Here’s what President of Z2 Josh Bernstein had to say.

“San Diego Comic-Con is supposed to feel larger than life, and that’s exactly what we’re bringing this year. When you have Marc Maron, Bruce Dickinson,Mike McCready and David Dastmalchian all appearing as part of your weekend, you’re not just putting together a convention schedule—you’re creating moments fans will be talking about for years to come. Everything about this year’s Con feels bigger, louder, and more ambitious than anything Z2 has done before.”

The Panels For Z2 And Their Guests

Among the highlights of Z2’s San Diego Comic-Con lineup are several major publishing premieres and exclusive releases. Fans will get their first look at Marc Maron’s WTF IS A PODCAST, Les Claypool’s Frizzle Fry, the next chapter of Bruce Dickinson’s acclaimed The Mandrake Project, and Mike McCready’s Farewell to Seasons, an alternative history of Seattle’s groundbreaking 1990s music scene. Z2 will also debut new collector’s editions of fan-favorite titles created in partnership with Ice Nine Kills and “Weird Al” Yankovic, further expanding its catalog of music-driven graphic storytelling and collectibles.

Z2 has been a great place for comic creators and other people in the industry to get their stories out there. We’ve previously talked to Bruce Dickinson about his Mandrake Project comic from Z2.
