SDCC 2025

It's been 20 years since I last attended Comic-Con International in San Diego and I'm very happy to be returning as a Special Guest of the convention. For those of you attending, here's my schedule of events...

Thursday 7/24

Minor Threats panel

2:00PM - 3:00PM, Room 6DE 

Come be a (bar)fly on the wall as Minor Threats co-creators Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and others discuss the C-list villains and henchpeople that populate the world of Minor Threats. Additional panelists include collaborators Heath Corson, Gerry Duggan, Soo Lee, Hannah Rose May, Dan Hernandez, J.M. DeMatteis, and Timmy Heague. 


Saturday, 7/26

Spotlight on JM DeMatteis

12:30 PM—1:30 PM, Room 29CD

Join Heath Corson (Minor Threats: The Brood) in conversation with J.M. DeMatteis (Spider-Man, Moonshadow, The DeMultiverse) as they discuss J.M.’s forty-plus years writing comics, television, film, and prose, taking a deep dive into J.M.’s creative process. Followed by a Q&A session.


Signing: 

Saturday Autograph Area AA14
02:00 PM - 03:30 PM


Sunday, 7/27

Super Hero Evolution

1:15PM—2:15PM, Room 5AB

This panel will include JM DeMatteis, JG Jones, Terry Kavanagh, Todd Klein, and Jae Lee. Moderator TBD.


Signing: 

Sunday Autograph Area AA14
02:45 PM - 03:45 PM

Those will be my only signings. I will not have a table in Artists Alley.

The rest of the time I'll be wandering around like everyone else, with my mouth hanging open, marveling at how this event (which I first attended, quite by accident, way back in 1976—but that's another tale for another time) has changed.


Onward to San Diego!

  1. I heard "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" is going to have a panel for its 30 anniversary. It's a pity you won't be in it considering your comic to solve its cliffhanger.

    1. I'm sure it will be a great panel with or without me.

    3. Not sure if it's really Terry or a clone. ; )

    4. Ha! Ask him something only the real Terry would know, who is F.A.C.A.D.E.? Of course he could say anything so I guess we're back to square one.

      It would be great if all the Clone Saga creatives reunited for a panel. I guess the only question left is what controversial story arc could you possibly talk about to fill the time?

    5. The Clone Saga? Controversial? I had no idea, David!

    6. Oh me neither. I was clearly referencing Ravencroft hiring Man-Wolf as their head of security! As I recall it the letters column was all John Jameson, all the time, for the next two years.

  2. Just starting reading JL ‘88 and loving it. The creative process strikes true for a short film me and my best friend are making. I spearheaded the writing and it developed into something different to our conversations organically. It’s giving me a bit of anxiety that my friend was taken aback but it was bound to happen and now she’s added edits and we’re running with it.
    Hope it’s working out as well as you and Giffen xo

  3. Will a wristband/ticket be needed for your signing Sunday or will it be open? Thank you, very hopeful to get the opportunity to meet you!

    1. I'm pretty sure it will be open. Thanks for asking!

  4. It is strange.

    I just naturally assume any question you are asked at this panel will lead to a four hour lecture about how great I am. \

    I am just not sure why SDCC want s to happen three times.

    Oh well, I am sure they have their reasons, and have studied it thoroughly.

    2. So.... you are saying they are just willy-nilly giving you the microphone to sing my glories? no research? No plan? No rhyme OR reason?

      That seems dicey.

    3. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
