– "Vigilante Justice" panel, Room 29AB
Tales of
regular people taking the law into their own hands have been a staple of comics
from the beginning. Our favorite heroes are often driven to the edge, leaving
the audience to simultaneously empathize with and reject their actions.
Comic-Con special guests Jason Aaron (Southern Bastards), Rafael
Albuquerque (Batgirl), Mike Baron (The Punisher), Paul
Gulacy (Jonah Hex) and Hope Larson (Batgirl) discuss
with moderator by Vince Hernandez (Aspen Comics) what it takes to really
serve up vigilante justice!
