Why It Doesn't Matter How Carrie Fisher Died
Like every Star Wars fan I know, I was devastated when I learned that Carrie Fisher, the woman behind one of the most iconic science fiction heroines ever, died Dec. 27 at the age of 60. I was a fan of her acting, including her non-Star Wars roles (When Harry Met Sally still ranks among my favorites), and of her openly hilarious and often heartwarming manner in which she wrote. I remember thinking that what I'd read was simply not real, that she would somehow bounce back from the coma she was in and while it would undoubtedly take time for her to heal, she would be back.

Spotlight on: Silk - The Life and Times of Cindy Moon
To my utter dismay, it was announced last month that Marvel has canceled the Silk ongoing series. While the series is admittedly, not as popular as the likes of Spider-Gwen, Deadpool, or even Squirrel Girl, it contains a truly compelling story, and a highly relatable lead, in the form of Cindy Moon, aka, Silk!

Everyone knows that the original Avengers consists of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk, but as we are introduced to more superheroes and other assets to the Avengers team, we are introduced to more opportunities for movies.

Comic conventions, horror, and collector cons. You name it, and everyone I went to, I saw lots of people walking around wearing amazing costumes. One day at New York Comic Con, I saw a guy dressed as Green Arrow and his lady was dressed as Black Canary. They looked like they practically stepped right out of the comics! I said to myself… “I wanna do that!!” so I put some things together (mind you I don't sew) and made my first cosplay, my little version of Nick Fury for East Coast Comic Con in 2015. It got a lot of attention so, I was like, let’s see what else I can do, and the rest is history.

Why Are We Still Watching Transformers?
I was eleven when the first Transformers movie came out. It took me three years to see it, and for a fourteen-year-old kid just discovering movies, it wasn't bad. It looked cool, had pretty people in it, and had just enough of a story to be engaging. It was no The Rock, but still. I skipped the second one despite a glowing review from my cousin, saw the third for a laugh, and my friend dragged me to the fourth because it was Friday and we weren't cool or old enough to drink.
