Comic-Con visited New York at the weekend, and I was there. I agree with what Fez Whatley said on Ron and Fez earlier today: the show was fun, but you can definitely tell that New York Comic-Con is the B show to San Diego’s A show. That’s not all bad, as the New York show doesn’t feel as commercial as the San Diego one; there are no lame actors trying to attach themselves to geek culture for… → Read More
We gave you a first picture back in April, and now we can show you the full Comic Con trailer for the new Thor movie, which just leaked online. It’s in good quality, but be warned. It’s awesome, but very long (about 5 minutes) and contains a lot of footage/possible spoilers. → Read More
Earlier today on the Ron & Fez show on Sirius XM, the great Ron Bennington made an astute point: Comic-Con may be too big for its own good. It used to be a place where geeks and nerds could get together to talk about storyline inconsistencies in the latest Batman series. Now? It’s just as much about A-list-ish celebrities “being seen” and hawking their trash as it is celebrating the… → Read More
Oh, Baroness! So sassy with your trenchcoat and your dual pistols! If you’re headed to Comic-Con pop into the Hasbro booth and get some exclusive GI Joe dolls for the inner dork in you. The Baroness and a certain man in a chrome mask will be in full effect and you can even get a little back-story with the James McCullen IX and James McCullen XXIV action figures. Is it just me or are they… → Read More

The San Diego Comic Con is next week, and there’s bound to be more than a few video game announcements worth paying attention to. Chief among them, maybe: what’s LucasArts up to? The company has sent an e-mail with the phrase that pays: “There will be several world exclusive announcements at the Star Wars Spectacular keynote.” → Read More
It’s probably best to playact with this Star Trek Tricorder in the privacy of your own home. Please do yourself a favor and if you must spend $49.99 on this, keep it on a shelf somewhere and only play with the working sound effects and lights when no one is around. Sound good? → Read More
Greetings! We (my brother Gabriel , who posed as an intern for a day, and I) went to Comic Con at the weekend. Then I got my other brother, Christian, to be the anchor. This is the result, the first official broadcast of CGNN. → Read More

It’s the same “you guys are dorks” deal that Triumph has been doing for several years now, so if you’re offended by sophomoric humor à la Conan steer clear. via Someone’s… → Read More
The San Diego Comic-con in time-lapse. In which grown men can dream like little boys, purchase paper “comical books” from boxes, dress up like Batman, maybe meet a nice girl. Auto-playing video after the jump… → Read More
Curses. Why am I not there?! Oh well. Maybe next year. io9 on the other hand is there and they’ve written up a nice little recap of what they’ve seen. I’ve chosen not to read the entire excerpt, but you guys and gals are more than welcome to. We saw an exclusive red-band trailer that included some more adult-ish scenes from the movie. It started out with a close-up of… → Read More
The fine gents over at Kotaku spoke to Ed Boon, the Godfather of the Mortal Kombat series, who says that the next game in the series, Mortal Kombat 9, will be bloodier, more violent, and more Mortal Kombat than ever before. In other words, it’s the Mortal Kombat you fell in love with, all those years ago. Can we all agree that MKII was the bestt? It all sorta fell apart from there, though… → Read More
“But enough talk, have at you!” I don’t do comics that much anymore and I rarely have time for video games. But you show me a good Castlevania action-figure and I’ll show you an excited guy in his twenties. Check out the frickin’ detail on Alucard and Belmont. Now this is what I call justice for one of the most popular Konami series’ of all time. Castlevania… → Read More
Save the handset, save the world. IGN is reporting that Heroes: The Mobile Game will make its debut at Comic-Com in San Diego this week. Based on the hit series from NBC, the mobile title will be published by Gameloft and players will get to experience the thrill of having superhuman abilities. Or at least experience what it is like to have superhuman abilities on a small mobile screen. The script… → Read More
Someone is certainly making a small fortune in licensing fees from the Halo franchise. After yesterday’s announcement that McFarlane will be producing action figures, we’re hearing that WizKids plans on producing more than 80 miniatures from the Halo universe, including vehicle packs. The Halo ActionClix CMG (Collectable Miniatures Game) is one of the latest of such tabletop games from… → Read More
