If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my foray into the world of comics, it’s that the creativity of creators and the community knows no bounds. This was before I had ever attended a large convention. I had the great opportunity of attending WonderCon in Anaheim at the end of March. While overwhelming, it was amazing to me the dedication to creativity that the culture fosters.
On the second day of the event, I approached a booth and was met with a tall man dressed and made up as The Hound from Game of Thrones. This man was David Baxter. Previously working as a writer at Image Comics, he is now the VP of Development at Legion M. A fan-owned entertainment company, behind films like the cult classic Mandy starring Nicolas Cage and the upcoming Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Legion M, like the culture behind comics, is trying to foster creativity in new ways for the film industry.
