WebComic Hotness at Baltimore ComiCon


On September 9th & 10th, 2006, at Baltimore ComicCon, get ready to feel the heat of the hotness in the WebComic Hotness Pavillion.

The Webcomic Hotness was created as a way for webcomic creators to share the work of their peers and have a centralized location for people to find their favorite webcomics. A dozen creators will be sitting side-by-side at the Baltimore ComicCon to promote webcomics. So if you are a webcomic enthusiast, or are wondering what all the fuss is about, Baltimore will have your one stop shop for a perfect sampling of creators.
