Heading out to Seattle this weekend to attend Emerald City Comicon? Well, here’s Fletcher Chu-Fong, DC’s Director of Events, with the full rundown of DC’s panels. eccc_round_2clr Hello DC Nation! DC’s Director of Events, Fletcher Chu-Fong, here. After a long off-season of snow shoveling and frigid cold weather here in New York, I am sooo eager to get back on the convention circuit! We kick off the 2011 circuit with Emerald City Comicon (March 4-6) in Seattle, WA. Emerald City Comicon is one of my favorite shows to attend. Convention Director Jim Demonakos and his team run a fabulous con and are great to work with. They gear all their efforts to the ultimate goal: pleasing the fans. Whether it is getting A-List talent or attracting top publishers, they aim to keep everyone happy--quite successfully, in my opinion! DC Comics plans to keep that happiness going with lots of freebies, great panels and in-booth portfolio reviews. Mark Chiarello, VP Art Direction & Design, will be on hand at the DC booth on Friday (4-6pm) and Saturday (3-5pm) to look at your portfolios and give you an honest assessment. We’ll also have lots of panels off the show floor as well, including the first Bob Harras-run DC panel, DC NATION, on Friday. Here is a full list of panels that are not to be missed!
