Join cartoonist and educator Ben Towle for a minicomics panel featuring the awesome might of Dan Zettwoch (IRONCLAD), Alec Longstreth (PHASE 7), Rob Ullman (GRAND GESTURES), Liz Baillie (MY BRAIN HURTS), and Joe Lambert (BAIT & SWITCH). Who better to ask what the deal is with these little handmade comics? Learn the answers to this and other questions in this informative panel!

* Unfortunately I was not able to monitor the field recorder during this panel (which was very important to me) and it ran out disk space before completion. Oh, and I miss the beginning due to overlapping panels. Yeah, and I wasn’t able to use my full recording system nor set up any mics. Not bad though, huh? - Adam

Heroes Con 08 - Jason Aaron

Very near the end of Heroes Convention 08… Shortly after wrestling with Matt Fraction and going toe to toe with Rick Remender the Dollar Bin pulls in reinforcements… Rachelle of Livin’ B’tween Wednesdays (Welcome to th South). Listen in amazement as she actually interviews Jason Aaron with questions and everything. Also note the interview skills of Devin, the babbling of Adam, and the intervening of Matt Fraction. Note: This interview was edited as to not make us look stupid.

Heroes Con 08 - Religion and Philosophy in Comics

Can comics go deeper than surface metaphors concerning myth and worship and explore foundational truths? Can comics depict where human experience touches on the unknowable? And if it can, should it? Two of North America’s finest young cartoonists, Sammy Harkham (Crickets, The Poor Sailor, Kramer’s Ergot) and Kevin Huizenga (Ganges, Curses) explore the question of belief in the comics form in this panel moderated by Tom Spurgeon of the Comics Reporter.
