This morning, I’m happy to announce the first wave of guests for Amazing Comic-Con Aloha! taking place from February 22nd to 24th 2019 at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu. You might remember the convention was originally taking place in August, but due to safety concerns arising from conditions surrounding Hurricane Lane, the con was moved to a later date. Many of the original guests are set to attend plus a number of additional people set to be announced in the coming weeks.
However, while we might have to wait to get the full list of attendees, I’m excited to announce Amazing Comic-Con Aloha! is going to be the first place that all four original The Infinity Gauntlet creators, artists and writers (Jim Starlin, George Perez, Ron Lim and Joe Rubenstein) will appear together since the inception of Infinity War back in 1991! These four comic book legends have created and contributed some of the most diverse and dynamic characters with an endless list of credits and they’re going to be signing and speaking at the con this February.
Here’s more information about the guests and con via the press release. Collider is the exclusive media partner of Amazing Comic-Con Aloha! and you can expect more updates as we get them.
