I’m trying to put together a con report but my head right now is having trouble stringing two consecutive thoughts together.  I’ll probably have something out tomorrow for Pop Syndicate and a more personal piece out on Tuesday either on the blog or out as a podcast but I wanted to quickly describe one scene [...]

From Publisher’s Weekly about this past weekend’s Wizard World Chicago:

I didn’t do much blogging today because there wasn’t much going on at Wizard World Chicago. I spend most of the day just wandering around, talking to friends and a few creators I know. I didn’t hit any panels but that isn’t a bad thing because it doesn’t look like there was any [...]

Most likely the blogging method of choice will be twitter tweets posted here. But, if for some reason, you want them delivered another way, [...]

from Cinematicals coverage of the con.”
Of all the news that I’ve seen from the con so far, the biggest joy has been the news of Marion Ravenwood’s return in Indiana Jones 4, and that’s been rumored for months, if not years. No one can argue that Raiders of the Lost arc isn’t the best [...]
