They experience many hilarious situations and misadventures together, due to their unique relationship, that even gets their families, friends, like Ataru’s childhood friend Shinobu, classmates, or others involved in them. When certain alien visitors like Lum’s friends are added it gets even crazier, especially with her younger cousin Ten who constantly fights Ataru. Despite the problems they experience, Lum and Ataru who actually love each other sometimes do have intimate moments together.

Comics Arts Conference Session #1: Defining the Superhero Today: Mission, Identity, and Community in Comics

Friday March 27, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm PDT

Room 210

What makes a superhero a superhero, and why does it matter now? Building on Peter Coogan's defining criteria of mission, powers, heroic identity, costume, and generic distinction, this interactive panel examines how these elements shape both classic and contemporary understandings of the superhero genre. Antero Garcia (Stanford University), Susan Kirtley (Portland State University), and Peter Carlson (Green Dot Public Schools) introduce a practical, classroom-tested rubric for analyzing superhero construction, drawing from their comics pedagogy framework and community-centered activities. After modeling how Coogan's criteria illuminate characters across publishers and eras, panelists guide attendees through hands-on evaluation and rapid-creation exercises. Participants name, assess, and finally design their own superheroes rooted in real-world identities, communities, and needs. This session invites scholars, educators, and fans to rethink the superhero not merely as a genre figure but as a cultural tool for storytelling, self-authorship, and collective imagination.

Room 210

As a cartoonist and animation director, 2026 Eisner Hall of Fame inductee Lee Marrs' legacy is wide-reaching and topical. Marrs was one of the first women underground cartoonists, serving as a founding mommy of Wimmen's Comix, the first all-women comics series, and created her infamous underground series The Further Fattening Adventures of Pudge, Girl Blimp. In the 1980s, she was one of the first women to work for both Marvel and DC, and in the 1990s, she worked for Dark Horse, writing two Indiana Jones miniseries. Lee and moderator Sydney Heifler (The Ohio State University) will discuss Marrs's contributions to underground, mainstream, and fantasy comics and how her comics have sparked conversations about women's bodies, sexual orientation, and race within feminist and comic book narratives. This spotlight concludes with a look at Marrs' latest work and her ongoing effort to create comics that speak to important social, cultural, and political moments.

Room 300C

It doesn't matter whether you've written the most brilliant and entertaining script the industry has ever seen; if you can't pitch it, you're dead in the water. Do you have what it takes? If you found yourself on an elevator with Steven Spielberg and he was getting off on the eighth floor, what would you say to him? What could you possibly pitch to him that would motivate him to say, "Wow! That's an intriguing idea. Let's go to my office and discuss it some more?" Let's find out. In this panel, a handful of individuals will be selected to pitch an idea to the moderator and fellow WonderCon attendees, as the panel simulates that stressful yet promising elevator ride. Each pitch will be judged on its merits and voted on by the audience. Moderated by Jimmy Diggs (original content producer, screenwriter for Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine).

What does a producer do? Most people think it's about handling production and the funds necessary to complete it, but it's more than that. Ron Diamond has worked tirelessly representing mostly little-known artist animators and seeking out opportunities for them. Many of these directors live outside the U.S. and would not necessarily have been discovered had it not been for their working with Ron, allowing him to introduce them to the advertising market in the U.S. and oversee their productions. This panel presents examples of the personal work of several directors and the commissioned work they created for American and international markets.

Room 204C

Most creators have no trouble coming up with great ideas for new comics, but they often struggle to speak clearly and concisely about those ideas to other people. Giving a good pitch is a vital skill in bringing your project to life. Fortunately, it's also a skill you can learn and improve with practice—and Pitch Review is a great place to do that. If you're someone who wants to get better at pitching your work (and especially if you're a writer or artist attending the Comic Creator Connection immediately after this event), this is your chance to practice giving your pitch and get some invaluable help from a professional writer and speaker coach. Pitch reviews will be conducted by Douglas Neff, a professional speechwriter, speaker coach, and host of the Comic Creator Connection. This is not a typical panel. These are three- to five-minute individual coaching sessions for as many people as can be accommodated in the scheduled time. Spaces are allotted on a first-come, first-served basis, and everyone is welcome to watch and learn from the sessions.

Masks, Myth, and Meximalism: The World of Jorge R. Gutierrez

Friday March 27, 2026 5:00pm - 6:00pm PDT

Room 300A

From El Tigre and The Book of Life to I, Chihuahua, and El Guapo vs. the Narco Vampires, Jorge R. Gutierrez has built one of the most unmistakable visual worlds in modern animation—where Lucha Libre spectacle, Mesoamerican mythology, bold Meximalist design, and raw emotional storytelling collide. In this exclusive WonderCon conversation presented by ASIFA-Hollywood, Gutierrez reveals how the theatrical energy of wrestling—its masks, archetypes, legacy, and larger-than-life drama—transforms into unforgettable animated characters and richly layered worlds. He is joined by character designer and voice actress Sandra Equihua (El Tigre, The Book of Life, Maya and the Three, El Guapo, and I, Chihuahua,) and art director/visual development artist Roman Laney (El Tigre, The Book of Life, El Guapo, and I, Chihuahua). This creative team shares behind-the-scenes insights into their collaborative process, artistic evolution, and the fearless world-building that defines their work.

