The Dean Cain panel was the second one I attended on Saturday, March 16, 2013 at MegaCon. Dean Cain was welcomed with a standing ovation in the crowded hall. He shared many stories about his time on LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN TV show. Dean talked about the development of the Superman costume, his influences for the roles of both the Man of Steel and Clark Kent and the rigors of filming the flying scenes. He also discussed other roles he has had over his career, and offered advice to potential actors in the audience.

I also wrote a report of his panel for the Superman Homepage.

The GIVING BACK TO FANDOM panel was the second one I attended at MegaCon 2013, on Friday, March 15, 2013. It was moderated by Siike Donnelly and Gene Hoyle, co-hosts of the NERD NATION RADIO podcast. Also on the panel were Kate Carleton, Rachel Pandich, Paul Barnes, Grayven and Monica Ravenwolf, and Sarge, who hosts BATTLE DRAWN RADIO with Grayven. They discussed the Kickstarter funded graphic novel SOLESTAR, which was the topic of this episode of the NERD NATION RADIO podcast. Profits from the sale of SOLESTAR are going toward research to find a cure for brain aneurysms, of which Siike Donnelly is a survivor. Kate and Rachel also discuss the anthology WOMANTHOLOGY.

All of the panelists discuss using the medium of comic books to raise awareness, influence society and help save lives.
