We didn’t get a S4 announcement, but you know what the absolute best thing about today’s C2E2 Hannibal panel truly was?
For almost the first time since the show ended, Fannibals showed how profitable Hannibal can still be.
C2E2 sold out of their remaining VIP ticket packages with guaranteed panel seating within 48 hours of the reunion announcement. Paid PopVerse subscriptions to stream the panel spiked with previously untapped demos (if socials are anything to go by). The largest event hall at C2E2 was overcapacity 45 minutes before the panel; while that’s normal for cons like SDCC and NYCC, in my experience that’s less common at C2E2.
Not to mention Mads and Hugh making bank with autograph and photo-op sales; a huge component of drawing in good talent to table at cons as well, making sure they make enough over the weekend to justify their presence beyond panel appearances. From a talent booking/event management perspective, this is the absolute dream scenario.
So, here’s the super fun part: ReedPop, the company that owns C2E2, also owns/operates New York Comic Con (NYCC), one of the highest-profile US entertainment conventions after San Diego Comic-Con. Now that ReedPop is aware of the viability of Hannibal programming, it would be extremely surprising if RP didn’t attempt a run at a larger, proper reunion panel at NYCC.
Honestly, great job, team. 2024 could very well be the year we get real buzz going again!
Quietly hands you my shitty screen recording of Hannibal c2e2
(Sorry, the crops weird and theres a volume button a few seconds in and captions don't come on until like 10 minutes... otherwise the entire panel for free :3)
This was a pain in the ass to do...drawing Clay is so AGGHGG-
Self hate is a big Clay reference, lfmao...help me.My head hurts and I have thrown up three times while doing this, but I couldn't sleep without finishing the coloring LFMAO
Edit: I forgot to add that the idea was given by my little brother, I asked him for a joke related to Moral Orel and well, it probably doesn't make sense in English, I swear that in Spanish it made me laugh
I wanted to get a concept that’s been rattling around in my brain for a while down. A headshot of Jonathan sims from TMA in his eldritch monster form!! I’ve always pictured it to be biblically accurate angel-like, bc if it’s one thing that they have a lot of it’s eyes !
a worm is a creature of no apparent use to us. caring and providing for it would be of no transactional value to its keeper. the worm could not enrich one's life intellectually, emotionally or physically and yet, should one choose to, one could still care for it out of a place of love. tell me will, would you still love me if i was a worm?
