Another amazing aspect of comic con culture is the emergence of family cosplay. I love how Comic-Con has become a place where parents and offspring can celebrate their fandom together. Cons truly are a place where everyone is a kid! One dynamic duo that have really modeled this is Shawn and Gavin Ritcher. Coming onto the …

After a gargantuan opening of $182 million dollars, or equal to Tony Stark’s manicure budget, Captain America: Civil War has exceeded the expectations of both fans and critics.

It was a wibbly-wobbly time with David Tennant at Madison Comic Con! To thousands of rabid Whovians, Tennant was charming, personal and as witty as a madman in a blue box. It was definitely one of the loudest rooms I have ever experienced! We chatted about how he got into acting, his unique take as the …

I had a chance to interview our favorite space mechanic, Jewel Staite, at Madison Comic Con.

It was an awesome WonderCon in LA this past weekend! To an almost sold-out crowd, the LA Convention Center was jam-packed with cosplayers and attendees in every nook and cranny.
