Tomorrow Is C-Day 2 – The Crossed Will Return

Mar 12th

Posted by Mathias Lewis

Last year was the first annual C-Day, the day that celebrates Garth Ennis’ sick and twisted zombie-like comic, Crossed, from Avatar Press. To celebrate, comic shops around the world held Crossed parties filled with cosplay, comics, and even cupcakes! Avatar provided survival kits to select shops that included pins, masks (to hide your face from the Crossed), and more. It was great fun for many involved, as we showed in last years coverage of the event. The big hit of last year’s C-Day was the premier of two new Crossed series, the on-going Crossed: Badlands and the free web-series known More >

Marvel’s X-Termination

Nov 26th

Posted by Mathias Lewis

Today Marvel announced their next big X-event. For those of you who read last week’s Uncanny X-Force #34, the teaser image below will likely make some sense. X-Termination, set to come out in March of next year, seems to bring back the Age of Apocalypse Nightcrawler, who ominously abandoned his X-Force teammates at the end of Uncanny X-Force: The Final Execution Saga. Understandably, Wolverine looks a little pissed off. Whether this event will be focused solely on Uncanny X-Force aftermath or be a more encompassing and deeper story has yet to be made clear. Expect more news on X-Termination to More >

Everyone loves a sexy, half naked, Geek girl or guy and the men and women of Toronto’s Underground Peepshow are well aware of this.

The Walking Dead Escape At San Diego’s Comic Con International

Jun 10th

Posted by Mathias Lewis

Everyone always talks about their zombie plan, an idea of what weapon best fends off the undead, or where they will run/hide in a zombie apocalypse. Of course, outside of playing the part of a brain hungry walker in the occasional zombie walk, you’re generally not going to get a chance to test out these plans…unless, perhaps, if you live in Miami. But joking of bad drug trips aside, the creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, has a game to truly test your undead survival skills. No, it’s not one of Cryptozoic’s fancy board games, but rather a real More >

John Romita Jr.’s World Record Signing for Charity

May 6th

Posted by Megan Hanson

John Romita Jr. is attempting to break his own World Record, the longest personal signing and drawing appearance. For 50 hours John Romita Jr. sat in his chair with bathroom breaks only once every five hours. He feasted on nuts, dried fruit, and small amounts of water. He slaved away signing and sketching for his loving fans, for 50 straight hours! But, why? Why would a man put himself through this not once, but twice? For charity, of course!

Ten years ago, John’s niece was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, the most common form of malignant brain tumors More >

May 5th

Posted by Mathias Lewis

July 11-14, 2012, will see TR!CKSTER return to San Diego, right across from the famous Comic Con International, to show off artwork from some of the greatest indie creators in the comic book industry. However, this year they’re moving up in locations from the San Diego’s Wine and Culinary Center to the beautiful Wine Steals and its adjoining Proper Gastro Pub. These new locations give the event more room to display art, as well as more bars and restaurant food to enjoy alongside creators. As they’re saying on Tr!ckster’s website:
