Where Do We Go From Here?  A Roundtable Discussion on the Future of Comics

Moderator: Chris Oarr

Panelists: All hands on deck!

After a week of spirited discussion covering a wide array of industry issues, our final panel charts a course for the future of comics.  Will comics remain a viable medium in and of itself, or will the industry become only a development vehicle for movies and other media?  What role will the internet play in the creation and delivery of comics?  Will the last person to leave please shut out the lights?  You and our entire crew of artists, writers, and other comics professionals will attack these questions head on and with candor in what will surely be a lively exchange.
