Can you feel it in the air? It’s officially Comic-Con week, and we are happy to announce that for the first time ever, the N.O.C. will be in full effect in San Diego! In addition to seeing many of our guest contributors on panels and at booths during the show, we are also co-hosting a meet up with our friends at Black Girl Nerds on Saturday night! So check out everyone’s schedules and we’ll see you at the con!
We’ll get to everyone’s panel and booth signing schedules in a second. But the event I’m most excited for is the meetup I’ve been planning with Jamie from BGN! We’re looking forward to connecting with our readers and fans, so please come by the lobby bar of the Grand Hyatt on Saturday night and say hi! RSVP at the Facebook page and tweet with the hashtag #BGNOC. While you’re at it, check out Jamie’s SDCC schedule here.
You’ll also be able to find me on Racebending’s “Super Asian America” panel alongside actors Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Dante Basco (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Sumalee Montano (Beware the Batman); stuntman Ilram Choi (Amazing Spider-Man); and comic creators Greg Pak (Action Comics) and Amy Chu (Sensation Comics: Wonder Woman). We’ll be in Room 29AB at 3pm on Sunday.
