Bleeding Cool had previously reported on Steven T Seagle being hit by the LA wildfires last year, which destroyed his home and possessions along with many others. In response, he is hosting a San Diego Comic-Con panel on the Saturday with David M Booher called "Burn It All With Steven T Seagle" about losing everything in the CA fires and helping others protect their stuff better. He tells Bleeding Cool;
"Hey! Steven T. Seagle (BEN 10, BIG HERO 6, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATER) here. Ever since Altadena, CA's Eaton Fire burned down my house, all of my comics, and everything else I had earlier this year, kind people have asked what they can do to help. I said I'd let them know, and I'm putting one call out now. Come to my panel – BURN IT ALL – at Comic-Con International in San Diego. I, and fellow total-loss survivor writer David M Booher (CANTO), will be covering what it was like to have to make fast choices while evacuating; what we lost (spoiler: 50 thousand comics and the world's biggest BEN 10 merch collection in my case), what we saved (spoiler 2: David's life), what we immediately replaced from our collections, and – the main reason we want people to come – WHAT YOU CAN DO TO BETTER POSITION/PROTECT YOUR COLLECTIONS IN THE FACE OF NATURAL DISASTERS. We've learned some things in the past 6 months, and we'd like to pass that knowledge on to others. So, join us, SATURDAY JULY 26th at 3:30 pm in ROOM 10. Signing right after in the SAILS PAVILION. If you're feeling extra -generous about support, I also have a spotlight panel about my work with some shop talk about creating and writing on THURSDAY JULY 24th at 10am in ROOM 32AB – signing in the SAILS PAVILION after. Thanks so much."
