Spotlight

I don't know what your panel planning process for a comic convention or festival is, but I always start with the special guests then work my way through the rest of the heavy hitters giving Spotlight panels. It's always a safe bet that more than one name will have me trying to split myself in two...or three.

This year, WonderCon wants me to either acquire a (new) superpower or suffer from FOMO to the 9th degree. I just can't seem to decide where to go. There's something for every type of nerd I've ever been...every single day.

This selection of artists, writers, actors, and innovators runs the gambit of interests and tastes to satisfy the pickiest of con-goers. If getting into the mind of some of the best and brightest fandom and pop culture has to offer, and hearing about their projects and journey directly from them, then you're going to want to hit up a few of the Spotlight panels this year.

My want-to-go-to-there list is riddled with Spotlights panels. So it looks like I'll be making game-time decisions all weekend about where to be...

If you're going to be in Anaheim, be sure to load your top choices into the app (click the banner below for the full program schedule) so you can get all the updates and changes. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.

Sidenote: The book nerd in my demands I point out that Saturday special guest Cory Doctorow is probably one of the smartest and interesting people I've ever heard speak on dystopian sci-fi, open source tech issues and such. Plus, if you can't get to Wonder Con to hear him in person, the next episode of I Talk Shit and Read will air shortly after Con ends and features an interview with Cory Doctorow from around the time Walkaway, his adult sci-fi, novel released on
