James Dashner will be at SDCC

Great news for James Dashner fans!  The author of The Maze Runne and The Eye of Minds will be at Comic Con in San Diego!

Just two months before the release of the movie ‘The Maze Runner’, James Dashner will be present for two events at Comic Con.  He’s reportedly locked to do two signings.

Here’s the info you’ll need:

FRIDAY, JULY 25

Beyond the Page, Room 24ABC, 11:30am – 12:30pm

Watching your favorite science fiction and fantasy stories come to life is a thrilling adventure; fiction is fabulous fodder for film, and graphic tales make for great games. Books often inspire multimedia projects that allow fans to fully immerse themselves in the interactive worlds authors have created. From books to movies to TV shows and games, these tales resonate with fans beyond the pages of a novel. James Frey (Endgame), Chris Weitz (The Young World), James Dashner (Maze Runner & The Rule of Thoughts), Andrew Kaplan (Homeland), Fred Van Lente (Make Comics Like Pros), James Silvani (Draw-a-sauras), and Melissa De La Cruz (Ring and the Crown) discuss life as writers in the Digital Age and how technology has transformed both their projects and the publishing industry as a whole. Moderated by Walter Jury (Scan).
