Comic Con 2013
 

Well San Diego Comic Con is well underway at the moment. I'd love to have all the comic con related stuff wrapped up in one place.

So is there anything interesting that you found out from Comic Con? Go ahead and post it in this thread.

I'm talking about anything from movie trailers to tv news, comics, graphic novels, collector toys or even cosplay babes.


I stumbled across MadeFire which is an iOS app that helps with displaying motion books on tablets and what not.




A few cosplayers to get that started off as well.

I recently went to the Melbourne one and it wasn't THAT spectacular... I met some of the cast of Charmed, which was interesting. lol.

The one of the right should have stayed home. Supergirl and the Joker are meh. But Batgirl can get it.

Here's some better ones...

Gee, Batlord, what do all those girls have in common, hmmmm

Best cosplay I've seen so far:

I most certainly agree BUT I have a soft spot for my fellow geeks/nerds so I don't care that they look a bit homely they tried but you are most definitely right Batgirl is the best one out of that bunch. I just posted that to get it started. I wasn't trying to say they were the best ones.

Did you get their autographs? :D I may to go the NY one in October but the San Diego one is the mecca.


I really like that one Circe, Hipster Disney Princesses.

If you guys were going to cosplay what would you go as?

I would probably go as Blanka but good god the time that it's going to take to cover me in green make up from head to toe would be a PITA but it would be worth it.

Oh yeah, I also heard they showed the pilot for Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. I can't wait til that show comes on.

I would be Rikku!

PS. I love cosplay. But I've never tried it. :3 And I don't know who this girl is.

i'd say the biggest news is the Superbum....eh i mean man and Batman movie

but as for something that won't suck

marvels announcement of Guardians of the Galaxy with an appearance of the entire cast

the teaser for Avengers 2!!!!! The Age of Ultron!!!!!!!!!

Captain America: The Winter Soldier looks fucking amazing


Tom Hiddleston coming out and doing an entire interview in character as Loki must have been awesome

i wish i could have been there for the Enders Game panel....meeting Harrison Ford would be great

i'm going next year :)

what? There was a teaser for Avengers 2? I didn't hear about that. I couldn't care less about Captain America's solo movie or Thor's for that matter. I haven't watched the first one and won't be watching the sequels.

I wanted contacts that made my eyes look like Rikku but the guy selling the designer contacts only had purple with red swirls so I bought those instead and wore them for a couple of months mostly out clubbing and to bars.


Also after hearing about the Batman Superman movie for 2015. I thought they weren't doing Justice League again but it's slated for 2017.

Also a Flash movie in 2016.

ohhh i did not hear about the Flash movie :)

seriously the Thor movie is ok....but i really felt they scored with Captain America....just a very well done flick

also i think they have slated the Justice League film for 2017

and edit again

i think they should concentrate on making a good Superman flick before teaming him up with anyone

bob when you go next year will you be doing any cosplay?

I'm thinking about going to the NY one here in a few months but I'd love to go to the San Diego one.

I may see you there next year!

first and foremost....seriously man if you can make it let me know and we will have to hang out and get drinks :)

as for cosplay....eh my cosplay days are over.....although i was thinking of going as the food critic from Ratatouille
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__...-Anton_Ego.jpg

this will be my third Comic Con but my first with friends that arn't looking for jobs in the industry....so i can just have fun :)

Anyone in San Diego: say hello to Jhonen Vasquez for me.
I haven't paid attention to his current work but for some reason I decided to re-read Squee and JTHM about a month ago.

Is there any buzz about the film yet? If they do it right then it could be one of the best sci fi movies of all time. But it's Hollywood, so I'm assuming that I'll be wanting to walk out of the theater a half hour in.

from the previews it looks pretty good....the kid they got playing Ender in my opinion is pretty spot on....well looks wise



there were rumors a while back that they would be combining Ender's Game with Ender's Shadow for the film.....personally i think that would loose some of the grip the story can have on the reader/audience...although i very much enjoyed reading Bean's story

What does everyone think of the next Superman movie bringing in Batman?

Sorry I haven't quite yet mastered the emerging language of "using animated .gifs to express my thoughts"

I think it's because I try to stay out of the Lounge as much as possible.

I saw it coming from a mile away because it's exactly the kind of cheap film tactic to prey on nerds that Hollywood's been applying for the past few years. As long as Nolan's batman isn't being used in a Zack Snyder film I don't really care. I'm projecting this whole Justice League farce to fall apart eventually so any forgettable Superman/Batman combos that come out of it aren't interesting to me at all.

