Tribeca time is right around the corner. Me, in all my movie nerd splendor tentatively plan every year to see as many films as I can. To date I've only managed to see two. I however am making a concerted effort this year to consult the movie guide once it's up and find at least a 100 movies that sound cool and see at least one. In the meantime however, I found these panels which made me giddy and excited (it doesn't take much) April 19th, I just have to mark April 19th on the calender as the day I can buy tickets. I'm determined. If I keep repeating that I won't forget or slack and miss out. Did I mention I'm giddy and excited? I mean I'll have the chance to meet (maybe) and be in attendance with John Carpenter, Joe Quesada and Kevin Smith? I had a dream like that once.

Featuring a sneak peek at original illustrations from the highly anticipated Amazing Spider-Man: One More Day comic book storyline.
