To kick off a new year of cons, my first stop is Portland Comic Con! I love this city and the community- and I’m super excited to be among fellow Oregon fans, artist, and cosplayers. It’s such an honor to work with the Wizard World team and to participate in a few panels. I’ll have a chance to facilitate discussions about multiethnic heroes, Doctor Who, and to have one-on-ones with Yaphet Kotto, Alan Tudyk and Stephen Amell. It’s gonna be a great con and I hope to see you out there. Here are the panels I am moderating- leave a comment if you have a question for me to ask!
FRIDAY, JANUARY 23
THE MOST RACIST PANEL EVER! (B110) 4:30-5:15
The pop culture explosion through gaming, comics, TV, and film has opened up new opportunities for cultural diversity; however, many challenges and obstacles still exists in today’s media. In this humorous but poignant discussion, diverse geek experts and comic creators will discuss breaking ethnic stereotypes and what changes need to happen for us to boldly go into the future.
DOCTOR WHO CELEBRATION (B119) 6:00-6:45PM
Join us for a wibbly wobbly time as ‘Whovians’ gather to discuss the latest adventures with our favorite Time Lord and companion. What do you think of Peter Capaldi? What are your thoughts on Season 8? A panel of local Whovian experts will explore the significance of the past 5 decades, thoughts on the 12th Doctor, and speculate on the future of Doctor Who.

Hello Tony Kim! Sorry to ask so far in advance but are you planning on hitting up the Wondercon in Anaheim this year?
Yes! But probably only Saturday.
You did a fantastic job moderating the Stephen Amelll panel. You kept the conversation going and had a nice mix of questions from you and the fans. I love when the moderator has control of the room like you so clearly did! A+
Thanks so much! That really means a lot to me. Hope you enjoyed the overall con and thanks for commenting!
That is super kind of you! It was a blast and Stephen was genuinely a cool guy on stage and off. Glad you enjoyed it and i hope you loved your time at PCC. Thx for commenting!
