About us
Welcome! We are thrilled to create a new home for vegan and vegan-friendly fans of science fiction, superhero stories and fantasy.
Our number one planned activity is going to sci-fi, superhero and fantasy movies. To be followed by a vegan dinner. (You do not have to be vegan to join our group, but all food ordering at our meetup events must be vegan. That is one of our founding principles.)
We are also a home for comics fans.
While movies and television are a main focus for our group, we are also fans of science fiction, superhero and fantasy writing in books and periodicals.
We will attend New York Comic Con every year. Other cons are also on our radar screen, including those in New Jersey.
While animation is not a named focus of our group, we will be attending some animated movies as well. Other types of events will include book and film discussions, and nightlife, dining and day trip events.
Of course, all events are optional. We invite you to attend the ones that look good to you. Joining the meetup group gets you on our mailing list, so you will be notified of new events.
This group is based in New York and New Jersey.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day
AMC Empire 25, 234W 42nd St, New York, NY, USThe modern Tom Holland Spider-Man franchise has built one of the most exalted legacies in cinematic history. Let’s not forget that the third Spider-Man movie, *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, didn’t just break records—it completely shattered them, grossing over $1.92 billion globally to secure its position as the 8th highest-grossing movie of all time. It was a cultural phenomenon that proved superhero narratives can achieve transcendent theatrical synergy when done right.
Now, the justified hysteria for this fourth installment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has reached absolute fever pitch. The narrative grounds Peter Parker in a gritty, isolated New York City where the world has entirely forgotten who he is, forcing him to fight full-time as a friendly neighborhood hero under immense psychological pressure.
Critics are already signaling that this is the creative renaissance the MCU has been building toward. *Fandango* reported on the sheer scale of the advance ticket hype, stating, "The fervor for 'Brand New Day' is matching, if not exceeding, the madness of 'No Way Home.' Audiences are clawing for tickets to bear witness to Peter Parker's darkest, most pivotal chapter yet."
Collider wrote: "The hysteria is completely justified. 'Brand New Day' strips away the multiversal safety nets to deliver a raw, emotionally heavy, and breathtakingly choreographed Spider-Man story that fans will be talking about for decades."
And Entertainment Weekly exclaimed regarding stars Tom Holland and Zendaya, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day: "Seeing Hollywood's definitive power couple anchor two of the summer's most gargantuan blockbusters right as they confirm their real-life marriage is a historic crossover event. Their off-screen bedrock translates into a rare, transcendent on-screen magic that elevates both projects into must-see cultural milestones."
