I love Yaya Han’s costumes, and those who get to see her show off her craft are usually in for a treat. The model/costume designer is at the San Diego Comic-Con, and she’s showing off her new Catwoman costume.
Joining her in this shot is WindoftheStars, another super talented seamstress, who is wearing her Harley Quinn costume today.
Great job ladies!
In previous Marvel panels at the San Diego Comic Con, Robert Downey Jr. has only appeared via video, but today, during the Iron Man Kids Costume Contest, the actor appeared to the surprise of many.
Good on you Mr. Downey! Let’s hope the media that were there allowed the kids to have their moment of awesome memory before they crushed them in the rush to get a quote and a shot.

Quentin Tarantino crashed the Before Watchmen panel today to announce that DC Comics will take the entire first draft of Django Unchained and turn it into a five issue series that arrives in November.
“Django Unchained takes the movie’s story and tells it as a comic book,” said Tarantino, “with story aspects that aren’t in the movie. The comic will literally be the entire movie’s script.”
And what is the big secret Tarantino hides in the tale?
Didn’t think we would be able to see the Firefly panel until November when the Science Channel airs it. Looks like Things From Another World received permission to record and post the panel for all to enjoy, so enjoy it now.

I don’t think the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have ever had a time when there wasn’t an audience for their hijinks. So it makes sense that Nickelodeon would bring the characters back for a new series.
Take the jump for a look at the footage that premiered at the San Diego Comic Con.

Image Comics and Top Cow Productions are thrilled to announce the next evolution of PILOT SEASON, the annual original comics’ competition.

Most of us expected Peter Jackson to roll into San Diego and present a highlight reel from The Hobbit in full 48fps. Turns out those who sit through the presentation at Comic-Con are only going to see it in 24fps.
When we screened only the 48fps reel at CinemaCon a few months ago, some bloggers focussed stories, not on the content, but on their negative reaction to 10 minutes of high frame rate footage. This reaction convinced me that the only fair way to experience 48fps, is to sit down and watch a complete feature length movie, with a narrative, not quick trailer cuts.
There you go – You have to see the whole movie to appreciate the experience when The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arrives in theaters on December 14, 2012.
In a surprise to many, Top Cow has announced it is turning to Kickstarter to fund the return of Cyber Force.
That concept for funding a series sounds very familiar…
