My First Time Running a Comic Panel Solo

Capitol City Comic Con is happening July 11-13, 2025, at the Lansing Center in Lansing, Michigan. Last year was my first time attending C4 and it did not disappoint. Like other comic cons I have attended in the past, Capitol City Comic Con had a full schedule of events. There were a lot of cosplayers, gaming, panels, after parties. comic book creators, authors, celebrities, and more.

Last year I sat on two panels. The first panel I was a part of was Hey! Spiderman Looks Like Me! The second panel was We Can Do It: Women in Geekdom. It was my first time being on a comic panel so of course I was nervous. But I got through it, and I had fun doing the panels. I received a lot of positive feedback after both panels.

This year I applied to run my own panels, and my panel applications were accepted! You just don’t know how excited I was to receive my acceptance email. What panels am I running this weekend? I knew you would ask. They are:

Earlier today I received a telephone call from the director of paneling. He asked if I wanted to be on the Spiderman Looks Like Me! panel again. Of course, I said yes, lol.

So, this weekend I am running three panels solo, and I will be a part of a fourth panel. I will let you know how it goes! If you’re in Michigan, or a neighboring state, check out Capitol City Comic Con’s website. Be sure to check out the paneling schedule and read my panel descriptions. I hope to see you there!
