San Diego Comic-Con is fast approaching! July 12-15 (preview night on July 11) to be exact. And as usual, I'll be there covering it for my podcast COMIC NEWS INSIDER as well as The Beat and possibly a bit for Stated Magazine. I'll also be on a couple of panels this year! Of course, the annual podcasters panel. And then I'll be moderating my first SDCC panel ever as well! Good pal Becky Cloonan asked me to moderate her Spotlight panel on Thursday! I'm super excited. I have experience of moderating panels at Heroes Con for the past few years but this is the big time, kids! If you're attending, please come see me and Becky chat! And then come back later that day to see a bunch of comic podcasters congratulate ourselves and generally tell you how we're so awesome. Here's the official info from the SDCC programming.
