PlayStation 4: See The Teaser
May 20th
While some of the specs for the PS4 are already out, no one really knows the the next gen Playstation console from Sony will actually look like. But today a teaser trailer was released, giving us a date for when we can first see the brand new PS4. This seems to be a trend these days, releasing short teasers online to build up a viral interest in an actual announcement at a later date. Both Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series for ABC and DC’s Batman: Arkham Origins have done similar online teaser ads recently, amongst others. Today’s teaser popped up on More >
SG2M Travels: Long Beach Comic Expo ’13
May 10th
There’s very little like a one day comic convention, where you can just escape away into the comic world without the high cost or commitment of a full weekend con. But most 1-day comic cons tend to be really tiny events, with a handful of guests at best. Long Beach Comic Expo is different. While LBCX is not on the same level of its fall convention, Expo has a rather large number of guests and exhibitors, including a few major comic companies on hand to sell their wares, sign your books, and keep you entertained. At just $15 a ticket, More >

C2E2 had barely even begun when we received this first surprising news from the convention.

This may not have been Aspen’s first convention of the year, with appearances at Amazing Arizona, Emerald City Comicon, and MegaCon, but this was the first convention in which Aspen MLT held a panel.

WonderCon ’13: Managing Minds – An Interview With Matt Kindt
Apr 10th
At WonderCon Anaheim, this past Easter weekend, Dark Horse’s Mind MGMT was one of the more buzzed about books. With the recent announcement that acclaimed director, Ridley Scott, was producing the story for a theatrical release through Twentieth Century Fox the already popular title was practically in the spotlight. I had the pleasure of sitting down with the creator of the Dark Horse original series Mind MGMT, Matt Kindt, and ask him some questions about his highly discussed title.

GAMA Trade Show ’13: Wyrd Miniatures
Apr 6th
Wyrd Miniatures started off with the world of Malifaux, a world connected to ours but with a resource that powers magic. It began with the skirmish game of Malifaux where factions fought over soul stones that were extremely valuable Earthside. Wyrd Miniatures is expanding on their current game by continuing to add more models and even adding new factions. They have also switched over to a plastic line of models which should help with price but also make working with them easier for new players too.
The world of Malifaux is also getting more thought out, with the development of an RPG. More >
