WIKIA [LIVE] PRESENTS: LEARN FROM THE MASTERS

Afro Samurai. Hells Angels. Lone Wolf and Cub. Ninja Scroll. What do these titles have in common? They represent some of the greatest works in anime/manga, from an equally diverse group of creators. “New school” artists like Shin-ichi Hiromoto and Takashi Okazaki; legends like Kazuo Koike and Masao Maruyama. Join Wikia as we celebrate these “industry leaders” by putting the spotlight on their careers, their works, and what the future has in store for them. Now’s your chance to get up close and personal with some of the genre’s greatest. Who knows? They may just offer some advice that sets you on your own path to stardom.

PANELISTS:

Kazuo Koike (Crying Freeman, Lone Wolf and Cub), Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai), Shin-ichi Hiromoto (Hells Angels) and Masao Maruyama (Trigun, Ninja Scroll, Studio Madhouse).

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1:45 PM – 2:45 PM

WIKIA [LIVE] PRESENTS: THE MASTERS OF ANIMANGA

Throughout the month of September, manga/anime legends Kazuo Koike, Yoshitaka Amano, Takashi Okazaki, Shin-ichi Hiromoto and Masao Maruyama partnered with Wikia for “The Masters of Animanga: A Wikia Collaborative Writing Project.” This once-in-a-lifetime initiative offered Wikia community members the opportunity to write stories based on fully rendered illustrations and brief character descriptions created by these “Masters” in a one-paragraph-at-a-time format (one user contributed a paragraph to the story, then another built upon that, etc. until the project was closed). In fact, three different stories across three different genres were developed: Vampires, Girls and Samurai. Join Wikia and the “Masters” as they celebrate/unveil the three final stories and discuss this never-before-attempted fan collaboration. The future of this style of storytelling – one that takes the legitimizing of “fan fiction” to a whole new level – will also be discussed!

PANELISTS:

Kazuo Koike (Crying Freeman, Lone Wolf and Cub), Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai), Shin-ichi Hiromoto (Hells Angels), Hiro Ikegami (Space Battleship Yamato 2199) and Masao Maruyama (Trigun, Ninja Scroll, Studio Madhouse)

STARZ Original Series at NYCC


 
Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Outlander”),
David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, “Da Vinci’s Demons”) and Jonathan E. Steinberg (“Jericho,” “Human Target,” “Black Sails”)
to present their Starz Original Series at
New York Comic Con 2013

Description: Description: Description: \\Seg.corp.root\groups\Communications\CORPORATE\LOGOS (Corporate)\STARZ Taking You Places\stz_pre_typ_bk_rgb.jpg

Starz will present three of its upcoming series at a panel on Friday, October 11, 2013 during New York Comic Com including the Ronald D. Moore executive produced, highly anticipated new series “Outlander,” based on The New York Times bestselling novels penned by Diana Gabaldon; season two of the David S. Goyer historical adventure “Da Vinci’s Demons” and the much awaited pirate drama “Black Sails” from the mind of Jonathan E. Steinberg, executive produced by Michael Bay.

“Black Sails” had its first debut at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2013 where fans were given a sneak peek at the first episode. The series was extremely well received and is sure to be welcomed by the masses following its January premiere. After a successful first season, “Da Vinci’s Demons” returns with all new twists and betrayal. This will be the first presence for “Outlander,” a series based on a book whose fans wait with bated breath to see how Jamie and Claire’s tale will be brought to the small screen.

Steven Smith of MTV Geek and popular iTunes podcast “Going Off Track” will moderate the panel. Smith previously hosted Fuse’s IMX, the network’s first live music/talent interview show, which became Daily Download.  Following Download, Smith was awarded his own daily program: Steven’s Untitled Rock Show, which ran an amazing 700 episodes. 


ABOUT “Outlander”
The “Outlander” series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one grandiose tale. It follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

                “Da Vinci’s Demons” Season Two
Florence is thrown into chaos in the wake of the Pazzi conspiracy, so Leonardo da Vinci pushes the limits of his mind and body to defend the city against the forces of Rome.  When the dust settles, friends are buried and rivalries enflamed.  While the Medicis go to unthinkable lengths to deal with new threats, da Vinci continues on his quest to find the fabled Book of Leaves and uncover the secret history of his mother.  He'll come to realize that he has lethal competition in his quest -- new enemies who may be even worse than the forces of Pope Sixtus.  His search will take him to faraway lands and force him to reevaluate everything he knew about the world and his own history.

“Black Sails”
The pirate adventure “Black Sails” centers on the tales of Captain Flint and his men and takes place twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic “Treasure Island.” Flint, the most brilliant and most feared pirate captain of his day, takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by the name John Silver. Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight for the survival of New Providence Island, the most notorious criminal haven of its day – a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality.
 
                “Black Sails” will debut with an eight-episode season in January 2014, exclusively on STARZ.