^^^^ This ^^^^

I can't really say I'm that excited or optimistic either. With bringing on the same team as Man of Steel I can't help but think all the same problems with that movie are going to be present in the new one. I mean if you thought Superman was depressing in Man of Steel, it's going to be made all the worse when you bring in Captain Bring-Down (Batman). Not only that but with only three years after Christopher Nolan's trilogy fresh in everyone's minds, the new Batman is going to go up against constant scrutiny.

It really does feel like this Justice League movie is being made because Warner Bros. thinks it has to be made now after The Avengers happened, not because someone is desperate to tell a story about a group of superheroes.

Not to mention they still don't have a way of making it happen. DC have the problem of all but three or four of their heroes being largely forgotten in pop culture, and building a Justice League without those guys getting their own films is a guaranteed disaster. Man of Steel has not encouraged audiences to look forward to those films and it's mainly because studios just do not ****ing learn that we are all sick of origin stories for popular heroes by now. Nobody wants to sit around for half the film watching the story of where Superman came from for the fiftieth time, nor do they want to put up with yet another scene of Bruce Wayne's parents being shot and the boy's journey towards the mask. We enjoy variety and originality, even if research predicts that Superman will sell more tickets than Nightwing.

Wanna know why The Avengers did so well? Good but obscure heroes being brought into the public eye with a breath of new fresh air. Contrast that with Warner Bros making the billionth Superman film this decade and sticking yet another reboot of Batman in there for good measure. They don't even have the balls to take on a Wonder Woman film because their flowcharts project that a female superhero film is a slightly bigger risk. Not to mention that they're eventually going to have to try and salvage something out of the mess that was that Green Lantern film (which is possible - just look at the Hulk). I just wish they'd stop beating the dead horse of their two most iconic characters and get around to actually trying to fulfill the ambition.

In its current state this Justice League project has the very real potential to kill off the A list superhero trend for good, which is worrying. I'd really rather the trend burned out of its own accord after saying all it had to say, which is my way of saying I want a Deadpool film and another Daredevil that doesn't suck before we hopefully move on to something that isn't linked to Michael Bay at all.

Yeah the fact that they're doing a Flash movie before Wonder Woman kind of goes to show how little respect Warner Bros. seems to have for the source material. There are three components to the Justice League, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Human Sonic the Hedgehog is an important character to the Justice League, but he doesn't need his own movie.

As to that movie being what could possibly kill off the superhero movie genre, I think it could definitely kill off Warner Bros. interest in making superhero movies that aren't Batman. I think it will be a mixture of oversaturation and something new coming along that will eventually do it, although if Marvel studios and Disney play their cards right I don't think that will happen before 2020.

It will be interesting how they incorporate some of the weirder superheroes like Ant-Man and Dr. Strange, and I would not be surprised if they test those characters in that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D TV series that starts up in the fall. I don't think it's impossible to get the more casual superhero fans into the stranger elements of comics, and from what I've heard the fan reaction to Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty positive and I have a feeling the movie will do alright next year.

What's sad is that if Warner Bros. got their sh*t together earlier, they could have done the exact same thing that Marvel did with Agent Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D. in Iron Man. While she is a little obscure, Agent Cameron Chase of the Department of Extranormal Operations would have been a great character to help with world building in their three big movies of the last 6 years. I'm still hoping Warner Bros. can pull it together and do justice to to an expanded DC universe, but I'm not holding my breath.

I was just thinking the same thing earlier today/last night.

If the test footage for Ant-Man is any indication they are probably going to go a straight comedy route for him.

Nope, but I got photos with them! I wasn't that excited though, TBH! I'm not going to post the photos because of a rather revealing cosplay outfit I was in at the time ;) Don't feel comfortable putting that shit on the net!

hmmmm how revealing? cleavage you mean? you can also just like edit it til you are comfortable enough to show it block out/cover up some areas with like black boxes or something along those lines

Not that revealing, but revealing enough to not want to post seeing as I work in a government job ;)

hmm well I should be expecting a PM soon with the pic. Who were you even cosplaying as btw?


I'm having a hard time finding what Jessica Nigri wore this year. Hmmm



This will have to do in the mean time until I can find out what she wore at Comic Con

Probably the best cosplay in terms of quality I've seen so far:

http://i.imgur.com/R4gtbqt.jpg

that's a pretty damn awesome Penguin.


OMFG, I just found out that Bishop and Colossus is going to be in the next X-men movie. I'm more hyped for Bishop though. Awesome sauce.

Also, stupid Nigri didn't show up for Comic Con.... /sadface.

But here are two comic con cosplay related videos to make up for it!



Kassem G my kind of asshole. We are separated at birth.

Of course we all knew that what this thread was really about was hot cosplay girls. Because everything should be about hot cosplay girls.

So true and I will continue with some of the pics that I took at the NYCC.

since there is an img post limit I will continue the last three here.
