Tomorrow Is Halloween ComicFest!
Oct 30th
October 31st is a very special day, and not just because everyone will be dressing up in awesome costumes and go threatening tricks for treats.

Disney’s Purchase of Lucasfilm & What It Means
Oct 30th
…And then the internet exploded! Or atleast that was what it felt like when a couple of hours ago the Walt Disney Company announced their plans to acquire LucasFilm LTD from the founder, chairman and sole owner, George Lucas. A cash and stock purchase that equals to 4.05 billion dollars, a deal that both boards have agreed to.
“This transaction combines a world-class portfolio of content including Star Wars, one of the greatest family entertainment franchises of all time, with Disney’s unique and unparalleled creativity across multiple platforms, businesses, and markets to generate sustained growth and drive significant long-term value,” said More >
Disney Purchases Lucasfilm LTD.
Oct 30th
It has just been announced that right now Disney is looking to purchase Lucasfilm LTD. for $4.05 Billion USD. A lot is currently uncertain, with talks of Lucas being paid in a mixture of cash and Disney stocks in the buy out; the deal including not only the classic Star Wars franchise, but also other Lucasfilm LTD. businesses such as LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, and Skywalker Sound; the potential for this deal to be much like the Marvel purchase, with the company remaining relatively untouched; and the promotion of Lucasfilm co-chairman, Kathleen Kennedy, to president of the company.

Bedlam #1 Preview
Oct 29th
Fillmore Press was once Madder Red, a homicidal maniac and criminal overlord who terrorized the town of Bedlam for years. Then he got better. The story of Bedlam is what happens next. The newest Image comic series hits stores this week and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Ever since viewing a preview of the comic earlier this summer I have been dying to share it with people and this preview gives me a chance. This maddeningly dark and somewhat hilarious tale of a Joker-esque supervillian is guaranteed to be a cult hit comic.

Charismagic: The Death Princess #1 Preview
Oct 29th
Earlier this year saw the publication of Vince Hernandez’ brand new series about magic, Vegas showmanship, and talking cats from Aspen MLT. Charismagic was a spectacular 6-issue epic following the adventures of Hank Medley, his cat, Sparkles, and the powerful Sudana as they tried to prevent the evil Samsun from returning to Earth. Filled with great characters, humor, and high octane adventure, the series’ first volume was a great success, with a second volume already in the works. But before that second volume has us returning to the adventures of Hank the Magnificent, Aspen has plans for another tale set More >
Joss Whedon Wants You To Vote For Zombies In The 2012 US Presidential Election
Oct 28th
Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and director of The Avengers, has recently created a very unexpected and hilarious presidential campaign ad for next week’s 2012 election. The short ad, posted under his new youtube account, WhedonOnRomney, has Joss explaining why he thinks a vote for presidential candidate Mitt Romney could lead to a zombie apocalypse. We’re not here to take sides on the election, though Joss seems to subtly do so in this video. What led to this video is hard to say, but moments of humor mixed with politcal views are somewhat rampant thanks to More >
