Programming will begin at 7pm with "Comics: Not Only, But ALSO For Kids", an informal discussion of the universal appeal of comics, the breaking down of boundaries between kids and adult comics, and the role of sequential art in both education and entertainment. The evening will then continue with "Comics & Pop Music", a conversation on the long-standing relationship between music and comics, the two forms' shared history and common inspirations, and the new wave of music-centric titles that are poised to reach an audience beyond that of traditional comic readers. Complimentary cocktails and light refreshments will be offered throughout the panel programming, and then at 9pm, a selection of DJs and musical acts will perform. (Cash bar will be available after 9pm.) Admission is set at $20; New York Comic-Con badge holders receive a drink ticket with paid admission.
