I've been lucky enough to have seen Len Wein on many panels over the years, the last one will always be the one I remember most. It was last year, at SDCC 2017, and it was the tribute panel for Bernie Wrightson. Len was clearly not doing well, and he had a hard time even […]
I have been listening to The Adventure Zone (TAZ) podcast since close to the beginning, so when they announced they would be doing a graphic novel I was very excited. Turns out I wasn't the only excited about this, as The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins debuted this last week at #1 on The […]
The wonderful thing at SDCC is sometimes you can have a passing moment with someone whose work you love and respect. And sometimes, you get to sit down with one of these people and have a conversation about something amazing they worked on. This year I was able to do just that with Bill Morrison, […]
The Wynonna Earp train continues to roll on the SyFy channel, with season 3 having just begun the week of SDCC 2018, and then two big announcements at the SDCC panel that made Earpers (nickname given to the amazing fans of the show) scream for joy. Funko Pops will be coming in 2019, and SyFy […]
The panel kicked off with a well-deserved awarding of Comic-Con International's Inkpot Award to David Mack for his contributions to comics, television, film, and humanity. Next the panel moderator Wendy Browne from Women Write About Comics. kicked off the panel by showing a music video that Mack did for Amanda Palmer's song 'Pulp Fiction' that was […]
I will tell you right off the bat that I am an unabashed fan of Wynonna Earp, and this has been the case before the first episode ever aired. I enjoyed the original comic book by Beau Smith, and I got to see the first episodes before the show ever aired on SyFy, so I […]
Ted Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of IDW, started the "IDW PDX: Full Bleed" panel off by explaining the creation of PDX, the newest IDW imprint responsible for publishing Full Bleed, the quarterly hardcover magazine from PDX. PDX is the airport code for Portland's airport, which Dirk Wood, then IDW VP of Marketing, would regularly fly […]
Video, Photos, and Words courtesy of Bleeding Cool's Jimmy Lezczynski: Superman Dies again! Possibly due to the poor performance of Doomsday, or maybe to try and tell a bigger story. Whatever the reason is, WB Animation has animated The Death of Superman story, again. But with a more modern eye. A few of the story's plot […]
SDCC is celebrating 25 years of Hellboy with a section in the show's souvenir book and the cover of the program guide, so it was no surprise that when Mike Mignola entered the room the audience erupted into cheers and applause. Joined on the panel by Hellboy titles editor Katii O'Brien, Mignola immediately let the […]

So I will get to the question that everyone is asking, did Groo colorist Tom Luth attend the panel. The answer, sadly is no, but that didn't stop a full room of people from having grand old time listening to Groo The Wanderer artist Sergio Aragones, writer Mark Evanier, and letterer Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo) […]
Joshua Stone writes from WonderCon 2018: One of my favorite things that has happened in comics in the last 10 years is the creation of the Artist's Edition books by IDW. Allowing the reader the opportunity to own and look at in person the highest quality scans of some of the most important original comic […]
Over the years there have been certain panels that I try to see whenever they happen, whether at SDCC or Wondercon. The Sergio, Mark, and Tom Show falls firmly into that category. I must have seen some iteration of this panel at least 7-8 times over the years. Why you ask. Well, because the panel […]
This past weekend, the 29th Annual Gallifrey One materialized into the Los Angeles Marriott. It remains North America's largest and longest-running Doctor Who convention. It regularly hosts the top collective lineup of Whovian celebrity guests to be found anywhere: Steven Moffat, Sylvester McCoy, Matt Lucas, and many more. Among the thousands of attendees, it was […]
Joshua Stone writes: About a month ago, I received email with the subject being "Lucifer – Tom Welling and Tom Ellis". This was either spam targeting nerds interested in a very specific television show, or an email that was proposing some nerd fun for yours truly. Thankfully, it was the latter of the two. And so […]
I am happy to say I've been on the Wynonna Earp bandwagon since the very beginning. At SDCC this year, I added even more wonderful Wynonna Earp experiences, including attending a party with the cast, crew, and fans. I also went to the panel, where the entire room exploded with joy when they announced that there […]
Sometimes you go into an interview expecting one thing and you end up with something completely different. This is what happened at SDCC this year when I interviewed the cast of SpongeBob SquarePants. The Saturday morning of SDCC, I sat down with Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), and Mr. Lawrence […]
There are very few comic book creators who have been working as long as Walt Simonson and continue to produce such a high level of work after 40 plus years in the business. This panel was a spotlight on Simonson's career, and there was no better person to moderate the panel than his wife, Louise […]
Sunday is family programming day at SDCC every year, so what better way to kick it off than to attend the LEGO Scooby Doo! Blowout Beach Bash panel and watch the movie with my 12-year-old son? The movie features Scooby and the Gang in their second direct-to-video Lego movie release. The movie finds the Scooby […]
