11:00am | Saturday Morning Comic-toons
Join Teen Titans Go writer J Torres for some interactive fun.
“Hey, folks! J. Torres here, your host for “Saturday Morning Comic-toons”! What is that you ask? Well, it’s a comic book reading! It’s a slideshow! It’s like an old timey radio play! It’s all of the above. Plus, it’s all-ages, so kids, bring yer grown-ups!
I’m also looking for any aspiring voice actors or other theatrical types to volunteer to do the voices for Starfire and Raven (from Teen Titans Go), a really good “evil queen,” and other fun characters!
Or you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories! See you there?”
