FRIDAY AUGUST 31
4pm ROOM 701A – Writing For Comics Roundtable
So you want to be a comic book writer? Or maybe you’re just interested in what makes them tic.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1
2pm ROOM 715B – You Down With OPP? Working With Licences and IP.
Licensed board games have always been sort of a mixed bag – the games were typically not great, hoping to cash in on sales from the intellectual property alone. With today’s discerning fandoms, that is no longer the truth. Meet some of the industry pros who are working with many of the best properties available to create games worth playing for fans of the license and gaming alike!

4pm ROOM 714B Creator Resource: A Conversation Around Creator’s Rights
Creator rights has long been one of the most contentious issues in comics, and earlier this year a team of creators came together to try and encourage more transparent conversations about rights, ownership and payment in comics. This panel will focus on what the aims of Creator Resource are, what upcoming creators should look for in a comic book contract, and what we can all do to make comics a fairer industry for us all to work in.

5pm ROOM 716B – MARVEL COMICS: THE NEXT BIG THING
Talent Scout extraordinaire Rickey Purdin joins some of the biggest names at Marvel for an exciting discussion about the future of your favorite series.

Massive shake-ups on the horizon for our heroes: The X-Men – Disassembled! Spider-Man and Black Cat – Together again! The Champions – Marooned on Weirdworld! And The Avengers – Earth’s most hated heroes?!

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 2

It’s time again for North America’s largest tabletop, card, and board game show, GEN CON in Indianapolis, Indiana!

Howard Tayler (Shlock Mercenary, Writing Excuses) and I will be set-up together at BOOTH 1649 in the main exhibit hall, ready to sign and sketch for readers.

If you’re headed to Gen Con, it would be great to see you there! It’s one of my favorite shows each year. Getting the chance to promote my comic work and also dig into the latest and greatest the gaming industry has to offer is a wonderful opportunity.

In addition to being at the booth, I’ll be participating in the Wordbuilders Gen Con Party on Friday night. Buy a ticket to join Worldbuilders and friends for an evening of games, food, drinks, and mingling with some awesome authors, game designers, podcasters, and creators. Sign up to play games with the celeb of your choosing in a relaxed environment and participate in the silent auction for a chance to win some cool geeky prizes. This is a charity event and all proceeds will go towards Worldbuilders and you will also walk away with a swag-filled bag worth over $100!

At the Worldbuilders Party I’ll be running A Fake Artist Goes To New York and The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31!

Also, if you stop by the IDW Games Booth (#158) you’ll be able to check out the game box and miniatures for the Wayward board game arriving in 2019!
