OK, so I already pointed out how weak it was that the Black Panel started at 7:30pm on Friday and that the two most worthy female-focused panels were scheduled against each other.
At 12pm in Room 1ED02, we have GROWING UP WITH ARCHIE, which is marked as a KIDS panel for KIDS DAY festivities at the con.
Over in Room 1E03? STICKY PAGES: NEW YORK COMIC CON SUPER-QUEERO EDITION!Chuck Dixon isn't in attendance with the family, by chance, is he? C'mon...how difficult is it to NOT put these two panels so close together in order to avoid all chance that some parents will be displeased with seeing CAPTAIN CONDOM on their way to an Archie panel they were told was good for their kids?
Come join our party as the Super-Queeroes of the comics world talk about what's good, bad and ugly in the industry today. Watch in terror as they pull questions from the doggy-bag of doom, dish about what heroine is sleeping with what super-villainess, and generally disturb the public peace. Featuring a visit from Special Guest CAPTAIN CONDOM!

You know, be as progressive as you want to be, but have some common sense in scheduling.
ReplyDeleteThat's so fucking stupid, there's no rationale behind it. ESPECIALLY when you have idiots dressing up as a condom (that should not be the way to promote a positive role for gays in comics, I would think).
I just think it was lazy scheduling.
ReplyDeleteThe argument can be made that not a lot of kids will actually be at the Archie panel, but it is highlighted as a kid panel. The STICKY PAGES panel just doesn't seem wise to put next to it, especially because I don't believe they're saying the pages got sticky from grape jelly or anything...
