You know that San Diego Comic Con is going to be packed. With that density of people and content comes the small satisfaction that just about any interest or desire can be satiated at the con -- yes, that included. So, if you...

A tantalizing image was distributed by Bandai Namco today, showing the outline of two mysterious SoulCalibur characters. Who could they be? What crazy console exclusive guests will appear in this chapter? This pair,...

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year, you should have known that Iron Man and Wolverine animes were in the works. However, just announced at the San Diego Comic-Con, some new details have surfaced. G4 has ...

Time to play wrap-up con! Over at San Diego Comic Con, Yen Press announced that they're licensing the hit manga Highschool of the Dead, coming hot on the heels of the anime license by Sentai Filmworks. Awesome. They'll be bri...

I was all over the place today, but thankfully I had a chance to drop by the Bandai Visual panel. I had heard that they had planned several announcements, though I had wondered why they decided to make those announcements her...

I was hoping to get these up last night, but at least now everyone will have something nice to wake up to. There is a pretty good mix of pop culture, comics and anime in this batch, and while it doesn't really focus on any on...

I've scraped together some more cosplay from last week's Comic-Con. This time it's mostly Death Note and Naruto related, but you can't blame me for that one. Also, before anyone asks, it wasn't like I was trying to create a g...

Like Dale mentioned before, Comic-Con is full of all kinds of cosplay that you just don't find at anime cons. Of course, it doesn't quite stack up to what you might find at something like Anime Expo, but that doesn't sto...

A lot has gone on during our coverage of San Diego Comic Con, and I have to applaud our team as they went out there and braved the total nerdocalypse that was Comic Con, especially after marathoning through both Anime Expo an...

Oh man. I'm so glad it's over. It's been a long week, but we're finally done with the 2009 San Diego Comic-con. It's a wrap. We've pulled together one last cosplay gallery for your viewing enjoyment. We'll look back on t...

Yeah, I'm one of those guys that runs around with his iPhone, taking pictures of everything. Yes, there are better cameras, but it's just so easy to pull your phone out and snap some shots.I've pulled together a gallery of su...

While I was unable to attend the viz panel due to scheduling issues with Marvel, some news came from it that's worth mentioning. About.com's Deb Aoki filled me in on some of the news that might catch your atten...

Well, according to Andrew Lazar, a producer for Warner Bros. any ways. Apparently the movie itself is considered a priority for them, and if we're to believe Lazar's comments, they're actually working on the script as we spea...

While there really is no definite word on the matter, Steve Blum has more than likely secured his role as Wolverine's voice for the foreseeable future, at least when it comes to the American Marvel productions. We best k...

When I normally do the cosplay gallery thing, I'm in my element at an anime convention. Comic-con is a totally different beast, though. At the anime things, I know all of the costumes (well, most), and I find myself informing...

Yesterday, I sat in on the Marvel Animation panel at Comic Con, where they showed off both their American animation projects as well a few of their new anime projects with Madhouse. While the American show...

Okay, so now that the craziness of preview night is over, I managed to get a decent look at the Viz and Dark Horse booths. Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot there-- at least for me. For all the space Viz took up, you'd think t...

Sure, Comic-Con might have been completely infested with Twilight fans yesterday, but that left time for people to find great things. Cute things like a new game in development called Yoroinu, or simply Armoredogs. ...

I'm jealous of kids these days. They really don't understand just how spoiled they are. Growing up, I didn't have anything like Pokémon, or Digimon. Sure there were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

Well apparently the Bandai panel tonight is going to be more of the same that we've seen at Anime Expo and Otakon, though with no confession sessions or fun surprises. Speaking to Robert Napton, their director of marketing, e...

It must be nice to be Square Enix. They can snap their fingers and have manga's biggest and best do custom work for their fancy little showcase here. We checked out Square Enix's offerings at Comic-con's preview night, a...
