Ready for some six-string superheroics? Promoter Jim Kilroy has announced a new Rock And Comic-Con show will be held Saturday, May 21 from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. The event will feature live bands, comics creators, and vendor tables selling music and pop culture collectibles. More details, including scheduled creators and bands, are to be announced.

The poster for the event features an illustration by local comic book artist Kevin Mellon. The image spoofs the iconic cover of the Kiss album, Destroyer, with Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Wolverine replacing Gene Simmons and the rest of the band.
