Comic-Con 2020: Learning to draw Venom to Felicia Day's breakdown of MJ in Spider-man, Marvel HQ has it all
The highlights of Marvel HQ panel on Day 2 of Comic-Con @ Home saw fans learn to draw Venom, Spider-Man's arch-nemesis, while also talking to actress Felicia Day who plays Mary Jane in the animated Spider-Man series.
"It's pretty amazing playing MJ. She's always been sort of my dream character, she has that red-head quality where she's sassy and I really like that," Day said on the panel. This was a character she fell in love with at quite a young age. "I loved the romance, and I loved how she was confident and beautiful. I was always like, "I want to be her". She continued: MJ brings out a lot of confidence in Peter (Parker) which he could definitely use."
"Spider-Man is always accessible to anybody as a superhero and as a person. There's some vulnerability than the other character and that grounds all the super stuff and the real issues, Day opined while the panel showed some footage from the animated series.
Marvel HQ has always been one of the panels that young Marvel fans and their families have looked forward to and this time around the virtual event makes it all the easier for fans to enjoy from the comfort of their home. In addition to learning the Venom Draw-It-yourself and Day's breakdown of Mary Jane, the panel also saw prominent comedian Roy Wood Jr, take the audience through a read of the comic 'Spider-Sense of Adventure' and also featured a Lego Battle to top off the interesting panel.
Fans on their part were quite pleased about how the panel turned out. "Watching Marvel HQ. Oh hello @roywoodjr! Nice to see you at #ComicConAtHome" a fan wrote while some fans felt Venom is an easy art to draw. "Hey, that was made to ridiculously easy," a fan commented.
