Drag queen Alaska is coming to San Diego for her brand new The Red 4 Filth Tour! A bizarre cosmic collision propelled Alaska to Earth in March 1966… and on to the fifth season of Logo TV’s RuPaul’s Drag Race in January 2013. Still radioactive, no one knows who or what she is yet, but no one cares, as long as she never returns to her native planet. Her age and species remain unknown to the public, but a few of her enemies claim to hold copies of her spawning record and universal passport. See her live at House of Blues on Friday, December 2 at 8 p.m.

For the 2022 Eisner Awards the legendary Marvel Comics Editor, Mark Gruenwald, will be inducted into the incredible ranks of their comics Hall of Fame. Mark Gruenwald was hired by Marvel Comics in 1978 and stayed there until his death. During his tenure, he worked on a variety of books before becoming their executive editor and keeper of continuity for much of the 1980s. Gruenwald had a knack for remembering every bit of minutia about Marvel Comics. The publisher even opened up a challenge for readers to stump him but had to discontinue it when it became clear nobody could beat him. Gruenwald is most recognized for his work on a new team of heroes known as the Squadron Supreme. The Squadron’s characters had been around, but Gruenwald decided to focus on a new set of the heroes in an alternate reality. The Squadron Supreme received a 12-issue miniseries and is considered a precursor to highly popular deconstructionist superhero parables like Watchmen, Kingdom Come, and The Boys. Sadly, Gruenwald died of heart failure in 1996. He had long told his wife he wanted his ashes to be a part of his work. When Squadron Supreme was collected into a trade paperback, his ashes were mixed into the ink. Join Mark's incredible wife, Catherine Schuller, for an after party honoring the great Mark Gruenwald in support of The Mark Gruenwald Foundation with a big reveal of yet another amazing piece of Mark's legacy while raising a toast to the legend!
