WonderCon 2023

2022 was a referendum on fair terms for comics creators. Everything from work-life balance and compensation to control of creators’ intellectual property and how their work is marketed has come to the forefront of industry conversations. With the explosion of digital comics platforms and crowdfunding, hear from creators who are taking control of their own destinies and learn what creators who have never been published before should be looking for in their contracts and representation. Panelists include Ringo Award nominee Leeanne M. Krecic (Let’s Play, Dragon King Oath), New York Times bestselling author Nick Seluk (Heart & Brain, Lars the Awkward Yeti), and Eisner nominee Ryan Benjamin (Brothers Bond, Stan Lee’s Genesis), along with attorney Matt Sugarman (Weintraub Tobin and Rocketship Entertainment CEO) and creator Tom Akel.
