PANELS HOSTED BY IMAGE COMICS:

Thursday, October 4 @ 6:30 – 7:30 PM, Room 1A18
Image Comics: We Believe in Horror

Image Comics has ushered in a new era of horror with cerebral writers and visceral artists elevating sequential-art dread to claustrophobic heights. From W. Maxwell Prince’s suburban doom in ICE CREAM MAN to Pornsak Pichetshote’s reflective haunted house boiler, INFIDEL, comics are evolving terror to new personal, socially minded levels. Join a roster of the most sinister storytellers including David F. Walker (BITTER ROOT), Matthew Rosenberg (WHAT'S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE?), Dennis Culver (BURNOUTS), and Will Dennis (editor on MOONSHINE, WYTCHES, GIDEON FALLS) to discover how they're altering an entire genre.

Friday, October 5 @ 2:45 – 3:45 PM, Room 1A24
Image Comics: We Believe in Vision

Since its creation, Image has remained a bastion for creators to foster their biggest, boldest ideas. Join a vanguard of storytellers as they walk through their most daring projects and how they arrived there—including a surprise announcement. Join panelists Jason Aaron (SOUTHERN BASTARDS, THE GODDAMNED), Kieron Gillen (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, DIE), Stephanie Hans (DIE), Gerry Duggan(ANALOG, DEAD RABBIT), Jen Bartel (BLACKBIRD), Joe Casey (MCMLXXV, JESUSFREAK), Daniel Warren Johnson (MURDER FALCON, EXTREMITY) and special guests for an introspective dive into the comics defining the future of the medium.

Image Comics Presents Deadly Class 101

In 2014, writer Rick Remender and artist Wes Craig unleashed a relentless tale of brutal vengeance and discipline in DEADLY CLASS, where the homework is homicide and the lectures are lethal. The neon-drenched world of Marcus Lopez Arguello and King’s Dominion Atelier of the Deadly Arts will soon debut as an original television series on SYFY, as the comic series continues to crank the pressure on a group of teens training to be career assassins. Join the creators of this groundbreaking comic as Remender, Craig, editor Sebastian Girner, and colorist Jordan Boyd recount the origins, development, and future of their transformational epic.  

Sunday, October 7 @ 3:45 – 4:45 PM, Room 1A21

Moderator: Chloe Ramos-Peterson

Comics creators working in the genre of horror, thrillers, and suspense discuss how their books tackle real-world issues like racism, xenophobia, and otherism. Subjects include how creators telegraph topics, how satire can revitalize tropes, why these genres are so perfect for examining sensitive issues, why the time is right to tackle these problems through graphic literature, and how you can use these books to have productive conversations in your branch through bookclubs, lectures, and more.

Location - NYPL - 476 5th Avenue - Bartos Forum
Speakers: Joe Schmidt, Amie Wright, Jason Latour

As different iterations of classic superheroes emerge (Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Gwen), what remains consistent is the archetypal journeys of so many heroes in comics. Using Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces this panel will discuss the universal appeal of comics and how so much of that appeal is based on readers seeing themselves in the work and following along on the hero's journey. Using this framework, educators and librarians can incorporate the hero's journey in teaching and discussions of classic works—like the Odyssey—into present day. CTLE credit available for eligible attendees.

The Gifted S02E02 "unMoored" Recap


Tuscon, Arizona. Three years ago. John Proudstar is in a cage fight. Just when it appears as if he might get beat, he taps into his mutant strength and bests his opponents. Afterwards, he is enjoying his earnings when he is approached by Evangeline Whedon. She explains that she is an attorney that used to work with the X-Men before they disappeared. She knows a considerable amount of information about his life and history. She wants to give him an opportunity to make something of his life by leading the Atlanta station for the Mutant Underground. She lost her job when her bosses learned she was a mutant and was considering suicide before the X-Men found her. Though he is reluctant at first he decides to accept the offer.

In the present day, John checks on Marcos who has made a gift for the baby and admits that he's never lost hope that he and Lorna can be together again. John encourages him to keep having hope but Marcos says hope has been killing him and now he doesn't even know if Lorna or the baby are alive. The information they have on the Inner Circle isn't enough for them to track down a precise location and John decides to contact Evangeline in the hopes of her being able to aid their search.

Reeva discusses the electrical surges Lorna caused during childbirth with the Stepford Cuckoos. Reeva orders that all of the humans they've been in contact with for matters during the birth be killed. One of the sisters is reluctant because of the ethical issues of this but eventually all three leave together to begin hunting them down.

Jace Turner is trying to pursue a new career as a lawyer. His obsession with mutants is still present and his wife pushes him to let it go since this is what sent him down such a dark path previously. After speaking with another friend who advises him to let his mutant obsession go, Jace returns home and begins throwing away his old items related to hunting mutants. He makes a promise to his wife to let things go so they can move forward in their life.

