Reed Expo, which sponsors the New York Comic Con every year at The Jacob Javits Center, is doing a smaller version of the convention this June (at The Jacob Javits Center) called Special Edition: NYC. They asked me to participate in the convention. So, I'm putting together a panel titled "Creator-owned Comics (vs. Corporate-owned Comics)."
The convention will be Saturday, June 14 to Sunday, June 15. I don't have the exact time and date for the panel, but I'm supposed to be receiving that info by May 19th. If you're going to be attending the convention, then feel free to stop by and check out the panel.
Here's my "Creator-owned Comics (vs. Corporate-owned Comics)" panel pitch that I submitted to Reed Expo for the:
There seems to be more and more comic books owned by the artists and writers that create them. We have Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and self-published comics. The creators that make such comics don't have to answer to an editor. They can write and draw the kind of comic books that they want to write and draw. This is much different than the work-made-for-hire comics that are being published by the likes of Marvel Comics and DC Comics.
Has the advent of digital comics helped creators make their own comics? Is self-publishing a viable alternative for creator-owned comics? Does the freedom of webcomics play a part, as well? What's the future of creator-owned comics compared to corporate owned comics? Do the readers gravitate to comics based on the creators? And how can aspiring artists and writers get in on the action of creating their own comic books?

Hey, Chris. This is the first time I'm hosting a panel at a convention. I do enjoy talking about this stuff, though, so, the panel should be fun.
Here’s our first confirmation of someone who will join me on the panel: ASTRO CITY’S Kurt Busiek!
