Boston Fan Expo 2022 Wrap-Up: It’s Good to Be Back
One of the things I missed the most during the COVID shutdown and aftermath was attending conventions. Normally, I’m an avid con-goer.

The panel was the last thing I saw on Sunday before I left, and what a way to end a con! For those wondering, yes, McGregor is absolutely charming in person, and the entire experience was a complete delight. He told stories about a wide range of his projects, not just