Reed and Caitlin argue with one another about her obsession with finding Andy at the cost of neglecting Lauren and him who are still present while she is not. Lauren overhears the entire argument from her room.

Andy is struggling to be focused and present in his training, as he has been having shared dreams with Lauren. Andy later confides in Lorna about his struggles.

The Underground tracks down Evangeline and upon learning that they are trying to take on the Inner Circle, she refuses to get explicitly involved in their fight. The only lead she is willing to give them is another mutant named Erg who may have more information that will help them. She also gives them Reeva's name and the information that she was believed to have taken over the Inner Circle. Evangeline also berates John, blaming him for things going wrong in Atlanta. Later on, Caitlin and Marcos assure him he did the best that he could and that they all worked together but John continues to blame himself.

Reed tries to better understand his re-emerging powers by reading his father's old notes. Lauren comes in and he hides the notes and the two discuss old family moments and reminisce over photos from a happier time. Lauren later chooses to admit that she still has guilt over killing fifteen people back in Atlanta with her shared power with Andy. She wants Andy to come home but she also doesn't want this because of the threat that she and him pose when their powers are combined.

Andy tries to call the clinic in an effort to reach Lauren but when his father takes the call instead, he remains silent on the line before hanging up and destroying the phone. Unbeknownst to him, one of he members of the Inner Circle has been spying on him and calls Reeva to inform her of Andy's attempt to contact his family. When Andy continues to struggle in his training, Reeva considers killing Andy as she doesn't believe he can be let free if he isn't going to be fully committed to their cause. When he is open with her about his struggles regarding his connection to his family she decides to spare his life and gives him a pep-talk to get him re-focused in his training.

Marcos struggles over missing Lorna and the baby but after remembering a happier time with her he shines a beacon in the sky. She sees it, knowing that it's him saying hello, and goes to tell her baby Dawn about it. But upon checking on Dawn, Lorna finds that she has fallen ill.

Manifest S01E02 "Reentry" Recap


The NSA keeps the Flight 828 passengers/crew in custody to question them about the plane's explosion but have to let them go since they don't know anything and there's no hard evidence that will allow them to be detained any longer. They are however, warned to not speak to the media.

Ben's strange new abilities are escalating to the point of him beginning to hear music. While walking around he follows it until it leads him to a fellow passenger playing the same melody on a violin on the street. The man's name is Radd and he says he's been hearing the melody all day just like Ben. It's unclear why they are hearing it but Ben learns that Radd needs help contacting his son Adio who ended up behind bars while Adio was on the flight. He was only thirteen when Radd left to play with a philharmonic in Jamaica and now Adio is in Rikers Island for a robbery he says he didn't commit.

Michaela has to meet with a psychiatrist to discuss her experiences to prove she is competent to return to her duties as a police officer. She is approved to return to the job but must continue her sessions. Michaela is further thrown off when she has an awkward encounter with Lourdes, her former best friend who married Jared while Michaela went missing. Ben enlists Michaela's help to get him and Radd the opportunity to visit Adio in prison. They two continue to investigate the robbery to try to ascertain what actually happened.

Michaela overhears Grace speaking on the phone with a man she was involved with while Ben was gone. Grace plans to tell Ben but simply hasn't found the right time to do so. She feels conflicted and guilty, not wanting anyone to get hurt in the process despite its inevitability.

Michaela later goes through her Facebook anncount and finds that Lourdes had been consistently writing her messages and annual birthday well-wishes while she was missing. With the help of the counseling she is reinstated but will need to continue her visits. She decides to forgive Lourdes and the two mend their fractured friendship, with Michaela lying to her saying that she had planned to decline Jared's proposal despite flashbacks proving the contrary to be the case.

Olive brings Ben to a storage locker where she had kept old possessions belonging to her brother. In the process she admits to Ben that Grace has been seeing someone. Ben hears the music in his head once again and it leads him to another storage locker nearby where the store owner's son has stashed the robbed items and is talking on the phone to an accomplice. He was the real criminal and framed Adio. He offers to give Ben half the supply but Ben punches him unconscious instead and calls the police. The man is arrested and Adio is freed. Ben struggles to understand what's happening and struggles while discussing the strange happenings with Michaela.

Ben returns home with Olive from the storage unit, who brings her brother a box of his old things so he can feel more acclimated to returning home despite everything else having changed. While Ben helps his son unpack the box, Grace brings Olive outside the room. Olive tells her mother that she is now the one who needs to let go, referring to the other relationship she has been in while Ben was missing. Ben and Grace later discuss her other relationship, with Ben promising that he forgives her and still loves her. He wants to start their relationship anew and Grace agrees, reaffirming their mutual love.

Finally, Kelly, another one of the passengers from Flight 828 is murdered. Kelly was the one passenger that had defied orders and spoken to the media.
