As a vendor, I probably won’t have time to get to any of the panels, but if I could, here’s what I’m looking forward to. Friday is the best day to get on the floor and see what the vendors have to offer. The hall is open from 3 pm to 8 pm, and the only panel I would go to is the Spider-Man panel at 5:30 pm, especially since attendees will get a free Spider-Man comic book!
Saturday Panels
Saturday kicks off with time to cruise the vendor floor. At 11:00 am, “Dude, Where’s My Childhood” panel includes a free G.I. Joe comic book as well as a discussion about cartoons from the 1980s and 1990s. At noon, I would hit the Power Rangers panel with Amy Jo Johnson and Jason David Frank. I saw Frank at Salt Lake Comic Con before the name change, and would love to see the interactions between the two Power Rangers.
At 1 pm, is the Avengers: Infinity panel with a free gift while supplies last; this panel would be hard to pass up. Penguinate’s own Tiny Avenger giveaway is some of the impetus for considering this panel; however, the cultural phenomenon of the worldwide shared experience that is the Avengers is a larger motivating factor. At 2 pm, Daniel Logan and Matthew Wood will be doing a Star Wars panel. Logan is an absolute blast to listen to and watch as he interacts with his Star Wars cohorts. (I saw him at Salt Lake Comic Con as well.)
At 3 pm, the panel of the day belongs to Sean Astin. Samwise
Gamgee is an iconic character, and Astin was a large part of “Stranger Things
2.” His long career is likely to yield several amazing stories. This is the
panel I wouldn’t miss on Saturday.
Rob Liefield has a panel at 4 pm. With the success of Deadpool
and the legend of his creation, this is a chance to settle Deadpool’s origin
story with the creator himself. Each fan gets a gift, too, so bonus! At 5 pm,
there’ll be tips for traveling better and less expensively. We do a lot of
traveling, and this could help us do it better. Trailer Park at 6 pm has some
appeal, but I may just get on the floor and check out more vendors.
Sunday Panels
At noon, Turtles and More might be the first panel for me of
the day. Followed by Asher Angel and Jovan Arman at 1 pm with their Shazam! panel.
Maybe I could even be one of the random fans chosen to win something! At 3 pm,
there’s a panel on the history of comic books that should be interesting.
Afterwards, I would make a couple more passes through the vendors, concentrating
on Artist Alley to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
That’s how I would do things if I were attending Amazing Las
Vegas Comic Con as a fan. What will you be doing? Leave your favorite panel and
