Roland is known best for his work in Spider-Girl, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men, & Ms. Marvel. We are beyond thrilled to welcome Roland back for his second consecutive year at Geek'd Con.

Not only is Roland an incredible artist, he's a Louisiana native, from the greater New Orleans area, which is why Roland made an incredible gesture at last year's Geek'd event, when he offered to make the profits from his Sunday sketches into a donation for the victims of last year's flooding in Southern Louisiana.

From the insanely popular Five Night's At Freddy's video game series,we have the voice of the title character Funtime Freddy, Kellen Goff, and the voice of HandUnit, Andy Field!

Kellen is the first, and only, person to be credited with voicing the title character in the #FNaF franchise! He made his debut in the series with the most recent release, Five Nights At Freddy's: Sister Location, which was released earlier this year.

In the latest installment in the #fnaf series, 'Sister Location', Andy lends his voice to HandUnit, who is your guide through the game. HandUnit quickly became a fan favorite as the game's comic relief. Some of the lines that have become internet phenomenons involve "Eggs Benedict", "controlled shocks", and "Exotic Butters".
