SoonerCon returns to Norman, Oklahoma this weekend, and I’ll be appearing at the following SoonerCon panels this year.

• Reel Wars: The Greatest Decade of Movies
  Boomer B Saturday : 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM

• The ’80s brought us unforgettable classics like The Empire Strikes Back, E.T., and Back to the Future, but was it truly the best decade for cinema? Or did the magic of storytelling, direction, and music peak before or after — maybe in the gritty ’70s, the groundbreaking ’90s, or the bold 2000s and 2010s? This panel dives deep into the soul of cinema to explore what defines a great decade for movies. Was it the compelling storytelling of pre-’80s films? The character-driven dramas of the ’90s? Or the artistic ambition of modern masterpieces? Let’s settle the debate: When was the golden age of movies?
  
• Drawing the Future: Sci-Fi and Fantasy in Graphic NovelsBoomer A Saturday : 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM
• Mike Kennedy – Moderator;
