3. WonderCon opens, and thus the convention season entire has undeniably begun. This is that show's second year in Anaheim, which will lead to speculation about the future of that show in that Los Angeles-adjacent city, as opposed to its original home in the Bay Area.

Quote Of The Week
"I want to apologize for the inflammatory comments I made on Twitter a few nights ago.

I'm deeply sorry for my unfortunate choice of words and any offense taken to them." -- writer Rick Remender
