I attended this conference a few years back, shortly before The Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel came out if memory serves. It's a really good one. Robert, beloved by the comics community, will be there to speak about his monthlies and his debut children's novel.
Mr. Venditti will be speaking on panels, doing signings, and sitting at his very own table at Tricon Columbus.
Anderson County Library in Anderson, South Carolina, is hosting what is sure to be a VERY COOL event. Cosplay and fan art contests, a vendors' alley, and some great guests, including the magnificent Robert Venditti. Rob will be on hand to talk about Attack of the Alien Horde (as well as Green Lantern and the Flash, I'd wager) and sign stuff.
