More Moonstone Panels at C2E2!
Just found out we are involved in two more C2E2 panels!
Outgrowing Your Toys
Friday 2:45-3:45pm
Room: E352
We all have a favorite toy. What's yours? From GI Joe to Stretch Armstrong, to Transformers, pop culture has enthusiastically embraced toy nostalgia. Join self-styled retropreneur Ed Catto (Captain Action), Zeroids writer Aaron Shaps, and a panel of toy enthusiasts to explore the 2010 version of the truism "everything old is new!"
Pulp Fiction
Saturday 4:00-5:00pm
Room: E350
The pulps is where it all started - the first glorious synergy of lurid pictures and purple prose! How has this unique art form survived and why is it thriving now? Join creators behind DC's First Wave and Moonstone's Return of the Originals pulp line and more for a look backwards and a glimpse of what's to come. Featuring writer Brian Azzarello, writer Joe Gentile, writer Mike Bullock, and pulp expert Jim Alexander for this in depth look at the pulp genre!
This con is just looking better and better every day! Hope to see some of you at least one of these great Moonstone-related panels. You now have FOUR to choose from. (Check my earlier post for info on the other two panels we are involved in!)

Man, I'm really bummed out. I didn't go to any other conventions because I was saving up time, money and energy to go to this convention when it came to town. Now I found out I will be working that entire weekend. Second shift to boot so, just a total loss. Have a good convention Moonstone.
ReplyDeleteWoot! I got to go and I also had a chance to meet the Goddess herself. Also got to pickup lots of Kolchak books. I was a very happy comic geek in the end.
ReplyDeleteCostumes there were great. If you haven't seen some of the pictures online, look around for them. My favorites were 1960s television Batgirl, Dark Phoenix, Red Skull and a very scary looking Joker. Can't wait till next year.
If anyone would like to see the photos let me know and I can direct you there.
