ComiCONN 2014 Panel Annoucnements--Podcasts, Clones and Doctor Who!

by Brian LeTendre

This week the panel announcements for Connecticut ComiCONN were made, and there's a healthy dose of Secret Identity in them!

On Friday 8/15 at 5:00PM in the Mason's Room, Matt will be hosting Doctor Who 101, a panel looking at 50 years of the Doctor, with plenty of references from his recent book, The Unofficial Doctor Who Companion.

Also on Friday 8/15 at 7:15PM in the Harbor Room, I'll be hosting a panel on Starting a Podcast, which will include Matt, ComiCONN main man Mitch Hallock (who also does the IndyCast), and Joe Stuber (from IndyCast and Comic Book Central). We'll be pulling topics from my book Making Ear Candy: The Audio Confectioner's Guide to Podcasting, and talking about how to get a new podcast off the ground.

And on Saturday 8/16 at 3PM in the Harbor room, I'll be moderating a panel that every Spider-man fan should be attending--Looking Back at the Clone Saga. This panel will delve into one of the most infamous comic storylines of all time, and will feature three of the creators involved in it--Danny Fingeroth, Howard Mackie and Todd DeZago.

Connecticut ComiCONN is happening August 15-17th at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, CT. Matt and I will be there all three days, hosting panels, selling books, doing interviews and hanging out. The guest list for this year's show is amazing, with comic legends like George Perez and Neal Adams, TV fan favorites like Nicholas Brendon (Xander on Buffy), and Secret Identity favorites Chris Giarrusso (G-Man), Jason May (LEGO, Scholastic, Robotic Madness), Joe Caramagna (Further Travels of Wyatt Earp, Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man), Keith Gleason (Hero Envy, Swamp Tales), Billy Tucci (Sgt. Rock), Jamal Igle (Molly Danger) and many more.
