Hi Sabin, welcome out of lurkdom.  Other items scheduled for JMS at Comic-Con
are:

Thursday:
10:15-11:15 DC Comics Writers Unite!— Originally a successful panel at WonderCon
2010, "Comics Writers Unite!" (see the Comic-Con Souvenir Book
for a transcript)
brought together a number of special guests to talk about the art of writing.
Part of a series of programs at this year's Comic-Con celebrating "The Year of
the Writer," this panel features special guests Paul Levitz (Legion of
Super-Heroes), Dennis O'Neil (Batman, The Question), and J. Michael Straczynski
(Superman, Wonder Woman), along with Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Secret Six),
Judd Winick (Justice League: Generation Lost, Power Girl), and moderator James
Robinson (Starman, Justice League of America). Room 6DE

Friday:
2:00-3:30 Comics Arts Conference Session #8: Where Are the Action Chicks?—
Katrina Hill (ActionFlickChick.com), Jill Pantozzi (MTV Splash Page), Adrianne
Curry (America's Next Top Model), Cindy Morgan (Tron), Luci Romberg
(Zombieland), Jen Stuller (Ink-Stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors), Gina
Misiroglu (Encyclopedia of Women in Popular Culture), Marjorie Liu (Black
Widow), and J. Michael Straczynski (Wonder Woman) discuss why comics,
television, and movies do not depict more action heroines and look specifically
at why movies starring traditional comic book superheroines are nearly
nonexistent. Room 26AB

and

3:00-4:00 Superman: Man of Tomorrow
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s The Man of Steel - and he’s back on Earth and
primed to take 2010 by storm! Don’t miss members of the exciting new Superman
creative teams as they discuss their plans for Superman, Lex Luthor, Superboy,
Supergirl and more led by DC Group Editor Matt Idelson with Paul Cornell (Action
Comics), Shane Davis (Superman: Earth One), Sterling Gates (Supergirl), Jeff
Lemire (Superboy), J. Michael Strazcynski (Superman: Earth One, Superman) and
more! Room 6DE

Saturday is his spotlight as you posted above.  Unusually, I don't see that JMS
is doing a writing panel this year but I imagine he'll be extra-busy with all of
the comics-related things.  I'm sure there will be a few autograph sessions, as
well.

So who else will be there?  I managed to get a ticket when they sold returned
passess a week or so back.  I know Jon will be there.  Charlie?  How about you?

Jan
