X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<h4>Writing the Characters You Already Know</
 h4>\n<p><br />You play Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS5.&nbsp\;<strong>Eva
 n Narcisse</strong>&nbsp\;helped build the story. You watched Black Panthe
 r. He co-wrote Rise of the Black Panther for Marvel with <strong>Ta-Nehisi
  Coates.</strong>&nbsp\;He's&nbsp\;writing Batman/Static: Beyond right now
 .&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;<br /><strong>Stephanie Williams</strong>&nbsp\;write
 s Nubia\, the Black Wonder Woman\, for DC. She built the&nbsp\;book&nbsp\;
 so Nubia leads the Amazons on her own\, not as Diana's sister.&nbsp\;She's
 &nbsp\;also writing the new Street Sharks comic and her own creator-owned 
 horror book\, Roots of Madness.&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;<br />Two writers who m
 ove between comics and video games. Ask them how the writing changes when&
 nbsp\;you're&nbsp\;writing for a controller instead of a page.&nbsp\;&nbsp
 \;<br />&nbsp\;<br />If you fill notebooks with characters nobody else has
  seen\, this is for you. If&nbsp\;you've&nbsp\;been watching the movies an
 d you want to find the comics they came from\, this is for you. If you alr
 eady post your own work online and you want to talk to people who do this 
 for a living\, this is for you.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;</p>\n<p></p>\n<
 h4>More about this Series</h4>\n<p><strong>COMICTROPOLIS</strong> is a&nbs
 p\;series of conversations at DC Public Library locations featuring&nbsp\;
 David&nbsp\;Betancourt (The Athletic/New York Times)\, a former culture re
 porter at&nbsp\;The Washington Post&nbsp\;and writer for&nbsp\;Marvel Ente
 rtainment&nbsp\;and various guest stars from the comic book industry.&nbsp
 \;</p>\n<p><br />This series will be aimed at Washington&rsquo\;s vibrant 
 comic book reading community and led by a native Washingtonian (Betancourt
 ) who still lives in DC and grew up frequenting Big Planet Comics (DC&rsqu
 o\;s DMV chain of comic bookstores) in Georgetown and on U Street NW. Beta
 ncourt remains an avid fan and believer in the power of comic books and th
 eir impact on society.&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;<br />The series will be an insi
 der&nbsp\;look into&nbsp\;the world of writing comics from both Betancourt
  and guests and what it is like for all the creatives featured to work wit
 h some of the most popular brands in pop culture. They will also discuss w
 hat it means to go from the worlds of Marvel and DC&nbsp\;Comics&nbsp\;to 
 creating their own creator-owned comic book brands.&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;</p
