Why We Make Comics: The Urge, The Obsession, The Necessity Friday, July 24 | 7:00-8:00 | Grand 10 & 11, Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina
Behind every comic is a deeper story… one that goes beyond craft, technique, or industry know-how. Rylend Grant and David Avallone (hosts of the Telly Award-winning WRITERS BLOCK podcast) bring together a panel of acclaimed creators and dig into the real reason they make comics: the personal drives, emotional compulsions, and life experiences that make storytelling not just a career, but a necessity. From catharsis to chaos, therapy to obsession, this candid conversation explores what fuels the creative fire and why, for some, making comics isn’t a choice at all. 
Special note: Fans may want to keep an eye on White Cat Entertainment's social channels during Comic-Con week for information on an additional special appearance from Mancini!

I've worked with Ryland before for Immortal. I suppose I'm obligated for this one...
