Will there be MLP announcements? TMNT? Jem? Who knows, but I will be there yo bring you all the updates as they happen from IDW's Greatest Panel of all Time!
Be sure to check it out after the break!
Panel is over! Enjoy the show notes!
We've been let into the panel room. IDW is putting together the final touches on their set up.
Surprisingly the room isn't packed, but when I looked outside the queue to get in was still being processed into the show.
And the panel begins. Panelists are introduced.
New series. Luna the Vampire. NOTE: This is not Princess Luna but a completely new property from IDW!
Jem and the Holgrams announcement. Something goes wrong with Syngery and Jem goes dark!

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
