Terry Brooks & MTV to be at the San Diego Comic-Con

Share

Terry Brooks and MTV are going to be talking, together and separately, about the world of Shannara. They will also be releasing more news and details about the upcomingThe Shannara Chronicles, the miniseries retelling of The Elfstones of Shannara, and if all goes well, future books. There are three different panels and a book-signing, so Shannara fans should get their fill–if, that is, Shannara fans can ever be said to get their fill.

The MTV panel on July 10 will feature the first look at the trailer for The Shannara Chronicles while the book-signing on July 11 is going to be a Comic Con exclusive version of The Elfstones of Shannara.

Anyone who’s going, send us your pics, ok? Send them to [email protected], and I’ll put them up in a nice Shannara album for all to enjoy. If you don’t go, send pictures of whatever Shannara-related activity you came up with instead, and I’ll give them their own album. We’ll see who came up with the most creative way to spend a book-ish weekend.
