It’s that time of year where we announce the “Big” news hot off the PR desks of many major studios and let you, the avid reader, know who is going to be at Con to sit at a very long table and jabber about the importance of their product.
I will start with Adult Swim as I am a fan. I never miss the “Children’s Hospital” panel. Never. And I would never miss it. Try to stop me. The show was created by the ever bald and always funny Rob Corddry and he has assembled some of the funniest people in the history of anything to bring you tiny 15 minute long episodes of love.
This is also where “The Swim” (cool kids call it that) will pull out “Robot Chicken,” “The Venture Bros.” and “Aqua Teen Whatever and Something”.
This will take place at the Hilton Bayfront-Indigo Ballroom, not at the actual center.
Here is the breakdown.
