I’m not extremely well-versed with the Power Rangers universe—I remember the films from when I was a child, which I still quote extensively, but I didn’t get to see the shows growing up. I wasn’t sure whether a Power Rangers meet-up panel would make for meaningful content, but not only did this panel end up…
ComicCon@Home Day Four: Power Rangers & Colorism in Comics
We’re over and done with Day Four of ComicCon@Home. Is anyone else also loving the convenience and accessibility of the pre-recorded panels? For Saturday we checked out Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious, HBO’s Lovecraft Country, and Personal Stories in Graphic Novels. Louis, Kate, and Cori also enjoyed the panels listed below, which explored the state…
ComicCon@Home Teases The Monstrous Lovecraft Country
Supernatural horror and real world monsters collide in HBO’s Lovecraft Country. Adapted from Matt Ruff’s novel (that’s based on H.P. Lovecraft’s iconic yet racist works), the show feels more timely than ever. The cast spoke on the Lovecraft Country ComicCon@Home panel about their characters and the ugly truth of American society, both then and now.

And the Eisner Award Goes To…These 2020 Winners
It was a one-hour, pre-recorded party on Friday night, with voice actor Phil LaMarr (Justice League, Static Shock) doing his best and no speeches from Eisner winners. There were a few speeches from or about this year’s hall of fame inductees (Nell Brinkley, E. Simms Campbell were the judges’ picks, and the voters inducted Alison…
Inspired Personal Stories in Graphic Novels at ComicCon@Home
Content warning: sexual abuse, eating disorders, gun violence, suicide. Creating a memoir isn’t an easy task—the writer is expected to bare their soul about a troubled or anxious time in their lives. But these personal stories can transform the reader and give them the kinship or answers they’ve been looking for—especially if they’re created by…
ComicCon@Home Previews Marvel’s Horror-Tinged Helstrom
Satan’s spawn are hitting the screen in Hulu and Marvel’s horror-tinged Helstrom. The show is going to be the last Marvel live-action series to launch outside of Disney+, after Ghost Rider was sadly scrapped. The cast and creator went on the Helstrom ComicCon@Home panel to talk about character arcs and what Helstrom was about — though unsurprisingly, everyone…
ComicCon@Home Day Three: Indigenous History, Galaxy Grrls, and the Deep Blue Sea 3

So About That Eisner Award
A moment after closing Graeme McMillan’s article in The Hollywood Reporter detailing the shadow cast by irregularities in this year’s Eisner Awards voting process, I received a notification that a new email had arrived. “Hi Wendy and gang,” it began, and proceeded to inform me of plans for tonight’s virtual Eisner Awards ceremony, culminating in…
ComicCon@Home: Lights, Camera, LGBTQI-Identity! Never Alone
Looks like I’ve found myself drawn to the LGBTQIA+ panels at ComicCon@Home. I covered one on Thursday, and here I am reporting on another on Friday.
LGBTQ Characters on Television – What’s Next? ComicCon@Home Panel
Since I’ve come to Canada, I’ve had time to get more in tune with my queer self, and it’s coincided with finding more positive LGBTQ+ representation in pop culture. There are more LGBTQ characters on our screens now—in film, and in television—but we still have a long way to go. At SDCC’s ComicCon@Home, actors Jamie…
ComicCon@Home Teaching With Comics Panels Roundup
Hello! You may have noticed that there was not a Comics Academe this month, and that was because we elected to save this spot to review the Comics Studies and comics education panels at SDCC’s Comic Con @ Home. Well…some of them.
