ConFusion 2015: Panels & Author D&D
Posted by Meg
ConFusion is just around the corner in January, and Peat’s panels and events have just been announced! Check ’em out:
Friday 5pm: Visual versus Textual Reading/Intelligence
Most movies/shows are judged by critics on their textual intelligence – the plot, the dialogue, etc. But visual intelligence is also important, and often missed in professional criticism. Tumblr memes spend days going over the tiniest visual cue in Captain America, while Pacific Rim is called “a dumb movie” – how can we improve our visual intelligence?
Saturday 9am-12pm: Author D&D
Watch a group of fantasy authors play classic D&D. We have an awesome roster for this year’s game including Joe Abercrombie, Diana Rowland, Wesley Chu, Jim C. Hines, Myke Cole, and Doug Hulick.
Saturday 3pm: How to Raise Your Nerd
Fannish parents discuss raising the next generation of fans.
Saturday 4pm: Mass Autograph Session
Sunday 11am: The Comics Code
Where have all the diverse, feminist comics gone? How about the 1930s and 40s, in the days before the Comics Code?
ConFusion will take place on January 16-18th, 2015 at the Dearborn Doubletree Hotel, 5801 Southfield Expressway Detroit, Michigan. Register Here. RSVP to the event on Facebook here.
