Expect plenty of announcements to roll out during Comic-Con over the next four days, at least surrounding the biggest and most popular franchises. I, for one, am planning on hearing a whole lot more about TRON: Legacy, Harry Potter, Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead. Maybe The Green Lantern and Green Hornet to boot.
But …
It’s Thursday morning, the morning of the first day of actual programming at Comic-Con, and the atmosphere is approximately the same as right before the fiesta starts in Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises.
At least nobody’s getting their genitals shot off here. As far as we know.
The preview night last night was really nice for about …
Psych!
Flynn’s Arcade is around the corner from where we’re staying and while everything is under wraps at the moment, I did manage to snag a photo of crew unloading some arcade machines, including Tapper.

The folks at Disney haven’t said when Flynn’s …
If Watchmen co-creator – and famously irascible bastard – Alan Moore is to be believed, DC Comics has plans for sequels to the classic superhero series that changed the genre forever, and DC co-publisher Dan Didio’s own comments on the subject aren’t exactly as neutral as he probably intended. Talking to Wired’s Underwire blog, Moore …
First movie to try to claim this year’s District 9 viral buzz at San Diego Comic-Con? That’ll be Battle: Los Angeles, an upcoming Columbia Pictures science fiction film that’s placed mysterious posters around town, directing con-goers to a website called ReportThreats.org, which purports to be the site of W.A.T.C.H., or Worldwide …
In all their infinite wisdom, Universal Studios has put together the “Scott Pilgrim Experience” that will flaunt every aspect of the graphic novel’s infamy. Ubisoft’s PlayStation exclusive downloadable title Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game will be playable for all. The cast of the movie will be screen-printing tees of …
Comic-Con’s events started a little early yesterday: an hour before Preview Night began, Boom! Studios had a press conference to announce three new ongoing series created with Stan Lee’s involvement. Paul Cornell and Javier Pina’s Soldier Zero begins in October, Mark Waid and Chad Hardin’s The Traveler in November and Chris Roberson and …
You should care about Comic-Con. Yes, you; whoever you are, regardless of what genre turns you on, or what kind of entertainment you consume.
Once upon a time, Comic-Con may have been a fringe event, more centered around comics and caped crusaders. But not any more. As sci-fi television has surged to the top of the ratings – hello …
Comic-Con’s Preview Night has come and gone and I’m already overwhelmed to be quite honest since this if my first Comic-Con, but it’s also been quite a bit of fun. One of my first stops was AMC’s The Walking Dead booth, which was pretty righteous. I’m not entirely sure what was being shown on the interactive screens but I can …
Just landed in San Diego. Comic-Con opens tonight — you can get into the show floor for a couple of hours for a kind of warm-up look-around deal.
It’s probably the best part of the entire show: a brief moment during which Comic-Con actually looks sort of like the show it should be. The halls are merely crowded, not actually packed …
Last week, the web was (once again) having itself a good long belly laugh at another geeky gag by the talented crew at Improv Everywhere. This time we got a reenactment of the first meeting between Princess Leia and Darth Vader set in the subways of New York City. One week later, we’re still smiling. Behold, the mission’s …
Ladies and Gents:
This is your beefcake Thor and his mighty Mjolnir. What exactly has Chris Hemsworth been eating?!
Not only did USA Today reveal an out of costume Son of Asgard but some of us at Techland are speculating that Marvel Studios will not reveal footage from the upcoming Kenneth Branagh film. Take a look at all the
