Comicpalooza

I’m looking forward to Comicpalooza 2015, in Houston over Labor Day weekend. The lineup of panels is looking great. I just got the prospective list from one of the organizers. None of this is set in stone, but if they do even half of these, it’s going to be a kick-ass con. Here’s just a handful of the potential panel topics.

For nerds, geeks, and fanboys:

• The Storytelling of Star Wars
• Harry Potter and the Future of Hogwarts
• Star Trek vs. Star Wars, It’s On
• Game of Thrones and Epic Fantasy

For aspiring writers:

• Writing Unforgettable Characters
• How to Create Believable Worlds
• What I Wish I’d Known as a New Writer

For lovers of fantasy fiction, strong female protagonists, and not-more-of-the-same-white-male-heroes-doing-everything:

• Urban Fantasy Author Roundtable
• Why We Love Urban Fantasy
• Multiculturalism in Science Fiction and Fantasy
• Gender in Fantasy Fiction

I’ll post more details here as soon as I get ‘em.
