Comics Track Highlights at I-CON 27!

Ring of Fire: The Great Comic Debates:Who'd win in a fight, Bats or Supes? Who's the greatest Green Lantern of them all? Could Juggernaut move the Blob? I-CON tackles the important questions!

A Brief History of Awesome:Our advanced scientific technique has given us an unparalleled insight to the awesomest things to ever happen in comic books. Dare you miss it?!

Superman's 70th Birthday Bash: Silver age legend Murphy Anderson remembers buying Action Comics #1 on the newsstand, and now he's going to help us ring in Big Blue's seventieth birthday in style. For the first people there, there will be cake, and that's no lie.

A Dramatic Reading of the DC Dictionary: When no one was looking, Lex Luthor took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible. What other nuggets of wisdom lay within this relic of a bygone era?!

True Tales of the Comic Book Industry!: Our all-star lineup of comic book industry veterans tells you stories from the front lines of the four-color comic biz.

Why People Suck: The Search for Suck: Back by popular demand, and now entering its fifth blockbuster year, guests new and old will tell you why indeed.

Making Superheroes Accessible: Animation and Comics: Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock) and Peter David (Marvel Adventures, Young Justice) both have a lot of experience trying to make superheroes accessible for everyone. But when you're dealing with heroes with decades of continuity, where do you start cutting?

Action Figure Theatre BYOAF: We're going to ring out the convention with an action figure reenactment of the last couple of years in comics. Bring your own action figure, and maybe we can get the Civil War no one ever wanted going!
