Who has two thumbs and is massively excited for these two movies? That’s right Alice and Selene are back and I am so hyped.

To see them come back and bring Milla Jovovich and Kate Beckinsale is just all too much.
Asian Pacific American Comics and Culture — 4:15PM-5:15PM Room 1A05
If you know anything about me, you know that I am all about this panel. As an Asian American, I love any panel that not only celebrates my culture but also embraces the nerdy and geeky side of it. This is a panel you just can’t miss!

Moving Beyond the Strong Female Character — 6:45PM-7:45PM Room 1A18
You’ve heard me rail on and on about this topic again and again, and I am psyched to see this as a real panel at NYCC this year. It’s all about having well-written, fully-developed female characters, who aren’t just about being “strong”. I’m very excited for this panel.
