Have you considered a career in comics and graphic novels? Alumnus and career writer with more than a dozen titles, Rylend Grant, thinks you should!

The panel featured Melody Cooper (OMNI), David Avallone (Elvira Meets Vincent Price), Amanda Deibert (DC Super Hero Girls), and David Booher(Canto, Alien Bounty Hunter). As Hollywood becomes more and more Intellectual Property driven, the future belongs to those who create and control their own original ideas.

Did you know that the iconic Lil Jon song, "Some Cut" used a squeaky chair to create the most memorable part of the beat? How about that Timbaland's famous baby sound effect in "Are You That Somebody" almost didn't happen?
