Exhibitors at IMAGE EXPO include companies publishing independent comics and the artists who create them, as well as retailers who support creator-owned comics. IMAGE EXPO will also be hosting programming for fans, aspiring creators, and retail professionals, ranging from door-busting panels with some of comics' biggest names to art, writing, and design workshops.
On the door-busting side, "The Walking Dead Live" panel will take place Saturday, hosted by Chris Hardwick, with The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and actors Steven Yeun (Glenn) and Norman Reedus (Daryl). In the workshops, Image Comics founders will offer portfolio reviews and tips for aspiring artists. Image Comics will also be supporting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's work with a workshop on censorship led by the CBLDF's Charles Brownstein.
Tickets are $20 for a Friday or Sunday pass, $25 for Saturday, and $35 for all three days. There is also a $150 MVP three-day pass, which includes guaranteed panel seating and a gift bag. To purchase tickets and more information about the show, visit www.imagecomicexpo.com.
