Welcome back for another Roundtable here at Speculative Chic! Last month we brought on the tissues and tears as we covered the saddest moments in speculative fiction…and as a counter to that post, I asked our contributors this month to give me the happiest moments!

Last year, Avengers: Infinity War brought almost 10 years of films to culmination. Now, we find out how it all ends. Because of the magnitude of this story (and how difficult it is to get tickets for opening weekend), the Sound Off post for Avengers: Endgame will be published NEXT week. I’m creating this post before I even see the movie,…

It’s so very close to the end of 2018! We are packing away the year, clearing the debris, and preparing for the coming of 2019! May it be an excellent year in all things speculative fiction! We are looking ahead at the year to come, and we cannot help but get excited about what kinds of media will be coming…
