There will be a variety of comic book professionals, as well as big-name cosplayers, at Mid Con.

 I don't have the list of panels, though I know the guys from SuperHero Society podcast will be critiquing/panning the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie sometime tomorrow. Also, I have a panel on Archie Comics scheduled for tomorrow at noon. I've got my PowerPoint all made up and, assuming that I don't get all nervous, it should be a pretty fun panel & discussion!

There is also a Comic School for non-adults starting at 4:00 PM today. It will walk participants through the steps of creating a comic book from idea to print.

Hopefully I'll pick up a complete list of events later this afternoon. I'll share those here later tonight.

Hope to see you all at Mid Con this weekend!

Update: I just got back from watching a Marvel/DC Mash-Up Improv event at Mid Con. The weekend schedule has been announced. Check out the options. As you can see, I'll be doing my "Archie's Dead!" panel starting at noon tomorrow. But there are lots of other cool events going on this weekend.

I hope to see you at Mid Con Comic Show tomorrow!
