The Amazing Hawaii Comic Con returns to Honolulu for its second year with a full lineup of more than 150 exhibitors and 200 talented artists, plus a number of special guests.

Fresh off the Season 6 finale of “Walking Dead” on AMC, series writer and executive producer Robert Kirkman will be on hand at the Hawai‘i Convention Center to meet fans. Event co-producer Jimmy Jay also confirmed this week that Kirkman, who writes the comic book on which the hit TV show is based, will screen the debut episode of his new Cinemax series, “Outcast,” for the first time while on Oahu.

Kirkman will be joined at the con by DC Entertainment co-publisher Jim Lee, the artist responsible for titles like “Justice League: Origins,” “Batman: Hush” and “Superman Unchained,” and Chris Claremont, whose work developing “X-Men” characters like Phoenix, Rogue, Gambit and Mystique over a 17-year period was the basis for 20th Century Fox’s summer blockbuster, “X-Men Apocalypse.” Other special guests include another “X-Men” contributor, Scott Lobdell, voice actors from anime film “Dragonball X,” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” creator Kevin Eastman.

“How do you get bigger than (last year’s headliner) Stan Lee? That’s really tough to accomplish, but we’re proud of what we’re doing this year,” Jay said by phone from California. “These are the people who actually started these big pop culture movements, who created all these great characters, and they’ll all be on hand. You’re going to meet the people who originated all these classic story lines.”

The Amazing Hawaii Comic Con takes place May 20-22 at the Hawai’i Convention Center. Tickets are $60 for a three-day pass; individual one-day tickets and VIP packages are also available.
