Those are the souvenirs from a few days at MidAmeriCon II, the World Science Fiction Convention, held in Kansas City, MO August 17 through 21, 2016.

Though his work was behind the scenes, he seemed to fit the moniker “golden boy” in a lot of ways. Moore was also an openly gay man in an industry where, if being gay was … Read more

Legion of Super Heroes

With this week’s revelation that Chris Wood will be playing longtime Legion of Super-Heroes member Mon-El in the second season of The CW’s Supergirl, the question on everyone’s mind is whether he might bring his time-tossed teammates with him. The clues are certainly there: besides just Lar-Gand/Mon-El being the one who landed in National City at the end of Season One, there’s the fact that longtime Superman supporting cast member Maggie Sawyer is coming to the city as a member of the “Science Police.” In the pages of DC Comics, Sawyer worked in both the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit and … Read more
