3 Rivers Comicon, May 11-12, 2019

[shevek]

Here's the report from Heroineburgh at 3 Rivers Comicon, which took place this past weekend in Homestead, PA in the old Macy's building.
The Con is sponsored by the local chain of comic book stores, New Dimension Comics. The owners are amazing guys who really care about the local scene.

Last year, we brought legendary writer/artist Bill Messner-Loebs to this Con, but this year we concentrated on running a theater room (Panel Room B) where episodes of Heroineburgh were shown for several hours, as well as episodes from Australia's Superhero Project (produced by Ava from this very forum!), episodes of the locally produced series Theo and the Professor, and various locally produced sci-fi, superhero and geek culture shorts. Of course, there were still plenty of comic book luminaries in attendance, including Ron Frenz, Robert Hack, Michael Golden, Josh Blaylock and more.

We sponsored Bella, who portrayed the character Caracal from Ava's series, Superhero Project. And many of our own Heroineburgh actresses were in attendance. On Day 1, we welcomed Red Gina (Jessica), Hellfyra (Sasaya), Sintilla (Alicia), Gardenia (Laura) and Darbouka (Tiffany), plus Mesmera (Devon) and Zinnia (Mary Beth) also helped us in civilian guise.

Caracal, Hellfyra, Red Gina and Sintilla combine for the most powerful lineup at the Con!

Day 2 was just as fruitful, as we continued to show both the Heroineburgh episodes as well as the other productions in the theater room.
We met some new creatives who we're going to work with in the near future, and also cemented an amazing deal with a local publication
which will be announced soon.

On the heroine front, Heroineburgh was well represented on the Con floor with Vaporia (Josalynn), Etherea (Maura), Jinniyya (Kirstin) and X-Machina (Serra) roaming around, answering questions about the series and distributing the stickers by amazing artist Jason Wright (including the new 'Antiheroineburgh #2') design seen below. A great conclusion to the Con!

Bella returned as Superhero Project's Caracal for a second day.

Jinniyya becomes friends with Etherea - it's the first time they saw each other since the big Heroine League conference in Episode 13.

Jinniyya and Etherea observe a temporary truce with violent villainess Vaporia - at least long enough for the photo opportunity.

Jinniyya can't take flight into the stratosphere while techno-engineer X-Machina is holding her down with her magnetic power suit and cute black boots.

Yes..with her Selina Kyle catsuit and mask, and her rubber paddle weapons, Sintilla (who debuted in Episode 14) is clearly our 'fetish' themed villainess. Alicia, the actress who plays her, is very adventurous and outgoing, as well as being a classic pop-culture nerd. Her background in go-go and burlesque dancing makes her perfect for the part, and she has no problem playing up the kinky and mischievious nature of her character.

However, the largest contingent that came out for Heroineburgh at the Con actually showed up for Gardenia (Laura), who brought her family and friends to see her debut in Episode 15. The theater room was fairly full for that particular showing.

As for Caracal, we may be working with the actress, Bella, for a joint Heroineburgh / Superhero Project production in the near future, so stay tuned to see if that pans out. Next on our list, however, is writing the script for Episode 16 (to be filmed in June/July) and getting the inaugural issue of the comic book (see the Comics subforum for samples) ready for two more Cons in July and August.

Thanks for the good words, batgirl1969!

Actually, "Caracal" is a place holder name, the one Bella will be playing is not going to be Caracal because Caracal team is basically refer to Maya and Yelena (Played by beautiful Ophir and Victoria) and the same way Lynx team is refer to Andy (or Andrea) and Anita (Annie). We will probably get another name for the Caracal Agent in US to which Bella will play.

Check your mail box soon, I am going to reply to your email later tonight when I have more time.

Also cannot wait until Spanova Sydney for our next collab

Thanks

Out of the blue, Alicia (the actress who plays Sintilla) just decided to post a photo she took in the dressing room right after suiting up for
Three Rivers Con. So here's a gorgeous 90s comic book style epilogue photo for the Con...and Sintilla will be coming up with us to Erie PA in July.
