Watch Amy Chu, Yoshi Yoshitani, Alys Arden talk about creating compelling characters for YA and middle-grade comics and graphic novels

Comics were born out of appealing to young adults, and that's coming full circle again with the modern boom of YA and middle grade comics and graphic novels. But how are they made? Comic creators Alys Arden, Amy Chu, and Yoshi Yoshitani gathered at Emerald City Comic Con 2022 to talk about that, and specifically creating characters for those, in a panel at the Seattle Convention Center.

Popverse filmed this and many other panels at ECCC this year, and making them one of two ways - by becoming a Popverse member at the 'Fan' level (or higher), or by buying a ECCC digital ticket. The ECCC digital ticket gives you access to live video panels streamed at ECCC from the Main Stage, VOD panels from three other stages, and access to all the great content from Popverse for 30 days. The Popverse membership does that for the entire year, and would include live video panels from the upcoming New York Comic Con, MCM London Comic Con in October, and (yes) next year's Emerald City Comic Con and C2E2.
