This is among a handful of activism-inspired wall art in the Warehouse District, south of the office towers in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Spotted this on my visit to the city last month.

It was a short visit to Calgary Expo for me this year, with time for only one panel discussion. I picked one with Colm Meaney, known for his roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Hell on Wheels and a bevy of feature films. Here, he is speaking about the 2013 flood in Calgary, which affected Hell on Wheels’s production on the outskirts of the city. He said the flood washed away their set and displaced the cast and crew multiple times before they got to high-enough ground.

Amid the dizzying array of dazzling costumes I came across at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo on Sunday, this depiction from Star Wars is one of the standouts, in my humble opinion.

Double-decker transit buses are something I expect plying the streets of London, not decaying in a parking lot in a run-down corner of downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Made this sad, sad find a few weeks ago.

In anticipation of my one and only day attending the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo tomorrow, here are two iconic vehicles from the comic and science-fiction world — Batman’s Batmobile, above, and the DeLorean from Back to the Future, below. Spotted both during my first Calgary Expo back in 2012.
