Miguel A. Velez (Host, Co-Founder)

Born and raised in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY, Miguel credits his family's love of cinema, particularly in the action & western genre. As fate would have it, one eventful childhood defining moment occurred when Miguel's Grandmother brought him to watch Richard Donner's Superman The Movie. From that point on his personal rooted passion for the superhero genre had been set for life. Having spent his teenage years in PA, participating in Scholastic Scrimmage, working at a local comic book shop, Miguel returned to Brooklyn. Miguel became a dedicated and practitioner of various martial arts styles such as Jeet Kune Do, Filipino weapons and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu. An earnest natural speaker with the gift of gab, Miguel brings to the table honesty and critical perspective to contemporary nerd culture.
