The women we care about at Comic Con

The Hollywood Reporter has a very pretty, very blonde photospread and roundtable with “TV’s 6 Most Women Wanted at Comic-Con.” Now, we all love Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Morrison, Britt Robertson, Yvonne Strahovski and (resident non-white chick) Maggie Q, but there are so many other ladies that are worth our time in San Diego this week.

Even if you can’t attend the annual geek gathering, there are so many ways to follow the panels, parties and scoop. Here’s who we’ll be watching for.

The star of Lost Girl will be on hand for a Friday panel where she’ll hopefully spill some details on Bo’s Season 2 relationship with Dr. Lauren (Zoie Palmer).

The San Francisco-based editor of the sci-fi Gawker blog io9.com will discuss “Sci-fi That Will Change Your Life” on Thursday. She should know – she’s the expert.

The Guild creator and star is doing double duty this year, with a panel on “The Evolution of Web Series” and an appearance at the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog on Sunday.

The out TV producer will discuss her new Fox show Alcatraz, which she developed with her Lost cohort JJ Abrams. She told The Hollywood Reporter attendees will get to see the pilot in full.

Forever in our hearts as Tara from Buffy, we are always happy to see Amber pursuing her other love of the written word. She’ll be talking about her Calliope Reaper Jones novels on the Thursday panel “Books vs. Graphic Novels and Comics.”

The actress who voices lesbian HR director Pam on Archer will join her co-stars for a screening and Q&A. Did you know she also voiced characters on Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Frisky Dingo?

Also a voiceover star of Archer, Aisha will likely bring the laughs to the Q&A, as she is first and foremost a brilliant stand-up comic.

As a special guest at this year’s Comic Con, Jo gets her own “Spotlight” for her work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Runaways comics. The program says the entire hour will be “devoted to Jo’s history, artistic skills, and a review of her body of work.” Definitely not one to miss if you are a fan of either series!

A self-professed nerd, the bisexual model will be on a panel about the sexualizing of fangirls. I’m guessing she’s all for it.

The Shameless actress will answer questions about the upcoming second season of the Showtime show, which hopefully includes some tidbits on Fiona’s friendship with the over-eager Jasmine (Amy Smart).

She’ll be there to talk Covert Affairs, but we’ll always remember her for her roles in Lost & Delirious and Imagine Me & You. Piper’s pretty likable in any role, come to think of it.

The former ER star will be on hand for the Alcatraz screening and panel, as she is one of the series’ stars. Now will you be watching?

The Star Trek: Voyager alum will grace the stage to talk about the success of the web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Fans will also get to see the long-awaited finale, as well as Jeri Ryan in the flesh.

You might not recognize the Game of Thrones actress with her dark ‘do and actual clothing on her torso, but you’ll appreciate her conversations with castmates on the HBO hit. I’m so glad Daenerys didn’t die, and I’m crossing my fingers she survives next season.

We’ll have some Comic-Con coverage with these women and more on AfterEllen.com. In the meantime, check out the full schedule at Comic-Con.org and Prism Comics’ Gay Agenda Guide and geek out with us.
