At a panel Saturday evening at WonderCon, the immense comic book convention held this past weekend at San Franciso’s Moscone Center, a cluster of comics bloggers asserted that the most popular features on their sites, by far, are lists. So, because blog readers demanded it, here’s a list of observations from this year’s

This is part of an ongoing weekly series called “Freeze Frame,” where we break down our very favorite sci-fi/fantasy/adventure moments – the scenes that we look forward to, that remind us why we so love this job. As you might guess, such discussions are riddled with spoilers. So consider yourself warned. (See previous Freeze Frame …
Baseball fan? PC owner? Look no further than the white hot MLB 2K10 deal this morning. Gamestop is selling the downloadable version for just three bucks. That’s down from the regular price of $30. I damn near spit out my coffee and tripped over my ottoman trying to get to my computer to download it this morning. It’s really an

Clash of the Titans opened big this weekend – though the box office numbers don’t reflect the mood of moviegoers as they left the theater.
When I interviewed director Louis Leterrier last week, he was convinced that audiences be pretty awestruck by his monsters – particularly the Kraken. And when I saw it, sure enough: I thought the …
I know you’ve all been waiting for this week’s Techland Show, so here it is. Lev’s back! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
So, Tycho and Gabe from Penny Arcade dropped by the offices earlier this week in between book tour duties and we decided to ask them to pick the winners of our Final Four matchups for Monster Madness. Well, we asked them a bunch of stuff. This is the first of many Penny Arcade-related stories we have banked. Expect a few more next …
Would you accept a job at Pixar?
Um, yeah, so would I. (Don’t tell Peter)
The studio behind everything from Up to Wall-E, from Toy Story to Toy Story 2, strikes me as a hotbed of ingenuity. A shop where creativity rules. A place where the impossible becomes possible. Just listening to someone like director Pete Docter talk about …
The iPad launch is upon us. Here are ten apps that have been optimized for Apple latest creation and should be available by the time you get your new best friend out of its box.
Also, congrats to our lucky giveaway winner. Techland reader “doubleang” was randomly selected to receive the Universal Gadget Wrist Charger showcased in …
Is a 3D air battle, between a flying Pegasus and a majorly pissed off Kraken, worth your $15 or $20?
I guess that’s the real question when it comes to Clash of the Titans, a souped-up but strung-out mishmash of ancient greek mythology and cutting-edge special effects. At the end of the day, I don’t think the form really fits the …
I’m not sure why I think video game comics are going to be good. I keep trying (Gears of War, Metal Gear, Street Fighter, Halo) and I keep getting burned. This week God of War and Dragon Age were both forgettable as well. What franchises out there might make a good comic? Final Fantasy seems like a good candidate, no? Assassin’s Creed? …
The final issue of Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis’s Blackest Night came out this week, and it’s a profoundly reactionary comic book–a story that doesn’t just roll back a chunk of its fictional setting to the way it was decades ago, but argues that actual change isn’t meaningful or possible.
Blackest Night was deftly put together in a lot …
Doctor Who fans are a patient lot, but it’s well past time for the series to get back into a reliable weekly rhythm. Don’t you think?
David Tennant was so good as the tenth doctor that the producers were willing to let the show slow down for a little while, stringing together an array of specials that marked the end of the Tennant …
