Thinking about a virtual ComicPop Con
Added 2020-10-11 17:10:21 +0000 UTCWeigh in here! https://strawpoll.com/hqwvhdpf5
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. But hear me out-- this would be a little more different, a little more manageable. Here's the pitch:
Seven shows. Seven days.
Just a week of live programming, themed to a "ComicPop Con," but one show per day, and a mix of familiar and VERY different.
It's just in the hypothetical for now, but I'd like to know what you think. One show per day for a week? Or just one full day of programming? Also what kinds of stuff would YOU show up for? (And DON'T say creator interviews... haha)

There are some fascinating unproduced scripts out there (like the Tom Mankowitz Batman), and even alternate ones for existing films. Awesome idea!

2020-10-23 19:49:51 +0000 UTCOne show a day is best I think but you could make one or two of the shows a compilation of shorts. A live Back Issues would be great. It would be nice to have a live Hack and Slash for old times. Tiffany’s ComicPop kitchen would be a cool short segment. Story time with someone reading a comic out loud and describing it fireside with a robe and pipe would be cool. A comic quiz game show where Sal and Tiffany are the hosts and Ben and Ethan are the contestants. Show us how much they’ve learned over the years.

2020-10-19 02:57:22 +0000 UTCI love the daily schedule idea, and think it would give people time to jump in if they miss a day. As far as what to cover, I'd say anything that would make for a fun discussion, or that you guys are passionate about. If you want my more selfish wish, I'd love to see you cover some wacky nineties comics or their trends (which fascinate me), like Liefeld, Wildcats, Malibu Comics, the "hot chick" Witchblade subgenre, etc. Though that may not appeal to others I do think some real humor could be mined there. Otherwise, perhaps you could have a conversation/debate about bigger pet peeves or industry problems. I think continuity and its implementation, what the young reader graphic novel boom can teach us, and comics accessibility are rich topics.

2020-10-12 22:28:41 +0000 UTCI'm so hyped for this. I literally have your shows in the background when I'm doing most of my day to day so to have a comic pop con would be a dream come true

2020-10-12 00:03:53 +0000 UTCOne show per day good idea. Easier to promote and build up interest/excitement throughout the entire Con.

2020-10-11 21:26:32 +0000 UTCLooks like a VAST majority of you guys like the one show per day format idea. I'm happy I'm onto something! As for panels, I think we'd have to do at least one live Back Issues. I'd love to do a Harbor Patrol one-shot. Maybe a table read from an excerpt of an unproduced comic book movie script...

2020-10-11 20:39:47 +0000 UTCWe're never going to do that. Sorry, man.

2020-10-11 17:52:09 +0000 UTCI would love to see a one show a day program. Live back issues would be awesome or live good, bad and ugly's. Tbh I would probably watch everything in those seven days, haha

2020-10-11 17:28:12 +0000 UTCThat sounds great! I think one show per day would be more manageable for both creators and audience. And will probably prevent too much burnout for you guys. A new Harbor Patrol campaign could be fun, and a GBU related show where you guys work together to figure out how a writer or artist could have made the book better (I’m sure there’s a GBU acronym about brainstorming in there somewhere.) A new Elseworlds with Joel would be great, too!

2020-10-11 17:18:26 +0000 UTCOne show per day would be better.
