The San Diego Comicon 2006 begins Thursday, ending Sunday, with a preview tonight. Now this sounds like a comic book convention, and it sorta is, but its become a big multimedia coming out party for not just comics, but Hollywood, toys, video games and others. Think of it as Cannes, comics, CES, Toyfair and bunch of others shows all crammed together for the weekend of panels, reveals and discussions. I wish I was there.
For those lucky enough to go, here is the schedule of Transformers related panels:
July 20th
3-4pm IDW Publishing
Reveals the next years worth of comic plans with several TF comics artists, writers and editors.
4-5pm Hasbro and Sony
The TF design and marketing teams show upcoming plans for Transformers Cybertron and Transformers Classics line (sweet!). Also sony will be discussing the 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD of Transformers: The Movie.
July 21st
1:30-2:30pm IDW Publishing
Another panel with IDW, more of a tour of all of the IDW is making in the coming year beyond just Transformers.
2:30-3:30 Paramount Pictures
Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonabentura will be hand along with other Paramount folks to discuss their upcoming picture slate...including Transformers. Hopefully news will come from this and other reveals.
Finally Friday, G4 TV is promising a "Transformers Exclusive" during their live coverage of Comicon that is beginning at 8:00pm EST, 5:00PST. No clue what that means, but knowing that station I am not expecting much. Might be worth tuning in anyway.
Any case, that means this weekend losts of news will becoming out on the next years projects for video games, comics, TV and movies. That means Transformers! That means tidbits and reveals, that means information to share and information to send me for those lucky enough to go.
