In all honesty, I always look forward to Fridays at the New York Comic Con (NYCC).
The reason why…this day always has some of my favorite panels!
If you are heading back to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center for day two of NYCC, here are the panels that you must check out:
DC Comics- “The Dark Knight” 30th Anniversary (Main Stage 1-D): 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Celebrated writer-artist Frank Miller’s revolutionary The Dark Knight Returns is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year! To celebrate the tale that transformed the Caped Crusader, several superstar creators such as Andy Kubert, Brian Azzarello, Jim Lee and Klaus Janson will be celebrating this milestone in comic book literature that will feature special guests, exclusive artwork and possible reveals on the upcoming chapter of the Dark Knight trilogy-The Dark Knight III: The Master Race.
“The Librarians: Season Two” First Look (Empire Stage 1-E): 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Are you already overloaded by Batman? TNT is offering a great alternative by giving fans a sneak peek behind the scenes of their hit show: The Librarians. Actors Rebecca Romijn (Eve Baird), Christian Kane (Jacob Stone), Lindy Booth (Cassandra Cillian), John Kim (Ezekiel Jones) and John Larroquette (Jenkins) will be on hand to tease the show’s sophomore season. Also, make sure that you stay a little longer because TNT will also preview Sharon Stone’s upcoming series: Agent X!
In Conversation with Seth Meyers (Room 1A10): 1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Attention Late Night fans! The one and only Seth Meyers will be talking exclusively to Vulture.com Senior Editor Jesse David Fox exclusively at the New York Comic Con. Expect the two of them to highlight the comedy icon’s journey from Chicago Improv comedian to his tenure as Saturday Night Live Head Writer and the fourth host of Late Night.
The Adventure Continues: A “Justice League” Reunion (Empire Stage 1-E): 2:00-3:00 p.m.
One of my all-time favorite animated series is Justice League! For the first time since 2006, the Justice League voice cast and their fearless leader, legendary voice director Andrea Romero, will take NYCC by storm! Come see Kevin Conroy (Batman), Susan Eisenberg (Wonder Woman), George Newbern (Superman), Phil LaMarr (Green Lantern), Carl Lumbly (Martian Manhunter) and Maria Canals-Barrera (Hawkgirl) reflect on the animated series and do a table read from a fan-favorite Justice League episode.
DC Entertainment Spotlight on Scott Snyder (Room 1A21): 2:45-3:45 p.m.
Scott Snyder is one of my favorite Batman creators of the 2010s. He is very personable with his fans and his work on American Vampire, Batman, Batman: The Black Mirror, Superman Unchained, Swamp Thing and Wytches is impeccable! Come learn more about the projects Scott has planed for the future at this panel.
“Once Upon a Time”: An Evening with the Dark Swan (Empire Stage 1-E): 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Two weeks ago, Emma Swan began her journey to the dark side. This afternoon, Jennifer Morrison and Once Upon A Time co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis will give fans the lowdown on Emma’s shocking transformation to evil, how Merida and Arthur will play roles this season and treat attendees to a sneak peek of an upcoming episode.
