This month we investigate Criminal Investigations in genre. The where. The when. The
who done it. Looking for clues at the scene of the crime. Leading the way will be the

Haywood used our "neighbor" theme uniquely. There is something called Super-Team Family: The Lost
Issues where comic book covers are made up of unlikely pairings. There are something like 2000 of them.
Examples:
  • DC / Marvel such as Wonder Woman / Black Widow
  • Star Trek / Star Wars such as Mr. Spock / Princess Leia (Oh my!!)
These covers illustrate a unique concept of "family" that was enjoyed by attendees. Next up were
topics ranging from film to TV:
  • Peter Jackson WW I documentary - They Shall Not Grow Old (2018)
  • 300th episode of Supernatural with return of fan favorite Jeffrey Dean Morgan as dad John
    Winchester

Fun continued at the Land & Sea Diner.
DAC - Caribbean Dreams
3/13/19 recap

Our March theme of Caribbean Dreams was well represented. Haywood showed a video of six comic
figures that were connected with the Caribbean:
  • Calypso
  • Doctor Voodoo
  • Shades
  • Power Man
  • Jet
  • Hairbag
Many were not familiar with these lesser known figures, so it was fun learning about new entries to search
for. Following these characters, Haywood showed a trailer for an upcoming Supergirl episode where Jon
Cryer will be portraying Lex Luthor. The Shazam trailer was also featured. Festivities continued at the
nearby Land & Sea Diner. Fun and informative as always.
