Headlining is indie auteur Kevin Smith, the man who directed Clerks, Mallrats and most recently Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. He is also a very good talker… Other guests include director Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) and comic writer Alex de Campi who will be discussing their new sci-fi graphic novel MADI: Once Upon A Time In The Future, as well as Marvel and DC legendary writer Matt Fraction. Panel events include ‘Chip on Chip’ where comiXology’s Head of Content Chip Mosher will be joined by writer and artist, Chip Zdarsky to talk about comiXology Originals series, Afterlife, Sex Criminals from Image Comics and, Daredevil and Spider-Man: Life Story from Marvel. Attendees will also be treated to the premier of the first episode of audiobook Marvel’s Black Panther: Sins of the Kin, narrated by William Jackson Harper, aka Chidi from The Good Place. There’ll also be exhibitor halls where artists can showcase their work with online shops so attendees can view and purchase some of the great art that the Thought Bubble festival celebrates. Even better? It’s free to attend. Thought Bubble is a not for profit organisation, so if you want to donate, there’ll be an open fundraising link which will go towards running costs, but there’s no obligation. The live event will hopefully return in November 2021. For the full line up of guests and events head to the Thought Bubble programme page here.
