Legend Of Vox Machina NYCC Panel

Hey O&G Fans, New York Comic Con 2022 was awesome this year. From the four new levels for panel space to all the great vendors this year. I got the chance to attend the Legend of Vox Machina panel and if haven’t watched Season one, catch up on prime video.

Vox Machina’s crew consists of the half-elven archer twins Vax (Liam O’Brien) and Vex Vessar (Laura Bailey), the goliath barbarian Grog Strongjaw (Travis Willingham), the gnome bard Scanlan Shorthalt (Sam Riegel), the gnome cleric Pike Trickfoot (Ashley Johnson), the insecure druid Keyleth (Marisha Ray), and the tormented gunslinger Percy de Rolo (Taliesin Jaffe).

In my announcer voice “last season on Vox Machina” Our heros restored the sun and justice to Percy’s home kingdom of Whitestone. But upon a homecoming to their homebase kingdom of Emon, a force of dragons, called the Chroma Conclave, descended upon the region. At the start of the panel a clip of Scanlan singing a rap ditty recapping all of season 1. He did a better job of recapping season one, than my terrible written voice over lol.

The panel touched a few things we could expect from season 2. Will the rogue sex-loving Scanlan find love? Vex and Vax’s ride-or-die sibling relationship may waver. According to O’Brien, “That’s going to come into question. They’re going to have to grow outside of each other and with each other.” Pike and Grog’s friendship will also get tested, but “can’t say what it is.” She did share that “Pike does more healing.

Fans were treated to a sneak peek of the first episode picking up immediately where the first season ended Vox Machina, along with the rest of Eomn’s citizens, attempt to escape the massive invaders and the destruction they bring and of course some truly epic dragon fights on the horizon.

It was also revealed the series was green lit for a season three, but the cast members joked that they were only there to talk about season two. The panel was an enjoyable experience especially for fans of Critical Role who filled with cheers and awesome cosplay of the characters. The Legend Of Vox Machina season two premiering January 2023.

Special Edition Spider-Man Library Card Coming from NYPL and Marvel

NYPL's Special Edition Spider-Man Library Card Coming October 11

The New York Public Library and Marvel to Issue Special Edition Spider-Man Library Card


Knowledge is power! Scale new heights with NYPL's special, limited-edition Spider-Man library card, available in branches starting October 11. Tap into the power of reading with book recommendations, including a multitude of Marvel graphic novels, plus free programs, events, and more for all ages at your friendly neighborhood library.

The New York Public Library (NYPL) and Marvel Entertainment join forces to release a special, limited-edition Spider-Man library card on October 11 to inspire new and existing patrons to explore a multitude of free books, resources, and programs at the Library, including Marvel graphic novels. This dynamic collaboration—which debuts just in time for New York Comic Con—marks the 60th anniversary of Spider-Man’s first comic book appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 and emphasizes the importance of reading, knowledge, and libraries to Peter Parker’s crime-fighting comic book adventures. Images of Spider-Man—alongside Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, two other iconic web-slingers—will be featured on the card, as well as on upcoming banners outside the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building and the windows of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL), exciting patrons of all ages to tap into the unique power of reading, comics, and libraries to discover their inner super hero. Details about the card and related activities are available online: nypl.org/beyondamazing

 The release of the Spider-Man card also marks the one-year anniversary of the Library’s decision to eliminate fines as a way to remove barriers to accessing the Library for all New Yorkers. This historic move was even a plot point in Marvel Comics’ Amazing Spider-Man #900, released on July 27. In a special story written by Daniel Kibblesmith, drawn by David Lopez, and colored by Nathan Fairbairn, Peter Parker returns a large stack of overdue books to the Library after learning of the elimination of late fines. Readers can check out Amazing Spider-Man #900 in a special bonus release on Marvel Unlimited, Marvel’s premier digital comics subscription service.

 

The launch of the special-edition card also marks the start of the Library’s Open House week, which begins October 11. The card will be available to new and current patrons free on a first-come, first-serve basis at all NYPL branches, located throughout the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Libraries will be hosting a variety of programs and events throughout the week, as well as featuring book displays and reading recommendations from a special reading list curated by NYPL staff.

 

“Reading is a superpower—one that provides everyone with the ability to learn, to be inspired, and understand the world more fully,” said New York Public Library President Anthony W. Marx. “At The New York Public Library we remain dedicated to providing books and resources that help New Yorkers reach new heights and working with Marvel on this exciting, limited-edition Spider-Man card reinforces the exceptional accomplishments people can achieve when they have access to information. It also states unequivocally that we think our patrons are ‘beyond amazing.’"

 

“Marvel’s history has always been rooted in telling stories on the page. And to many people, those stories taught them the joy and power of reading, whether it was their first comic book or graphic novel at a young age or the first time they shared their passion for Marvel comics with their friends and families,” said Marvel Vice President of Licensed Publishing Sven Larsen. “With so many of our most iconic moments and characters established in New York City, we’re thrilled to work with The New York Public Library to invite even more people to dive into Marvel and find their own favorites across Spider-Man’s legacy.”
