This weekend, June 2nd – 5th, several staff and forum members will be attending Botcon 2011 in Pasadena, California. Botcon is the official Transformers fan convention featuring celebrity guests, exhibition hall/dealer’s room, artist alley, both industry and fan panels and much more. We will be covering the convention, posting news and videos and updating this post with links to all of the coverage in one handy spot for you, the fans, to keep bookmarked!

Zac, Genius, Sean, and Logan strive to make sense of their emotions in the face of the entire DC universe being wiped clean this fall. We discuss rights, digital distribution, erasing characters, the silver age roll-back, and the modern age foul ups.
We also accept that it might not be Jim Lee’s fault, even if Superman has a collar and fishnet pants now.
