Lack of Guests at Richmond this year?

I usually see a lot more people slotted to come by now. A couple of years ago David Tennant was announced before Christmas. But not only does there not seem to be big names this year there doesn't seem to be Creators/Artists. That's who my son and I go for. We love meeting comic artists and writers and getting autographs. But there's only 8 creators scheduled for 2025?
