Update: At the bottom of this article I've listed the panels I'll be moderating at the convention this weekend. If you're going to the con make sure to say hi!

This morning I’m happy to announce that Collider is going to be the exclusive media partner of Amazing Comic Con ALOHA. The convention runs August 24th – 26th in, you guessed it, Hawaii, and it’ll be located at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu.
