He's gonna be doing multiple panels, including a live reading at Arisia, if I had the money to make the 14 hourish drive up there I'd go hit him with that rant I went on about his Faraci bullshit a few page back just to see the look on his ugly potato face when someone takes him to task.

DC Comics v.6.5

- Comics, Panel - 1hr 15min - Marina 4 (2E)
After all the Final Crises of New Flashpoints, the sixth time’s the charm. Right? DC Comics made history more than 30 years ago with the first ever full-universe reboot, Crisis on Infinite Earths. It was a game changer back then, but now it’s become business as usual. Does this old trick really work? Or is it time to put a lock on the reset button?

DC has done the following reboots:
  1. Crisis on Infinite Earths
  2. Flashpoint
That's it. Two times. This myth that the DC universe got rebooted more than that is cooked up from idiots who don't read the books not knowing the specifics of the stories their citing.
  • Zero Hour was basically continuity clean up for some of the more convoluted aspects of the DCU, namely the Legion of Superheroes and Hawkman, but it still carried on the post crisis continuity.
  • Infinite Crisis was sort of like that, but the changes to continuity were incredibly minor and the story largely served as a sequel to and 20th anniversary celebration of the original crisis. Most the continuity stuff that occurred because of the story were cooked up and introduced deliberately as build up for story. It was less a means to clean up the messy continuity and more a story where DC started deliberately introducing out of sync elements that harkened back to the pre-crisis DCU in order to set up a story that played with the ideas the original Crisis played with.
  • Final Crisis has nothing even close to a reboot. It's just a story. It's not a reboot or a retcon or anything. It's just a story, hell, broad swaths of the DC Universe never even acknowledged that it happened.
  • DC Rebirth is actually more like a system restore. It's a bit to complicated to explain here but the basic gist of it is to retcon the Flashpoint reboot as having never been a reboot and place those stories in the context of the Post Crisis DCU. There's a lot unanswered because it's a 2 year story line and we're only a few months into it, but what we do know is that it's not erasing any stories or continuity but restoring old continuity and recontextualizing the last 5 years of the "New 52" to fit within that. It's the closest thing on the list to being a reboot while also being the EXACT OPPOSITE OF A REBOOT.
Sorry to get anal like that, but it's one of my pet peeves when people spew this stupid made up shit about DC reboots and malign all the really cool shit that went on in stuff like Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis, and DC Rebirth all to get off on their Marvel fetish. Doubly so when they are people like Bob who masquerade as knowledgeable authority figures and earn people's trust when they know nothing and then people who actually have the facts have to spend the next year listening to ignorant jack offs who got their info from other ignorant jack offs. I've long since learned to roll my eyes at most of it but Bob being bad at his job in addition to a heaping pile of garbage makes him that much more irritating. There's always legitimate criticism of shit Marvel and DC do and reboots can be part of that discussion, but framing it as something that's happened more than 2 times in 30 years is bullshit and anyone who tells you otherwise shouldn't be listened to.

I think Arisia has one of those "progressive" John Scalzi approved CoC's where if someone says it is harassment it is, meaning Bob might be able to get your ass tossed out on that basis alone...assuming you're a white male like him. Probably the fact that he's in the SJW circle jerk and presenting at the con would push all tie breakers in his direction. Meaning you'd find yourself out on Boston Common in short order talking to Moonies or Hare Krishnas and have wasted a trip.

OTOH, what WOULD be interesting would be to find somebody on the tippy top of the progressive stack, dunno maybe African-American, female and visibly disabled, stick her in a "Woman loving Women" (whichever side of the street she really walks on wouldn't matter) t-shirt and turn HER loose in the Q&A of any of his panels with your exact critique. Bob wouldn't DARE do shit. He'd probably stand there cupping his balls the way Bernie did when BLM interrupted his speech that time. Hell, have her follow him from panel to panel. That would be glorious, watching his face get pale as he sees her enter the conference room, etc.

Pity it'll never happen, but a fellow can dream, can't he?

Ghostbusters as a Creatively Successful Reboot - Media, Panel - 1hr 15min - Adams (3W)
2016’s reboot of Ghostbusters was a funny reinvigoration of a franchise that had been mired in limbo for years after a bad sequel, mediocre cartoons, and years of fanboy entitlement. We’ll discuss what we loved and what we thought could be improved about the movie, and talk about our thoughts for the future of the franchise as a whole.

So will any of these panels be filmed so we may finally get to see once and for all whether or not Bob has feet?

I've met Scalzi once. Went to a Neil Gaiman book signing in 2013 and Scalzi was the emcee for the event. This was well before Gamergate or any of that shit. Scalzi was annoying as fuck though and seemed like a bargain bin Wil Wheton.

Anyone that has Bob on that many panels has to be a failing con. Everyone kind of knows all these nerd expos are on hard times right now and I've seen way better shows with way better guest lineups all across the country go totally under in the last year and yet the one hosting an unironic live reading of Brick by Brick still stands? I have a hard time buying that.
