I'm assuming your forum name means your a Batman fan?

Cameron Stewart who drew a few issues of Batman and Robin will be there. He previously did Catwoman with Ed Brubaker. Bring those to get 'em signed!

(Vertigo's The Other Side with Jason Aaron is my favourite of his work).

I'm a huge Batman fan.

Cameron Stewart is a fantastic artist! He came to do a lecture for my class a few years ago. I took a Comic Illustration and Writing post grad course in college. He was a really nice guy and offered a lot of good feedback to the classes artwork.

Of course now I just need to find a job in the field for myself...

If our company bails tomorrow I am so all over this with the kids.

This is some really awesome programming. If it wasn't Mother's Day on Sunday, I'd be bringing my niece and nephew to this.
