I’m happy to announce that The Geek Embassy will be debuting our traveling panel at Jet City Comic Show this Sunday at 3pm! Catch us live in Room 407! Tickets are still available so if you are in the Seattle/Tacoma area, come and join us at what should be a fun con. We will be visiting with photographer Andrew Kolstad at his table showcasing a local cosplay group.
Don’t miss the chance to see “Baskets & Capes: What Fairy Tales Can Teach Us about Superheroes.” Regina, Dante, and I will be on the panel presenting and handing out some sweet swag. Come ask a question or shout out a suggestion and get one of these awesome stickers!
BASKETS AND CAPES: WHAT FAIRY TALES CAN TEACH US ABOUT SUPERHEROES
Everywhere you look, in every form of pop culture, at the movies, on broadcast TV, and on Netflix, everything’s coming up superheroes. Storytelling has always been about explaining the world; it is how humankind reaches out and understands that the struggles we face are often shared experiences. How does our current fascination with superheroes relate to storytelling approaches of the past? Can fairy tales help us understand the current fascination with superheroes? Come listen to an enlightening discussion about how everything old is new again and superpowered to boot.
