Throughout 2020 and 2021, Fanbase Press' weekly Creator Forums provided comics industry professionals with an opportunity to discuss ways to cope with the changing comics landscape in light of the Coronavirus. As a new year begins and the impact of COVID-19 continues, it is not lost on us that comic book conventions - and the opportunity to connect with industry colleagues personally and professionally - will not take place in the same manner for the foreseeable future. To provide further opportunities to connect with industry creators, publishers, media, retailers, and educators during our collective quarantine, Fanbase Press will be hosting its next Comics & Coffee virtual meetup on Saturday, July 30, 2022, at 10 a.m./PT (1 p.m./EST). Fanbase Press' Comics & Coffee is a FREE hour-long Zoom session taking place every Saturday, welcoming new and experienced comics pros to a virtual meetup that aims to fill the convention-less void with networking opportunities, sharing creative successes and failures, and troubleshooting ways to navigate the industry in the weeks and months to come.
San Diego Comic-Con's Thursday programming started off incredibly strong on Thursday, July 21, 2022, with the "Disability Representation On and Off Screen" panel presented by Inevitable Foundation and The Disability is Diversity Campaign. The panel aimed to explore disability representation both on-screen and behind the camera and served to raise the profile of disability as an essential pillar of diversity, as well as celebrate the diversity that exists within the disabled community. Moderated by The Hollywood Reporter's Abbey White, the panelists included Lauren Ridloff (Eternals, The Walking Dead), Jillian Mercado (The L Word: Generation Q), and Josh Feldman (Echo), Greg Machlin (writer, producer, 2022 Inevitable Fellow), and Aoife Baker (writer, costume designer, 2022 Inevitable Fellow).

In early 1983, I sat playing under my family’s dining room table with my Star Wars toys, including a new action figure named Nien Nunb. Nien had arrived in the mail and was described as “Copilot of the Millennium Falcon in the upcoming film, Return of the Jedi.” On the television set, movie reviewers Siskel and Ebert had a special episode of their show spotlighting all three Star Wars films and their legacy. In the months and years that followed, I saw Return of the Jedi many times: from its original run in theaters (including a showing on opening day), to about a hundred viewings on a bootleg video tape that my brother acquired the next year. I’ve watched it through multiple re-releases, special editions, DVDs, and now streaming. In addition, I’ve read the novelization, the comics, had the bubblegum cards, action figures, and listened to the soundtrack over and over.
