(NEW YORK)—Science Channel, Animal Planet and Destination America today announced they will descend upon the east coast’s ultimate comics and pop culture convention with five exclusive all-star panels at this year’s New York Comic Con (NYCC), taking place on Friday, October 11 and Saturday, October 12
Science Channel leads the network pack with three mind-blowing presentations during the East Coast’s four-day bonanza. Headlined by a star-studded lineup, Science Channel will present: A Punkin Chunkin Extravaganza hosted by Discovery Channel’s MYTHBUSTERS;  Academy-Award nominee James Woods will premiere exclusive footage from his new series FUTURESCAPE; and ODDITIES, local favorites and masters of the macabre, will shock audiences with a show-and-tell session that NYCC won’t soon forget.
Animal Planet returns to NYCC with fan-favorite FINDING BIGFOOT, this time turning the cameras on the convention-goers themselves in a special episode filmed in front of the live audience, while NYCC newcomer Destination America presents their monstrous sensation MOUNTAIN MONSTERS to the Comic Con audience for the very first time.
“This is going to be our biggest and best show yet,” said Lance Fensterman, global vice president  of ReedPOP. “We’ve got out of this world talent and Science Channel, Animal Planet, and Destination America are adding to the mix to help make this the one not-to-miss event of the year.”
On Saturday October 12, Science Channel gives a double-dose of entertainment with two brand new panels.  Discovery Channel’s MYTHBUSTERS present A PUNKIN CHUNKIN EXTRAVAGANA.  For 25 years, the World Championship Punkin Chunkin backyard engineers have been launching pumpkins high into the skies above Bridgeville, Del. For the fifth consecutive year in Science Channel returns to the pumpkin paradise November 1- 3 to catch every far-flinging, high-flying moment for the network’s annual Thanksgiving Day special PUNKIN CHUNKIN. From air cannons and catapults to torsion machines and the ever-mighty trebuchet, join hosts Grant Imahara, Tory Bellecci and Kari Byron as they demonstrate these unbelievable, home-engineered machines! The team will share behind-the-scenes footage from past Chunks and reveal what’s on the horizon for those who seek the 2013 Punkin Chunkin title.

Clips will take fans on a journey to reveal world-changing breakthroughs and their implications for the future, including demonstrations of synthetic biology, predictive analytics, habitable planets, and nano technology.

But before they hit the woods, they’ll take to the NYCC stage on Saturday, October 12. Moderated by executive producer and FINDING BIGFOOT: UNTOLD STORIES host Keith Hoffman, the cast will discuss investigations in greater detail, answer fan-submitted questions and preview footage from the upcoming season.

AIMS members John “Trapper” Tice, Jake “Buck” Lowe, and Bill “Wild Bill” Neff unleash authentic artifacts from their hunts and never-before-seen footage exclusive to Comic Con fans. Door prizes and plenty of surprises await to transport fans into the thick of this timeless battle between monster and man.
