Andy Ihnatko to moderate the “Vision Machine” panel at the New York Comic-Con

By Greg Pak
I’m thrilled to report that beloved tech journalist Andy Ihnatko will moderate the “What is the Vision Machine?” panel October 10 at the New York Comic-Con, where I’ll be debuting my latest creator-owned work.
“Vision Machine” depicts a world in which a revolutionary piece of personal technology rewrites all the rules. Andy is one of the writers who’s most tuned into the real-world technology that’s changing everything even as we speak. It’s a huge honor to have him moderating the panel — can’t wait to hear what he has to say!
We’ll announce more panelists very soon.
In the meantime, check out what you’ll be taking home for FREE if you attend the panel.
