Continuing my Kapow experience we attended a couple of the panels. I think given more time I would have liked to have attended the Thor movie panel plus obviously it would have been nice to actually get in for the Marshal Law one but, never mind.
First panel was the Breaking into Comics the Marvel way which despite the lack of CB Cebulski was still a fascinating insight into breaking into comics in general.
The 2nd panel we attended was the Kapow Surprise Panel which was given by Noel Clarke, who was a most interesting and enthusiastic bloke and throughly enjoyable panel. We were all left trying to work out which former Dark Horse IP he had just got the rights to film.
My experience of Kapow was a great one, some problems which I had expected to face were a bit of inexperience in terms of organisation and some issues with queue for panels which despite the confusion was negated by the fact that the panel areas were very sizeable. Couple of things they could definitely improve on were simple ones:
- If you are going to have a panel, raise the panel area up so people further back than the first 5 rows can actually see the panel guests
- If you are going to have a large screen behind the panel guests why not actually have it displaying a camera feed of the people talking as opposed to just the event logo!!
- Allow for more room to queue for the panels and the signing areas
- Perhaps have a larger less narrow area for the stands and perhaps next time scale it up a little bit so there can be more stall holders
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am looking forward to Kapow Comic Con 2012 being even bigger and better.
