SDCC ’09: Julian Challenge Update: Julian WINS!

Editor’s Note: For those following Julian on Twitter, you already know Julian slam dunked the Major Spoilers Julian Challenge at the San Diego Comic Con.  We’ll have more on this on the next Major Spoilers Podcast, but until then, check out Julian’s Saturday diary.

Saturday at last came, and I’m happy to report that I was able to finally complete the Major Spoilers Julian Challenge.  That’s right, three days of blood, sweat, and tears finally concluded on Saturday with a final count of 56 signatures. So, who were the final participants rounding out the list?

I’ve got a lot of big names from Image Comics on this poster, but I think I’ll just start with one of their star artists Erik Larsen, creator of Savage Dragon, and Dead Pool creator, Rob Liefeld.

On the subject of illustrators, Humberto Ramos was the next signer who was followed by White Out illustrator, Steve Lieber.

Webcomic creators were also shown in force as Scott Bevan and Kent Earle, creators of “White Ninja” and Jojo of Dead Squirrel Comics were kind enough to sign the poster.

David Petersen, author and illustrator of “Mouse Guard” joined acclaimed inkers and colorists Laura Martin and Alex Sinclair.

I have been neglecting the Big Two publishers recently, so I made it a point to get Marvel Zombies cover artist Arthur Suydam and Captain America penciller Steve Epting to put their mark on the Major Spoilers poster. Artist Reilly Brown also took the time to place his name on the list of signers as well

“G-Man” creator Chris Giarusso was also one of the 50 some-odd signers along with “Teenage Mutant NInja Turtle Artist” Michael Dooney and “Bean World” developer Larry Marder.

Now I promised I’d talk about more Image Comics people and here they are: “Invincible,” “The Walking Dead,” and “The Astounding Wolf-man,” author Robert Kirkman joined artist Whilce Portacio and “Spawn” instigator Todd McFarlane.

But Julian, what if I want a complete list of all the people that signed the poster?
