NYCC 2021 | Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix

Infusing geekiness into everyday fashion is easier than it’s ever been thanks to the growing nerd fashion industry.

We’re bringing together a diverse lineup of geeky fashion bloggers to give our audience styling tips that they can actually take home to their own wardrobes. Each of our panelists will showcase a unique geeky style (for example a cutesy kawaii look or a vampy outfit inspired by Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows). Our panelists will discuss their outfit providing helpful tips about how they put it together and how others can replicate it (like tying a knot in a boxy graphic tee or pulling colors and textures from fictional characters into a bounding look). We’ll also send everyone home with a digital copy of the information taught in this panel.

Comics give rise to a uniquely adept storytelling Titan - the writer/artist.

The divine crown of writer/artist transcends both worlds allowing for an exclusively intimate connection between creator and reader by affixing two minds through the path of least resistance. Familiar titanous landscapes include: The beat streets of Will Eisner. The Haunted Realms of Mike Mignola. The blood-stained cities of Frank Miller. The Galactic Battlescapes of the King himself Jack Kirby. Distinct to each of these creations is the irreplaceable thumbprint of their creator's vision.

NYCC 2021 | Live from Xadia: Wonderstorm's The Dragon Prince

We’re excited to be back in person, embracing the energy of the fandom, and celebrating YOU: The Dragon Prince community! We won't be sharing any new information about The Dragon Prince series or season 4, but the panel will be full of inside peeks into our expanded universe, contests and trivia, fun prizes, and more. Chat with Wonderstorm creators and lead writers as well as voice actors. Come in cosplay, bring fan art, or ask your burning questions. Anyone willing to help act out a scene from our upcoming graphic novels with the cast? Join us on stage and become part of Xadia yourself!
