Attendees will also be able to purchase the official Fanboy Comics t-shirt, so that they can show their geek pride in style.
In addition, you will not want to miss the Indie Creators, Unite! A Guide to Self-Publishing panel taking place on Saturday, November 1st, at 9:30 a.m. in Room 306AB, where LA-based independent comic book creators will discuss their own experiences in self-publishing, providing sage advice for creators interested in doing the same.
