STARZ hasannounced their plans for Comic-Con next month. Look for STARZ SDCC panels, autograph sessions and other festivities celebrating Ash vs. Evil Dead season two and the upcoming American Gods.
On the STARZ SDCC schedule is a Friday American Gods panel that is expected to include stars Ricky Whittle, Ian McShane, Yetide Badaki, Pablo Schreiber and Bruce Langley as well as showrunners Michael Green and Bryan Fuller. There will also be an American Gods booth (#4029) on the convention hall floor and an autograph session following the panel.
Based on the bestseller by Neil Gaiman, American Gods posits a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs. Its protagonist, Shadow Moon, is an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday, a conman but in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities.
The STARZ SDCC schedule then moves on to a panel celebrating season two of the hit series Ash vs. Evil Dead with stars Bruce Campbell, Lucy Lawless, Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago, Lee Majors and Ted Raimi planning to join executive producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert. There’s also plans for an Ash vs. Evil Dead cabin in Petco Park and an autograph session and and a late screening.
