Reading: Nerd Links for November 4-11, 2016

How Female Fans Made ‘Star Wars’ Their Own:  A great article about how female fans formed their own fan groups.  Often sci-fi fandom is wrongly considered a male dominated domain.  It truly isn’t even though there a few bad male apples that try to assert their dominance.
The Strong Women of Star Wars:   A good introduction for non-Star Wars fanatics to the women of Star Wars.

Moebius and Beyond: An Introduction to European Comics:  Paste has been increasing their comic coverage over the last year.  This is a good thing.

Valiant’s Cat Cosplay Proves Humans Aren’t the Best Cosplayers: Because it’s cats in cosplay.

I'm a husband to a woman who is nerdier than I am, and a father to a near perfect child. I am one of the main authors for this website, plus I handle most of the technical aspects (web design, editing podcasts, and videos, etc.) During the day, I'm a Computer Science and African American Studies Teacher. Most of my free time I'm listening to music or podcasts and watching soccer. I love Star Wars and Star Trek equally. I'm a horrible gamer yet I game. You can reach me at nolanerdcouple@gmail.com
