Last year's offerings included main stage panels from our Indy comic creators, Anime voice and on-screen actors, and our veteran Marvel & DC editors, writers and artists. Other panels and seminars in the side rooms included topics like how to get your book published, how to create your own comic, how to vend or be an artist at conventions, discussions on the creative process, world building, using social media in pop culture, creating characters and costumes for cosplay, and many others.

What is a workshop? While panels are typically discussion based, workshops rely on attendees participating and learning by doing, whether that’s drawing, creating or building. In the past our workshops have typically revolved around creating comic books. This year you can expect to see a wider variety of offerings, including how to create cosplay pieces, board game design, and more.
