The Ranting Guide to NYCC’s Literary Events

To go along with our guide to the attending authors at this year’s New York Comic Con, we also have a guide of the literary panels and various author events. Keep in mind that while some locations are listed, this does NOT include the location of every single event.  Also, a word to the wise:  nothing is ever set in stone at con until five minutes after it’s over, so keep attentive and be ready to adjust.

Note: Panels marked with a triple asterisk (***) are panels which Garrett is planning on attending, no matter what. A double asterisk (**) signifies that it is an event which Garrett will attempt to attend. A single asterisk (*) means that it is an event which Garrett may try to attend, if it fits in his schedule.
