Welcome Back Since the Southern California Inland Empire’s first Comic Con Revolution (CCR) in 2017, my wife and I have attended nearly each one, save for 2022, when we attended the COVID-delayed “Star Wars Celebration 2022,” which unfortunately, landed on the same weekend. While my wife and I have attended many big ticket conventions, including…

Remembering iconic sci-fi designer Colin Cantwell (1932-2022)…
Colin Cantwell, Rocket Man. This morning, I woke up to read that Colin Cantwell–a name I’ve known since my teens, and a man I had the pleasure of meeting three years ago–passed away at age 90, after a struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. No, his name may not be a household name in special effects, like…
Comic Con Revolution 2021 in Ontario, California brings holiday cheer to SoCal fandom…
Comic Con Revolution Returns! While the COVID pandemic essentially cancelled last year for everyone (including myself), the sci-fi/comic book convention circuit has been slowly returning to something resembling normal (well, as ‘normal’ as we fans get, anyway). Just this year, I’ve already attended a couple of favorite conventions; the Las Vegas’ “55 Year Mission‘ convention…

The Ontario CCR just wrapped up today (as of this writing, Sunday May 19th), and it has grown exponentially since its humble beginnings. In 2017, my wife and I…
Comic Con Revolution, Ontario, California 2018; the little convention that grew…
In its second year now, Comic Con Revolution at Ontario, California (not the Canadian province, just to be clear) has seen its attendance numbers grow in leaps and bounds over last year. In 2017, my wife and I tried this local convention (only 20-odd minutes away by freeway) in its inaugural year. It was charming….
The little comic con that could; Comic Con Revolution, Ontario California…
Yesterday my wife and I attended a little comic book convention close to home (only about 20 minutes away by freeway) called “Comic Con Revolution.” Usually my wife and I pack up a few days worth of food/clothes/autographables, book the hotels months in advance, and trek on out to L.A, San Diego or even Las…
