We Demand Comics

NYC Comiconcon is finished, but you still have comicon energy? We're here for the afterparty. Come in cosplay to We Demand Comics! This in-person event celebrates the intersection of prose and comics, writers and artists. Meet fans and creators of the stories you love.

Info: The artists take a piece prose from one of our guest authors and sketch it live for the audience while discussing their process for interpreting the written word into images.

Info: Alisa Kwitney, Carlos Hernandez, George Jreige, and Rob Cameron (M)
While the categories stay the same, the stories that represent the popular fiction driving them have not. Why? Are the readers who made them popular aging out or moving on? What do creatives do differently when they cross into different age groups and media? We'll talk to creatives who have successfully crossed streams.

Info: Yvonne Chireau, Ben Khan, Newton Lilavois, and Lisa Burdige (M)

Folklore in Comics and Prose. For many writers, folklore, family legends, monsters, and cultural myths carried across oceans and generations are the deep well from which we drink. How they resurface, transform, and get reinterpreted fuels some of the richest prose and comics being made today.

Info: Emmett Nahil, Danny Lore, Joe Corallo, Daniel Stalter (M)
Horror as a genre is more popular than it has ever been, thriving across multiple mediums, from prose and poetry to comics and film. Each medium uses its inherent strengths to scare and fascinate us in equal measure. What sorts of effects can be pulled off in one medium that are more challenging in others? What aspects of the genre are uniquely suited for comics?
