Christopher On: Denver Comic-Con and Phoenix Comic-Fest Recap
Kvetha Fricaya. Greetings Friends!
As those of you who follow me on social media know, I recently attended the Phoenix Comic-Fest and Denver Comic-Con. Both events were awesome, if staggeringly hot for a Montana boy like me.

At each convention, I met parents who have named children after the characters (one Roran and several Saphiras), fans...

He magically altered his appearance to better match his ideal of beauty, one of animal inspiration; sleek midnight blue fur—similar to a panther’s—covered his body, his eyes were yellow like an eagle’s, his...

Man at Arms: The Brisingr Reproduction by Baltimore Knife and Sword
Check out the incredible replica of Brisingr made by the folks at Baltimore Knife and Sword and featured on their show, Man at Arms! These superb craftsmen duplicated the forging process, as described in the third book of the Inheritance Cycle, using a real meteorite—”cool” is a vast understatement!
