Panel Room 2, Queen's Suite

With romance thriving in today's publishing, creators continue to find fresh, funny, heartfelt, and unexpected ways to tell stories about love and relationships. Join Brandt&Stein, Renée Nault, Salomey Doku and Oliver Gerlach, for a conversation exploring the many forms romance takes in contemporary comics.

From rom-coms and queer love stories to fantasy, historical fiction, and slice-of-life, moderator Phoebe Hedges, editor at Titan Comics, will lead the discussion of how creators approach believable relationships, balancing emotion with visual storytelling, and why romance continues to resonate with readers across genres.
