Bleeding Cool is going to have a very busy San Diego Comic Con. And we have a couple of panels as well. Here is where we are going to be on Thursday and Friday early evening. Come by, say hi, it'll be great!

Thursday, July 9th

6:30-7:30 So, The Internet Ruined My Life…What now?—Bleeding Cool's EIC Hannah Means-Shannon hosts Rich Johnston and special guests who have experienced the wrath of the Internet first hand to talk about the dangers of social media hype and recovering from notoriety. Learn how fans can be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Room 26 AB

Hosted by: Hannah Means-Shannon

Panelists: Rich Johnston and Cameron Hatheway, with very special guests

Full Description: In an unprecedented appeal to both writers and readers on the web, Bleeding Cool will bring you an inside perspective on just how damaging the internet can be for members of the comics community and what people do in their "life after" of unpleasant internet notoriety. How do you move forward to reclaim your reputation? How do you make sure that your side of the story gets heard? How long does it really take for internet readers to change their minds or move on? Rich Johnston will interview special guests who have first hand experiences of the fickle destruction the internet and social media can wield, and give advice to fans and readers about how to get to the truth of internet controversies and make sure they don't just jump on the bandwagon in the latest fanboy rampage.

Small press publishers: What makes the difference between an item that will get news coverage, previews, and interviews and what doesn't? A lot of publishers have no idea what to submit to the press, how to submit it, and why they are being overlooked for coverage.
