Meet the Lineup for the 24th Gays in Comics Panel for San Diego Comic Con


It's that time again, gay geeksters! Every year, San Diego Comic Con host the 'Gays in Comics' Panel which is sponsored by Prism Comics.

Here's more about the panelists:
Joining the panel this year are: Robert Kirkman, writer of The Walking Dead and Invincible and head of Image Comics’ Skybound imprint; Chip Kidd, award-winning author, editor and designer of books such as Bat-Manga, Rough Justice, and Jack Cole and Plastic Man; Dan Parent, writer and artist for Archie and Betty & Veronica, and creator of Archie’s new gay character and series, Kevin Keller; Jon Macy, writer and artist of 2010 Lambda Literary Award-winning Teleny and Camille and Prism Comics Queer Press grant recipient for Fearful Hunter; Paul Cornell, writer for TV’s Doctor Who and DC Comics’ upcoming Stormwatch and Demon Knights series; Greg Pak, writer of Incredible Hulks and co-writer of Alpha Flight and Herc; plus, a special video appearance by J.H. Williams III, co-writer and artist of DC’s Batwoman series! 
Plus, there’s always a surprise or two…

Afterward, stick around for the hourlong gay comics fan mixer/social hosted by Prism Comics, the nonprofit organization that supports gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender comics, creators, and readers. Mingle with comics fans and creators and surprise special guests and stay for the special drawing of a “Comics Gift Basket” and the silent auction of hot comics items, including original art by Alex Ross and Dan Parent.
I will be live tweeting at the event. So if you have any questions, holla at me.

Awesome! I know Kirkman isn't family.(Though I do think he is CUTE!) But are the others gay or just gay friendly? I'm happy no matter what!
