be taking place the weekend of August 20-21, 2011 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Amanda Conner is providing the variant cover to Supergirl #58 that arrives in November. Her take on Supergirl’s first appearance is really great, and deserving of being featured in the Art Appreciation Moment of the Day.
When creators leave a series, there are two possibilities – the series goes out with a bang with everything wrapped up in a tidy bow, or every plot point and story line leaves the readers hanging as they are never resolved. As Palmiotti, Gray, and Conner prepare to depart Power Girl, they leave the reader with a really good feeling.
It’s the climax of the two part story arc that started on a distant planet, but ends up with Power Girl and Vartox getting hot and sweaty together, only then do they dine on a fine sausage before impregnating an entire planet. All in a day’s work…
