With a new year upon us, it isn't all that long till BABSCon rolls around once again! To prepare for that big event the staff of BABSCon are happy to announce the attendance of Heather Breckel and Christina Rice!
For the full presser, check on after the break.
BABSCon Gets Comical with Christina Rice and Heather Breckel
Stay awhile and listen, for BABSCon has not one, but two
amazing guests to announce this day!
San Francisco, January 12, 2018: Two
of the fierce fillies from the IDW Comics stable, Christina Rice and Heather
Breckel, will both be coming to see us—and hopefully all of you—at the end of March.
Since joining IDW’s talented herd, Christina Rice has made a name for
herself, giving us Lord Tirek’s origin story in FIENDship is Magic #2,
and providing stories for both Friendship is Magic (#s 30-31, 38-39,
55-56, and 59-60) and Friends Forever (#s 9-10, 18-19, 22, 27, 30, 33, and 36).
Her talents also extend to Old Hollywood biographies, and with the
well-received book, Ann
Dvorak: Hollywood's Forgotten Rebel, to her credit.
Meanwhile, Heather Breckel has
been working on IDW’s many My Little Pony titles since the beginning,
and it would be far easier to list the issues that she hasn’t colored than the
ones she has. Without her talented eye, the candy-colored world of Equestria
wouldn’t leap off the pages or the pencils of IDW’s artists sing a song so
sublime. Heather has also let her skills to issues of several Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles titles from IDW, stories in Marvel’s Spider-Man and Howard
the Duck, Katie Cook’s Gronk, and her own one-woman opus, The
Adorable Mini Adventures, among
others.
Christina and Heather join BABSCon 2018 Guests of Honor John de
Lancie, Kelly Sheridan, Trevor Devall, and Amy Keating Rogers, with several
more guest announcements yet to come. You won’t want to miss it March 30-April
1 at the Hyatt Regency SFO in Burlingame, CA. Register now!

About Bronies
Fans of the show My Little Pony use the word "brony", a
portmanteau of the words "bro" and "pony", though it can be
used for any gender. Typically, bronies are centralized around the current
edition of the My Little Pony franchise, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,
which was created in 2010 by Lauren Faust for Hasbro. Bronies are typically
between 15-30 in age, and majority male, but welcoming of all genders. The fan
community is known for its immense volume of creative output, including art,
music, comic, animations, and more. Beyond the creative endeavors, Bronies have
been noted for their charitable work, inspired by the values codified in the
animated series, and participate regularly in events to give back to their
local communities. It is the hope of many bronies to help add kindness,
laughter, honesty, loyalty, generosity, and a bit of magic to the world around
them.
