3:00PM Fight for the future of Comics: This time it's personal.
It's the audience VS panel members VS other panel members in this discussion about the future of comics. Hosts Mason Johnson and Kurt Dinse lead a series of "experts" in a discussion about digital media, web comics and even the print industry. Anyone and everyone is welcome to show up and participate in this fight for the future, it won't be a success unless a brawl ensues (and then those involved go out for drinks afterward).
