FanX, spring 2019: A superhero with autism, and women cutting through the fanboy stereotype

April 20, 2019 by Sean P. Means

FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention is back for its spring edition at the Salt Palace Convention Center, and I’ve been covering some of the things happening there. Here are two stories, from sltrib.com:

• A look at “Focus,” a new comic book created by an anthropologist to raise awareness of autism, by showcasing a superhero whose autism is part of his superpower.

• I talked to several women authors and creators about female fandom, and how the gap between women and men is gradually being bridged .
