Well, its another day at the San Diego Comic-Con, and news is kind of slow here. Nothing earth-shattering along the lines of The Sandman announcement yesterday has broken yet. The majority of the day has been about your favorite TV shows returning this fall. So let’s go with….
First: TV! Continue reading

Comic-Con has begun, and with Elizabeth Ann on the ground floor doing her thing for NerdLush (and hopefully just having a great time), I’m here to recap some of the big news and events that happened today in San Diego.

The San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) isn’t starting until Thursday (unless you count the preview night of some of the upcoming series coming up this fall later today), but that doesn’t mean early news is starting to leak in regarding some of the big announcements and events coming up. Keep checking in over the weekend for some on the ground photos and commentary complied from from NerdLush hostess Elizabeth Ann, plus yours truly bringing you a round-up of the news (and my snarky responses) coming out of Comic-Con.

This time tomorrow I will be on the freeway heading from LA to San Diego in the annual Nerd Pilgrimage. I missed San Diego Comic-Con last year so I am super excited to be attending this year. I usually attend, with my brother (see here and here for explanations as to why), on behalf of Evil Squirrel Comics in Chicago. I love ESC- it’s my home away from home. This year, however, James and I have a new boss and shall be working for my other home away from home- Action Flick Chick. In the last few weeks, it’s been fun getting an idea of who we may end up talking to for AFC. Certainly made our usual moseying around a little more difficult, but goodness knows- we are up to the challenge! Continue reading

PAX ROMANA by Jonathan Hickman (Image Comics/collected)
If anything can be learned from time travel stories, its that meddling with the past can have unintended consequences. One of the best examples of this is the now late Ray Bradbury’s classic short story A Sound of Thunder, where a simple bug being crushed changes the entire course of human history. With all the infinite possibilities for disaster the notion of going back to the past presents, you would think such an idea would not be cavalierly pursued. The concept of writer/artist Jonathan Hickman’s time travel world-building epic Pax Romana is that even with a unified purpose, things still can change in a surprising way. Continue reading

100 BULLETS by Brian Azzarello & Edurado Risso (Vertigo/DC Comics/collected)

This summer has already had some massive surprises (The Avengers trouncing almost every movie this May) and some big disappointments (cough Battleship cough Dark Shadows ahem), and even some last minute rescheduling (G.I. Joe: Retaliation being pushed back to March 2013!). But there’s plenty of nerd-worthy material hitting theaters this summer that look promising: Continue reading
One of the beautiful things of having most of the NerdLush crew in the L.A. area is that we can get together to do things. Continue reading

As much as I love a decent comic and been a big comic book reader since I was a little tot, I appreciate it when someone goes and tries to do something beyond the superhero genre. But, there is still a bit of the stigma that comics are just for kids or adults in arrested development (and those people who believe that are usually speaking out of their ass). So, for those of who are not big fans of heroes in tights or just want a change from the norm, I’m taking a few paragraphs to spotlight comics that you may want to check out either monthly, collected, or in digital form. With that out of the way, let’s get to it… Continue reading
