DC Comics is all in on New York Comic Con (NYCC 2024) this year, with three big panels highlighting their comic book lineup. Those include a spotlight on Gotham City, one on DC All In/Absolute Universe, and your iconic, mysterious Jim Lee and Friends panel.
Kicking things off on Thursday with “DC’s Gotham City,” Alex Segura, Christian Ward, Dan Watters, Hayden Sherman, and Tate Brombal will be on hand to chat about the Dark Knight and friends. That panel promises “news and surprises,” so stay tuned to this same Bat-channel for more info to come.
Next up on Friday is a packed panel focusing on “DC’s Absolute/All In Universes.” That insanely packed panel will feature — deep breath — Al Ewing, Clayton Henry, Dan Mora, Daniel Sampere, Hayden Sherman, Jason Aaron, Jeff Lemire, Jeremy Adams, Joshua Williamson, Nick Dragotta, Nick Robles, Ram V, Scott Snyder, and Tom King. The panel is an hour and fifteen minutes long, which is almost enough time for everyone to go around and say their names.
And wrapping things up (panel-wise, at least) for DC Comics is Saturday’s “Jim Lee & Friends.” That’s usually where the Publisher drops their biggest announcements. I’ll also note, and pure speculation here: This panel is being held until 2:30 pm; at 4:45 pm, James Gunn will hit the Empire Stage for a big panel on Creature Commandos and the new DCU. Will one of Jim Lee’s surprise friends be Gunn? Hmmm…
