Programming at Comic-Con 2008
With close to 400 events over all four days, Comic-Con’s program slate is the
largest in the nation. Programs include major comics publisher presentations,
“Spotlight” panels on all the special guests, and the greatest number of events
geared toward the entire spectrum of comics of any convention. Hall H features
major movie studio programs (judging from this issue’s cover and feature
interview, you can bet one of them will include Frank Miller and The Spirit!),
and the TV networks give presentations that showcase favorite and new shows.
(Comic-Con has a tradition of premiering network shows months before they air,
with past examples including Lost, Heroes, Chuck, Pushing Daisies, Reaper, and
many more.)
The Programming Department is currently talking to comics publishers, the major
Hollywood movie studios, and television networks, anime/manga, action figure,
and gaming companies to again offer the most comprehensive —- and mind-blowing! —-
roster of events at any pop culture show. The Comic Arts Conference
will return for four big days of academic study of the wonderful world of
comics. And remember —- at Comic-Con, that world includes all aspects of comics:
superhero comics from the Golden Age to the Silver Age to now, independent and
alternative titles, graphic novels of all types, manga, European comics,
webcomics, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and more!
In addition, the Programming schedule will feature panels and events devoted to
some of this year’s special themes. And Comic-Con
doesn’t end when the Exhibit Hall
closes at 7:00 each night! Programming, anime,
gaming, film screenings, and other events continue well into the night, with
several big events planned for the weekend. On Thursday night, it’s the return
of the Star Wars Fan Film Awards; on Friday night, it’s the comic book
industry’s version of the Oscars: the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards;
and on Saturday night, it’s the gala Comic-Con Masquerade.
Check back for complete details!
The complete Programming schedule will be posted on here, approximately ten days
to two weeks prior to the show. It’s a good idea to print that schedule out so
you can highlight your “must-see” panels and events. The complete schedule is
also provided in the onsite Events Guide, and updated daily on signs outside of
all the Programming rooms.
