The Panels I'll Be Moderating At London Film & Comic Con Summer 2022

I've got a table at the London Film & Comic Con from where I will be writing Bleeding Cool all weekend long. My table has just been merged with Torunn Grønbekk's so we are tabling together. I promise to be good. We've just done the Marvel Party Time together where I ended up hosting the panel as an emergency replacement for Kit Cox – and now it seems I will be moderating another three over the weekend. So if you are the show a) I'm at the table with the long line for Torunn, or at the following panels:
