New York Comic Con will be held from October 8 to 11 this year at the Jatvis Center in New York City. To help attendees plan out their weekend, DC Entertainment has released their 2015 New York Comic Con panel line-up. In addition to the standard All Access and Bat Unvierse panels, DC has added a few other interesting panels to the mix.
One panel sure to be a hit is “DC Comics – The Dark Knight 30th Anniversary”. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Frank Miller’s classic Batman tale The Dark Knight, and to celebrate DC has announced a new series, The Dark Knight III: The Master Race. Co-publisher and DC artist Jim Lee will discuss the history of The Dark Knight, and will be joined by writer Brian Azzarello and artists Klaus Janson and Andy Kubert to discuss the upcoming series. The panel promises to “feature surprise guests, exclusive reveals and revelations”.
Another panel that looks interesting is DC Entertainment – Master Class: Art History. There are few details about the panel itself, but the panellists are some of DC’s best artists today, including Babs Tarr (Batgirl), Riley Rossmo (Constantine: The Hellblazer), Ivan Reis (Justice League), and Gustavo Duarte (Bizarro).
Check out the full panel schedule below, and let us know which ones you’re going to (or want to go to) in the comments.
