DC’s Tom Taylor and Tom King in Conversation

DC's top toms - Tom King and Tom Taylor - come together to talk Mister Miracle, Nightwing, Grayson, Injustice, and more

There's a joke on social media - based on actual events - of superhero comics writers Tom King and Tom Taylor being mistaken for one another. Maybe it's that they both are known for writing Dick Grayson. Maybe it's because they're both written Superman. But its more likely because their first names are both Tom.

Although no one would need an excuse to put these two top-tier comics writers together on a panel here at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2022, the name connection brings it over the tom (cough, top) - Tom King, Tom Taylor... tomfoolery? Between the two writers, they've written some of DC's biggest comics in the past five years, from Grayson and Nightwing to Injustice and Mister Miracle, and many things inbetween, they have a lot to discuss - but what will come of them being put together in one room, on one stage?

According to DC, they'll be talking about "what's in store for the future," with "a few surprise guests" also joining them. Our question: will they also have the first name Tom?

Popverse will be liveblogging this panel as it happens, so bookmark this website and follow along or return at the end to read the play-by-play. Keep track of this and ALL the news from this weekend with our Comic-Con International: San Diego 2022 coverage round-up.
