time for Motor City Comic Con. Established in 1989, Motor City has grown into a massive pop culture event for the whole family.

Hard Copy: The Most Human by Adam Nimoy
This summer, Adam Nimoy—yes, THAT
Nimoy—shares moving, behind the scenes details in his memoir, THE MOST HUMAN: Reconciling with My Father,Leonard Nimoy (June 4, 2024; Chicago Review Press).
While the tabloids and fan publications portrayed the Nimoys as a “close family,” to his son, Adam, Leonard Nimoy was a total stranger. The actor was as inscrutable as the iconic half-Vulcan science officer he portrayed on Star Trek, even to those close to him. Now, his son’s poignant memoir explores their complicated relationship and how it informed his views on marriage, parenting, and later, sobriety. Despite their differences, both men ventured down parallel paths: marriages leading to divorce, battling addiction, and finding recovery. Most notably, both men struggled to take the ninth step in their AA journey: to make amends with each other.
