Stranger Things Panel

Saturday 1pm – 2pm

Things in Catherine Dyer's life took a strange turn when she starred on Netflix's newest runaway hit as Agent Connie Frazier. Dyer's no-nonsense character is a great balance to her young, vibrant co-stars on Stranger Things, and there's no real consensus on who's scarier, Agent Frazier on a mission or the Demogorgon. And it's easy to understand how Randy Havens, as Mr. Clarke, quickly became everyone's favorite teacher/A.V. Club supervisor after binge-watching season one of Netflix's smash hit Stranger Things! Join them for a discussion of one of the newest, hottest shows!

Starman Retrospective

Saturday 4pm – 5pm

The classic super-hero series STARMAN in which Jack Knight–antiques collector and dealer–inherits the name and powers of his father's old Starman identity from his older brother, who has been assassinated. Created by James Robinson and Tony Harris, this series ran for 81 issues over the course of 7 years. Join the creators as they discuss the immensely popular Eisner Award-winning series with a Q&A to follow.

Fables Retrospective

Sunday 11:30am – 12:30pm

The Vertigo series Fables won 14 Eisner awards and spanned from 2002 until just this year, with multiple spin offs including Jack of Fables and The Literals. Join creator and writer Bill Willingham for this fascinating retrospective on the series that may touch upon the influence the book has had on television and perhaps the upcoming movie. Q&A to follow.
