Eric July announced he will have a Rippaverse panel at Megacon, Orlando, on February 3, 2024. This marks the first major panel at a convention focused on Rippaverse as a comic book property and more, as Eric July and his team continue to build a parallel economy to the mainstream comic book industry and thrive. The panel will consist of Eric July, Mike Baron, and the Soska Sisters.
According to a Facebook post made by Jen Soska, the panel will take place from 11:30 AM to 12:15 PM on Saturday, February 3, in Comic Events room W311G, where the Rippaverse writing team will gather together to talk about their current projects and the future of the Rippaverse properties.

Megacon is generally a friendly convention to alternative artists, hosting several prominent guests in the past, such as Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan. The atmosphere is said to be relaxed and commerce-forward, a stark contrast to other conventions across the nation pushing the woke agenda in recent years instead of doing what the fans want.
Jen Soska spoke of her excitement for the convention as Mike Baron reposted the announcement with a wholesome comment, stating, “So stoked to hug you, Mike.” Mike Baron cordially replied, “Me too.”
This announcement comes hot off the heels of Alphacore #1 reaching tremendous success for the Rippaverse. The Chuck Dixon and Joe Bennett book has raised over $1.268 million as of this writing from nearly 13,000 backers, marking a third Rippaverse graphic novel sold at levels crushing mainstream comics by Marvel and DC Comics.
Eric July and his team continue to impress fans with their professionalism and consistent delivery heading into 2024. With the Yaira launch just around the corner, a Megacon panel featuring Mike Baron and the Soska Sisters will please comic readers interested in learning more about alternative, independent comics.
