The guest list for Atlanta’s Dragon*Con is always long (and this year’s is no exception) with someone interesting for fans of any genre. While everyone will have their favorites, I just thought that in addition to the recent addition of comics legend Stan Lee, I would highlight a few of the names that stand out to me for 2010:
- Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings)
- Morena Baccarin (Firefly/Serenity, V)
- Avery Brooks (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
- LeVar Burton (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
- Erica Cerra (Eureka)
- Daniel Cudmore (Twilight, X-Men)
- Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
- Larry Hagman (Dallas, I Dream of Jeannie)
- Linda Hamilton (Terminator, Beauty & The Beast)
- Stan Lee – comic book legend
- Kellan Lutz (Twilight)
- James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Smallville)
- Mike McKone (Teen Titans, Avengers Academy)
- Mike Mignola (Hellboy)
- Jason Momoa (Conan)
- Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica)
- Adrian Pasdar (Heroes)
- George Perez – comics legend
- Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes)
- Elisabeth Rohm (Angel, Law & Order, Heroes)
- Michael Shanks (Stargate SG-1)
- Marina Sirtis (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
- Shawnee Smith (SAW)
- Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, Andromeda)
- Chaske Spencer (Twilight)
- Brent Spiner (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
- Jewel Staite (Firefly/Serenity, Stargate: Atlantis)
- Sam Trammel (True Blood)
- Laura Vandervoort (Smallville, V)
Who else do you think is a highlight?
I consider Robert Beltran a highlight, especially since he hasn’t been in at least 5 years.
Good one! He almost made my list.
You must not have seen their huge comic guest list yet. The comic guests have mostly been announced on facebook so far but they are confirmed:
Neal Adams!!! (my favorite artist ever)
Paul Smith
J. Scott Cambell
Kelley Jones
Tim Sale
Olivier Coipel
Darwyn Cooke
Jimmy Palmiotti
Amanda Conner
Ethan VanSciver
Peter David
Dan Brereton
Tone Rodriguez
And, my favorite celeb this year is Luke Perry who was amazing in Jeremiah!
Actually, here is the link from their website for their comic guest flyer:

No, I hadn’t seen that list. They definitely have some greats like Neal Adams and J. Scott Campbell. Funny that they don’t have them listed on the main Dragon*Con site yet.
This is absolutely the best lineup of comic book guests at any convention in Atlanta as long as I’ve been here. It is going to be the comic con I always wanted Atlanta to have. The new Wizard Atlanta will have a hard time competing with this year’s Dragon*Con comic book lineup.
