2:30-3:30 Spotlight on Gail Simone—She’s quickly risen to the top of the reading stack with her stellar run on Birds of Prey, and now Gail Simone is set to tackle the Man of Steel himself, with no less than John Byrne along for the ride in Action Comics. Join the fan-favorite writer as she talks about her “overnight success” and her work—past, present, and future. Join Gail as she chats with Patricia Jeres, DC Comics director of sales and marketing communications. Room 132

4:30-6:00 Brian Michael Bendis’ Super Happy Fun Hour!— Brian Michael Bendis had a busy 2004. He destroyed The Avengers, only to introduce The New Avengers. He caused more consternation in the life of poor Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil. And he put young Peter Parker through a much larger wringer in Ultimate Spider-Man. So what’s he going to do in 2005? He’s starting it off right here at WonderCon with this new, improved Super Happy Fun Hour, that’s what! So big, we had to expand the hour to 90 minutes, the busiest writer in comics holds forth on any and all topics and questions. Room 130/131

Damnit, I wanna go.

Neal Adams!

1:00-2:00 Jeff Smith: Reading Bone for the CBLDF—Over a decade in the making, Jeff Smith's Bone has become a classic of comic art.
