Fans of WEBTOON and congoers alike can rejoice that WEBTOON Entertainment Inc., the global entertainment company and largest storytelling platform, will be debuting at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, Washington from March 5th through 8th this year. They are boasting a dedicated section in the Artist Alley, Creator-focused panels, and portfolio reviews with WEBTOON editors.
Check out specific information below:
Two specific panels will be hosted by WEBTOON, allowing the audiences to gain behind-the-scenes insight from real Creator experiences and WEBTOON editors. They’ll cover how to get started with webcomics, staying inspired, and turning creative passions into sustainable work.
The lineup looks stellar, too. It includes a variety of creators, from different genres and different professions within WEBTOON. The panels feature writers, artists, and editors! I would be particularly excited to hear from Jjolee (Cuffing Cupid creator) and the Night Owl & Summer Skies artist since those are two webcomics I’ve either read or am currently reading.
