Last week, Bryan Deemer, host of Comic Geek Speak, asked me to set up a couple of panels for this year's CGS Supershow, a creator focused comic convention, which will be held March 27 through March 28th at the Greater Reading Expo Center in Reading, PA. I put the word out and the lsiteners responded. It never fails to amaze me how great the Comic Geek Speak listeners are. It's probably a reflection of how great the show hosts are.
In any event, here are the panels currently scheduled for the show. Panelists are still being finalized and will be provided when available.
