Claudia Christian and Bruce Boxleitner were both at the first MegaCon Live London held at the ExCel Centre this weekend. And yesterday that saw them taking time on stage to talk about their shared history on Babylon 5, including discussion around how Babylon 5 led the way to the now more common one story across many seasons of a show, such as Breaking Bad or The Wire.

But Claudia Christian was also talking about coming to comic conventions for a different reason these days, to talk about actual comic books. I know, imagine, She had an exclusive MegaCon Live London variant cover for the first issue of her comic book series Dark Legacies on sale at the show, which happened to feature a character who also looked very much like Bruce Boxleitner, on the cover. And he won't be the only one.

Dark Legacies, as well as featuring characters visually based on both Claudia and Bruce, has more Babylon 5 love to spread around. The second issue, out later this year, will feature two more charcacters, one who looks like Walter Koenig who played Alfred Bester in Babylon 5, and another who resembles Patricia Tallman who played Lyta Alexander in Bablyon 5. Presumably with more signing opportunities tied in. Oh yes and that second issue? Drawn by the legendary Glenn Fabry.

While Claudia Christian also revealed that one of the reasons she was in London for MegaCon Live, was that she was taking meetings to get a television adaptation of Dark Legacies made.
