In anticipation of Comic-Con International: San Diego – taking place on July 20-23, 2017 – Dynamite Entertainment has just announced two exciting panels to be hosted by the publisher. Both of these panels will include special guests representing the finest in comic book writing, as well as crossover sensations from the worlds of music and literature.

Beginning on July 20, at 5:30 PM in Room 8, Dynamite will host “Dare to be Dynamite: Licensing Adventure.” Dynamite Publicist Jeremy Atkins will moderate this panel focused on the past, present, and future of licensed comics from Dynamite. Among the titles to be discussed are James Bond, The Shadow, and Red Sonja, along with exclusive announcements you won't hear anywhere else. Panelists include Publisher Nick Barrucci, Amy Chu (Red Sonja), Marguerite Bennett and Christina Trujillo (Sheena), Simon Spurrier (The Shadow), Benjamin Percy (James Bond), and Andy Mangels (Wonder Woman '77 Meets Bionic Woman).

Then on July 21, at 1 PM in Room 4, the publisher is hosting “Dare to be Dynamite: Creative Vision.” Ryan J. Downey, host of the PopCurse podcast, will moderate this panel as Dynamite discusses how to bring unique perspectives to the printed page. Panelist include Juno Award-winning electropop singer Lights (Skin & Earth) and bestselling novelist Pierce Brown (Red Rising: Sons of Ares).

“Our guests for the San Diego panels are phenomenal – passionate creators who bring so much spirit to their projects and are eager to share their enthusiasm with the fans. From conception to final release, the business of making comics is such an involved process, and it’s really the energy of both fans and creators that drive the process from start to finish. That’s one of the best things about San Diego Comic-Con – it’s an opportunity to bring together those that inspire our projects on both sides of the spectrum,” shared Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite.
