About

It would seem that every fandom is getting its own universe; First Marvel, then DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter and now the Whoniverse. Is this phenomenon good for the future of fantasy creativity? Which universes are flourishing, and which are exhausted? Join Julia Golding and Jacob Rennaker to consider this phenomenon and its effects, is it simply a cynical marketing pitch or do the roots of this idea reach back much further? If you’re interested in learning more on this topic, Jacob recommends ‘All of the Marvels’ by Douglas Wolk.
