Upstate Troy, NY will see some inevitably fun webcomic events on the weekend of January 16-18. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Genericon promises another year of panels and special guests, plus some new surprises. The small, intimate convention has been an annual gathering for anime, comics, and gaming fans for years. Check out some guests you can expect to see:

Pete Abrams of Sluggy Freelance
Randy Milholland of Something Positive
Ian Jones-Quartey of RPGWorld
Aaron Farber of Men in Hats
Meredith Gran of Skirting Danger
Samuel Early of Upstate
Plus, perhaps, a few surprise faces. Webcartoonists are unpredictable creatures.
