Reader Submitted: "To The Bat - er, Goblin Cave!"

 

On Tuesday Nov. 4th a dance was held by Caledon Nights on the region Caledon Downs in the Independent State of Caledon group. The theme was Superheros and was held inside the Goblin Cave, a Community Center, that was temporally  converted into the Bat Cave. 

 

The Duchess of Downs Cynthia Farshore was the DJ with Andrea Jones owner of Caledon Nights hosting. Many came to hear tunes related to superheros of comic books, movies, TV shows, and cartoons. 

 

The Caledon Nights entertainment group conducts dances every Tuesday night at 6 pm to 8 PM SLT at various places in the Caledon regions. Notices are sent out ahead of time on Caledon group chat informing of theme and locations.

Sci-Fi Expo and the Stan Lee Memorial

The Sci-Fi Expo is in town. Located in the Solaris Station sim, this is an event for science-fiction and fantasy fans inworld. One can enjoy the exhibits, do some shopping, find out more about some roleplay groups looking to expand their numbers, and more. The event raises funds for the Relay for Life in Second Life.

While science fiction is usually pretty fun, not all is well at the Expo. Stan Lee, the artistic genius whom help redefine superheroes, passed away on Monday November 12. Unlike the characters of other hero comics at the time which were often as two-dimensional as the paper their stories were printed on, Stan Lee's characters had more personality and had problems their readers could relate to. Spider-Man for instance could whomp the bad guys, but dealt with acne and girl trouble. Eventually, other studios would follow his lead and make their superhuman characters a little more human.

At the Expo, a memorial to Stan Lee was set up. A fitting tribute to an artist whom entertained many in their childhoods, as well as their adulthoods.

The Marvel Universe

After a hiatus, FoxytheJamie (aka Kimiko Kanagowa) is back with the Newser. In his first article with his return, he looks at "The Marvel Universe." Taking place in the environment of the Marvel comics, the players take on the role of superheroes. So what did Jamie think of it?

Read Jamie's article in Places.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at the Relay for Life. Seems two superhero roleplaying groups did a little mix and match with two different comic universes. And the way Batmain and Robin were paired with one of Spiderman's villains, it looks like the normally perceptive Caped Crusader is about to get a nasty surprise.
