NYCC Programming and Panels

Main Stage 1-D (formerly the IGN) will be the same with right around 3,000 seats. Empire Stage 1-E takes over the whole E hall and will sit roughly 2,000 people. Hopefully this will give more people the opportunity to see some of the bigger panels.

Will you still be live streaming Main Stage panels in the queue hall?

Yes we will. Absolutely.

I only wish I could be in 2 places at once. Sadly the John Barrowman Q&A is the SAME time as The Walking Dead Q&A.  :P What were you guys thinking?! LOL 

[alyssa]

Yes we will. Absolutely.

thanks for answering folks questions Brian!

Kim and Marykate tried so hard not to have Barrowman be at the same time as TWD. It is really tough to schedule everything and they put so much time and effort into trying to make the schedule work for everyone. Sometimes tough decisions have to be made. This was a tough one. It came down to either putting Barrowman into a smaller 500 seat room at a different time or putting him in a 2000 seat room at the same time as TWD. We decided that is was better to put him in a bigger room and let more people see him even thought it was at the same time as TWD. It was definitely debated but we figured more people in the room was better than less at another time.

at least it may ease some of the pain for people missing TWD also the liklihood is the the main stage will be full for TWD long before the Empire Stage considering AoS is the panel before and if you are in the room for AoS you're likely staying for TWD

I am debating between Barrowman and TWD but the good thing about having it at the same time is, if I definitely can't get into TWD, I do have a shot at Barrowman, so I see it as a plus, in that manner

Hey Brian - I see that David Duchovny is listed for Fri, Sat and Sun, but he's not listed for any signings or anything on Friday.  Is he actually going to be there on Friday, and in what capacity?

Also, are the Defiance people really only doing the one panel on Sunday and that's it?  No signings or photo ops?  That seems... odd.

i don't know if this has been baked in or not

Marvel to announce six new books at NYCC with Dan Slott, Mike Allred, Stuart Immonen, Bendis, Peter David and more

All week Marvel has been teasing their New York Comic-Con announcements with one word teasers. Just how much can be gleaned from a word and a font treatment depends on how closely you follow Team Marvel, but we’ve been making some guesses.

A couple updates for programming:

First Agent M has said their will be no panel for Thor: The Dark World at NYCC:

Chris Hemsworth stars in "Heart of Sea" and just started filming in the Europe, last week. Tom Hiddleson is also attending events in Austraila and Korea to promote TDW, around NYCC time. So those may be some of the reasons.

Second, this is from an email from Legendary yesterday.

Are you going to NYCC? We just announced our first event: the Shadow Walk Signing taking place on Friday, October 11. Keep an eye out for more upcoming announcements.

The "upcoming announcements" are interesting. The Shadow Walk signing is at Autograph Table 5 (in Autograph area). Which probably means they won't have a booth on the show floor this year. As in the past, they've held signings at their booth. So either they are planning more signings, panels or maybe something off-site.

Back at SDCC, the Legendary staff said they were "hoping" to bring the Godzilla Encounter to NYCC. But so far, I haven't seen any promo stuff, like the did for SDCC. So I'm not expecting it to be at NYCC.

I'm still bummed about no MCU panel but it's not a total surprise.
