LA Comic Con 2025: Talking Time Travel with Benjamin Raab and Deric Hughes
I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of time travel. The idea that you could go back in time to see historical events or talk to people who are long dead or travel forward to see what the future has in store for us is not unique to me. While it was popularized by H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine, the idea is behind the short story “Rip Van Winkle”, is seen in religion, and – of course – has been studied in science/physics since at least Einstein.

LA Comic Con 2025: Sean Abley and the Appeal of Queer Horror
If you did a Venn diagram of the queer community and horror fans, there would be a major overlap—that’s not a new revelation. From James Whale to Ed Wood, horror films have had ‘queer coding’ to represent themes that resonate. Read the interview at The Geekiary.
LA Comic Con 2025: Avi Roque and Trans Masculine Representation in Entertainment

WonderCon 2025 Interview: Ashley Maria of ‘Super Human Anxiety’
A young girl stands on an elevator, holding a plastic cup. The doors open, and there are a lot of her fellow students. Staring. When she asks if they are going up, they scoff and complain that they are now going to be late. The girl suddenly breaks the cup in her hand.
So opens the short film Super Human Anxiety. Screening as part of the Los Angeles International Children’s Film Festival at this year’s WonderCon, the nine-minute movie is a charming venture into anxiety and how to manage it. Read my interview at The Geekiary.
WonderCon 2025 Interview: Artist Randal “R.K.” Milholland
Something*Positive is a ‘day in the life’ webcomic that follows the main character of Davin MacIntire and his group of friends. Started in 2001, it is loosely based on the life and friends of creator Randal “R.K.” Milholland, and is darkly funny, skewering everyone and everything it can. It is sweet and sad and preposterous and honest: sometimes all at once. Read the interview at The Geekiary.
