Something that people may not know about me is that I like Star Wars just a little. I’m kidding, of course — anyone who talks to me for more than 5 minutes is probably going to hear about how much I love Star Wars, how it’s my favorite franchise, why I
I went to my first geek convention of the year on Saturday, and going to a con always makes me feel hyped and ready to attend more cons! Going to a con can be a fun but also sometimes overwhelming experience, depending on the number of attendees, guests, vendors, etc.
By now you’ve probably seen the meme of Mickey Mouse wearing Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet from “Infinity War,” with the Infinity Stones symbolizing the different franchises/studios Disney has acquired thus far — Star Wars, Marvel, etc. Last week, the Walt Disney Company officially added another “Infinity Stone” to the gauntlet; the
I’m sure many geeks would agree that this is a pretty good time to be a superhero fan. Superhero films seem to be breaking box office records left and right, and we’re seeing a diverse array of superhero stories portrayed on both the big screen and on TV. If all

This week for my scheduled blog post, I was planning to post the final review in my Better Late than Never blog series. However, with the passing of comic book legend Stan Lee yesterday, at the age of 95, I felt it was more appropriate to spend some time reflecting
As a kid, Kim Steadman remembers watching reruns of Star Trek and being utterly fascinated by the vast universe beyond our own planet. What secrets were hidden in the stars beyond what she could see by looking up into the night sky? What “strange new worlds” were out there, waiting
There’s a luminous quality to Robert Hendrickson’s artwork that makes the characters leap off the page. His pieces feature a delicate interplay between light and shadow, with such a precise attention to detail that you feel as though you could step right through the page and into the scene he’s
Beauty and the Beast. The Lion King. Aladdin. Mulan. These iconic animated films are part of the story of the famous “Disney Renaissance,” which propelled the studio back to commercial success and critical acclaim in the ’80s and ’90s. Tom Bancroft played a role in that story too — the
