Image Comics announced its panel schedule for the 2018 edition of C2E2.
The Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo runs from April 6 through Sunday, April 8, and is located at the South Building at McCormick Place located at 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, IL.
Image Comics: We Believe In Character
Friday, April 6, 2018 @ 5:30 – 6:30 PM in Room S403
Comic artists don’t just translate scripts: they build characters. From choreographing the most subtle facial tics and body language to designing entire wardrobes, illustrators are master actors of ink on page. Giving shape to entire casts, they carve new souls on a monthly basis. The creators on this panel specialize in character design, from Leila del Duca’s medieval romanticism on SLEEPLESS to Jeremy Haun’s rugged post-apocalyptic fantasy chic in THE REALM, and Tula Lotay’s fashion-forward covers. Come see these shapers discuss their process, including Annie Wu and Jen Bartel as they preview their upcoming Image projects, DEAD GUY FAN CLUB and BLACKBIRD.
Image Comics: We Believe In Drama
Sunday, April 8, 2018 @ 10:45 – 11:45 AM in Room S403
Writers channel the crises we face every day through layers of fiction, allowing readers to dissect universal struggles through a vibrant, askew lens. Though comics may catalyze new worlds overflowing with imagination, creators ground that surrealism in drama and catharsis. Join a panel of stellar scribes including Kyle Higgins (THE DEAD HAND), Gerry Duggan (ANALOG), Tee Franklin (BINGO LOVE), Tini Howard (HACK/SLASH: RESURRECTION) and some very special guests as they discuss the friction that gave way to their latest works.
