Come See Me at New York Comic Con!

4

Since the website’s already updated, I finally feel comfortable announcing the news: I’ll be speaking at New York Comic Con!  I’m delivering a panel on Friday, a panel on Saturday, and signing books.  Here are the juicy juicy details!

In Panel 1, CHARACTERS: HARD CORE VS. BADASS, I will break at least two of the rules of Fight Club, and talk about characters’ strengths, challenges, and the disparity between them.  This one is all me, no backup, no other panelists, no moderator.  Fear for your lives.

Date: Friday, October 12
11:00 am – 11:45 am

Location: Unbound Stage

Speaker: Max Gladstone

Description:
What makes one character Hardcore and another Badass? Is there really a difference? Novelist Max Gladstone breaks it down by dissecting some of the greatest heroes and villains from books, gaming, comics, film and television, revealing the unique alchemy of each one and what every writer needs to think about in order to create truly unforgettable characters.

And Panel 2, HOCUS POCUS: MAGIC & MONSTERS IN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY, in which I share the stage with some seriously terrifying people, talking about the seriously terrifying powers, and phenomena that fill our work, and from which we all expect (foolishly, I think) to be allowed to leave unaccompanied by nice men in white coats:

Date: Saturday, October 13
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm

Location: 1A08

Speakers: Andrea Cremer , Beth Revis , Cecil Castellucci , Jacqueline Carey , Jocelynn Drake , Kim Harrison , Max Gladstone , Richard Kadrey , Victoria Schwab

Description:
Science-Fiction and Fantasy authors discuss the costs and consequences of “magic” in their novels. Moderator Beth Revis will have authors Andrea Cremer, Jacqueline Carey, Jocelynn Drake, Kim Harrison, Max Gladstone, Cecil Castellucci, Victoria Schwab and Richard Kadrey dishing about the scary, hairy and dangerous creatures that lurk in the worlds they have created. Moderated by Beth Revis.

And of course: BOOK SIGNINGS (signings inings nings ings ngs gs s…):

Max Gladstone: Saturday, 2:45-3:45pm. Autographing tables 2,3, and 4

Presumably I’ll be at one of those three tables, unless the Javits Center has some creepy co-location magic of which I’m unaware.

If you’re in NYC and want to brave the wilds of Javits, come see me!  Hear me!  Rock out!

    Looking at the guest list I feel a little like the dog at the keyboard (you know, “I have no idea what I’m doing!”). But I’m mostly excited. This will be a lot of fun, and it’s so cool to have a chance to be on a panel with these people!

    The rest of the time, you’ll be in the gaming area. Drafting RTR. With me.

    That’s right I am. Also, Stephanie’s coming for the weekend – if we can find a fourth, that’s a solid draft circle right there.
