  • Comic writer and novelist Robert Venditti will be part of the Superpowers & Ordinary Superheroes panel on Sunday, July 12, from 10AM-11AM in Room 25ABC. The panel, which includes Robert Hartman, James Dashner, AG Howard, Marie Lu, Noelle Stevenson, and Venditti, will focus on everyday heroes in media, from movies to TV to books. This could also potentially explain Dashner’s mention that he’ll be at Comic-Con – but we’re still rooting for another appearance for The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials.
  • Author Nick Cole, best known for The Old Man and the Wasteland, announced on Twitter that he will be appearing at SDCC 2015, as part of Harper Voyager’s Comic-Con plans. Our guess? Probably an appearance, and possibly a signing, at the Harper Collins booth.

Here’s a look at the figure, from SpiceSeed:

  • Holman Wang, one half of the minds behind Star Wars Epic Yarns will be at Comic-Con, according to his Twitter account that he shares with his brother and co-author Jack Wang.
