The next Motor City Con in Novi, Mich., isn't until October this year. It's not very big anyway. The big one is in May.
But maybe the Michigan LWers could get together and make one. We'll bring some comics to look at in case you want to buy them, and I can sketch really bad pictures for you.
Or maybe we could just all do lunch.

Marvel is listed as an exhibitor this year so it could be that they actually have a booth this time out.
Olivier isn't mentioned on either the Artists' Alley or Guest list yet which either means he'll be appearing strictly with an exhibitor (which would likely be Marvel) or his apperance hasn't been finalized yet. I suspect the latter.
Thanks for research OM. I see Adam Hughes and Jeff Moy are listed. Jim Lee and John Watins-Chow has done some legion stuff. Any other Legion friendly folks?

I thought I'd bump this up for people to post what they got at San Diego Con. I didn't get a chance to scan my pieces in because I got in pretty late last night. I was able to see Adam Hughes, Tony Harris, and Olivier Coipel but missed Dan Jurgens and Chris Batista. Where oh where was Chris!?!

Yep, and thanks again for letting us know he was going to be there. QD! I was at the Marvel/Activision booth and saw who I thought was Olivier. I went over to talk to him and he said he was sketching at 4pm (Friday) so I made it a point to skip Jim Lee and be 1st in line of Coipel. More on my bi-lingual conversation with Olivier plus tard...

Someone at the Adam Hughes yahoo group said they got a great sketch of DREAM GIRL by AH! I'm anxiously awaiting the scan.... As soon as it's posted, I'll re-post it here (when permission is given).

Hey Dean, I think that someone at Adam Hughes' Yahoo group was me, actually
So the story behind this one: Adam's sketch literally fills up in the first 5-10 minutes of the first day of con and I wasn't able to get there till Friday. I happen to be lucky enough to catch Adam when he was doing quick headshots for folks to promote the book "The Ride". I asked for Dream Girl and Adam gave me this. I think he was going to add the star until he realized that the star was supposed to be on the other side of the face so he stopped.

Next, I went over to Tony Harris' table he shared with friends called "Fat Nake Rave" to see if Tony was still sketching at the time. He said his list was full but to try him later at the DC booth. I looked through his sketch pile and found this little gem for just $20! All the others were around $50+ so I think I lucked out:

After meeting the Legionworld folks on Saturday I headed over to see Stan Lee. After Stan, I ran back to the DC booth to catch Tony Harris. I was second to last person, but he was still able to crank out Brainiac 5.1 for me while we talked about his new book Ex-Machina and the funny spots on Brainiac's face:

Okay so not exactly Legion, but here's Olivier Coipel doing Nightcrawler!!! I was perusing the Marvel/Activision booth when I saw a guy that I thought I recognized as Olivier Coipel from a pic I found online. I went up to him to confirm and he told me he was going to sketch later on in the day. I came back and was first in line as we spoke about Matt and his yahoo group, about Legion and Paris and other stuff. He was super cool and super nice (as Ultra Matt and Querl Dox have already told us here). I told him I was both a Legion and X-Men fan and would let him pic who to sketch. He chose Nightcrawler so le voila!
That's it for Legion sketches, if you want to see my other new ones, including Beast Boy (sorta), Sewer Urchin Man, and that fish guy from Kirkman's Invincible check out my site.