Ray Harryhausen: An Animated Life

Friday March 27, 2026 5:00pm - 6:00pm PDT

Room 207

When it comes to motion picture special effects, there is one name that personifies movie magic: Ray Harryhausen (1920–2013). Film historian Dr. Mark Glassy examines the work of the master animator and special effects creator, who produced stop-motion animation effects known as "dynamation," in which animated stop-motion characters interact with the live-action world. Some of Harryhausen's films include Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, and Jason and the Argonauts. The stop-motion battle between Jason and seven skeletal figures in Jason and the Argonauts is considered one of the greatest frame-by-frame sequences ever filmed.

Film audiences have heard the critique before, that too many sequels, remakes, and similar projects are released each year, with little-to-no push toward more original ideas and stories.

At the elite Tohtsuki Academy cooking school that’s staffed by famous culinary chefs only the fittest survive. Soma Yukihira, a lowly short-order cook, knowing only a handful of students had actually graduated, is determined to graduate as well. Despite efforts from its culinary giants, who try to upend his plans, Soma shows these snobs that anything they can dish out he can also serve it up, and impresses them by continuing to make dishes far better than anything they ever imagined, as he’s vowed to also graduate as top ranked student.

Finally gaining back his passion of being a hero again, Saitama, along with his cyborg disciple Genos, is now ready to begin his new official duties of being a professional hero.

To make matters far worse, it seems that its heroes are being hunted. The Earth is doomed unless Saitama, with one punch, can save the day.

Comic Book Law School®: The ABCs of Copyright and Trademark Law

Friday March 27, 2026 6:30pm - 7:30pm PDT

Room 210

Creative passion and keen business sense don't always go hand in hand, and that's one of the reasons why many creators put off taking steps to protect their rights. But with an ever-growing appetite for new content and artificial means for laypersons to generate creative works with simple prompts, it has never been more important for creators to "get their ducks in a row" as soon as they can to protect themselves and their creations. But comics creators have their own Defenders they can turn to—and not just Jennifer Walters and Matt Murdock—as noted IP attorney Michael Lovitz (author of The Trademark and Copyright Book comic book) returns to WonderCon along with IP attorney Alana Friedman to bring attendees the information needed to protect their creative works. This Comic Book Law School session tackles the basics of protection and ownership of ideas, works of authorship, characters, names, and branding, giving creators information to help them protect their creative works from conception through publication and beyond. Attendees will participate in an interactive discussion about rights available to authors and creators under U.S. copyright and trademark laws, as well as some of the problems and pitfalls they may face, some important contract “dos and don'ts,” and (time permitting) a brief discussion on why written agreements can be unsung heroes and why not all generative A.I. programs are villains. Please note: The Comic Book Law School seminars are designed to provide relevant information and practice tips to practicing attorneys, as well as practical tips to creators and other professionals who may wish to attend. However, the seminar is presented for information and entertainment purposes only, and the information presented and opinions expressed at the seminars do not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.

Young bubbly Hana Uzaki is thrilled that she is attending the same college as her fellow high school upperclassman, Shinichi Sakurai.

How to Win the War on Truth: The Panel

Room 207

For centuries, people shared stories to explain the world and our place in it. But in a public sphere that's increasingly online, storytellers are no longer tribal elders or Hollywood screenwriters. They're marketers, political strategists, and troll farms weaving stories designed to misinform, mislead, and manipulate. So what can be done about it? Using humorous comic art from his graphic novel, author Samuel C. Spitale (How to Win the War on Truth) will provide a crash course in media literacy to help concerned citizens become more savvy media consumers.

Are you a writer with a great idea for a comic book series, but you can't draw? Or maybe you're an artist looking to illustrate an incredible story, but you can't write. WonderCon is proud to once again host the Comic Creator Connection, a fast-paced networking event that puts writers and artists together to help them meet new creative partners. Here's how it works: In a two-hour period, writers and artists will sit down across from each other at a table. (And by artists, we mean pencillers, inkers, colorists, etc.—all are welcome!) Then, in five-minute sessions, you will talk one-on-one with each other about your ideas and skills. At the end of each five-minute period, you will get up and move on to the next person. If you're interested in furthering the conversation, you'll exchange contact information. Think of it as speed-dating but for writers and artists! Pro Tip: The room often fills up, so come early for the best chance at getting in. Seating begins at 6:45 PM.

GG4G superfan panelists Brian Slape, Peyton Slape, Jason Wilkerson, Robert Lanuza, Stephen Fromm, and Joe Queen take part in a fast-paced, lighthearted, and interactive debate as they tackle some of pop culture's hotly contested questions of all time. No topic is off limits as the panelists and audience weigh in to challenge each other's logic. This debate is not just about winning, but about what makes fandom fun.
