Godzilla: King of the Monsters Comic Con poster
The trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters is well worth a watch. It’s full of kaiju… or titans are they’re called in the clip. There’s also a hint of King Ghidorah, perhaps Godzilla’s most established foe. There’s no mucking around with this official poster released for Comic Con. Christopher Shy’s work has the three-headed […]
What I learned by taking my 8 month old son to Comic Con
I’ve gone to the San Diego Comic Con every year since 2005. My husband has been going since 1999. We’ve gone together every year since we met in 2007, including when I was five months pregnant last year. So now that we have a son, there was no question that he was going to come […]
Brilliant costume mashups from the 2018 San Diego Comic Con
Yesterday you saw some of the great genderswapped costumes from this year’s San Diego Comic Con, but if you’re looking for some truly clever cosplays, it’s hard to beat those that mashup two different characters.

10 trends spotted at the San Diego Comic Con
While there are certain things that remain the same at every Comic Con (lots of cosplay, trailer releases, long lines, etc.) each convention is also quite distinct from the last. Each year, there are certain franchises, merchandise types and costumes that dominate the convention and make it a unique butterfly of that year’s pop culture […]

Cosplayers ace the Phoenix Comicon prop ban
The Comicon in Phoenix had a last minute prop ban for a very good reason. A man was arrested with a collection of guns and weapons as he trying to sneak in. He wanted to kill the actor Jason David Frank, the green Power Ranger, and ‘bad cops’. Banning weapons, even pretend ones, at the […]
