Igniting Romance in Comics Thursday, July 23rd 7:00pm – 8:00pm Room 3ABC Love is in the air . . . and in your favorite comics. Despite a long and storied history in the medium of comics, romance comics have been less prevalent in recent years. Creator Jamie S. Rich (The Dogsitter, Ares & Aphrodite), Jim McCann (The Other/Half), Olivia Dufault (Love Ignited), Tini Howard (Gotham City Sirens), and Leah Williams (Voyeur) discuss the importance and resurgence of romance comic series in a post-BookTok, romantasy world. Moderated by bookseller Grace Cook from the famed romance-focused independent bookstores, The Ripped Bodice.
Doing Comics Differently: Ignition Press Year One and Beyond Friday, July 24th 12:00pm – 1:00pm Room 23ABC Ignition Press co-founders Filip Sablik (publisher), Jamie S.

Pearson (The Patron)—reflect on their inaugural year and unlock announcements for their next phase of publishing. Every attendee will receive a secret, exclusive free giveaway.
Estranged from his family and living under a government-issued alias, ex-black ops agent Morgan Power endures a life in suburban exile as a delivery driver for a major global courier company. It’s a 180 from his action-packed classified work abroad, until a routine shift puts him in the crosshairs of a domestic terrorist takedown. Trapped in the parking garage of a besieged corporate office park, Power goes back to basics with nothing but his survival skills and a delivery van full of unopened packages—and endless possibilities—to fight his way from floor to floor and free the hostages. But some boxes hold more trash than treasure, and Powers will also have to contend with his intensifying PTSD as the situation escalates and time runs out.

Heel…sit…stay—for a summer rom-com with bark and bite!
Gemma Monroe should be reveling in her ’20s. Instead, she’s on a leave of absence from veterinarian school to save for rising tuition, stacking shifts at a flower shop and juggling her side gig as a dogsitter. Gemma’s favorite canine client—an Akita with an identity crisis—comes with the most demanding dog-mom: Portia Ross, a high-powered executive with deep pockets who sees Gemma as a pet project of her own. It’s delicate, but Gemma knows that getting her life back on track means this customer is always right. And the policy works…until Gemma locks eyes with the charming Neal Mandell, and what starts as a welcome casual fling unleashes a transactional love triangle that could throw her future to the dogs.
