Wizard wants it all? Apparently so. Interestingly, not a week after San Diego Comic-Con International, Wizard Entertainment (publishers of many comic and toy related publications) announced they will host a comic convention in the ATL (that’s Atlanta, GA for you who are in the dark). This is both good news and bad news.

Chada put it best when we showed up at 9:00 am (an hour before the show opened) to packed crowds, “This is insane!” And insane it was. Shoulder to shoulder as you moved throughout the convention center. Makes you wish a man could fly…
Today was a day filled with DVD, movie, and television related panels. We sat through many of them, and got a two for one to boot.The program printed by the comic convention folk is sometimes misleading and sometimes very unclear. Such was the case with this morning’s first panel on the new releases from Anchor Bay Entertainment. If you have followed my articles over the years, many of you know my weird fandom (obsession some may call it) with Charisma Carpenter. When I saw her name listed as appearing to discuss new DVD releases, I knew we had to be…
Yes, the headline says it all, the husband and wife duo of Stephen and Chada did win big today, but you’ll have to read on to find out how.
Chada and I went down to the convention center and signed in. Then we waited in line for THREE HOURS to get into preview night. While Chada was bored out of her mind (mainly because I forgot to bring the PSP with us), we were both glad we waited.

A great website for comic lovers I have oft proclaimed on these pages my love for comic books – especially those of the DC variety. While I enjoy an occasional Superman story in the pages of Batman or JLA, I don’t really read the Super titles that much. It is probably because Superman is always seen as a goody-goody and wins in the end. I came across this website a few weeks ago and it really shows Superman as quite the opposite. In fact, he comes off as a dick. http://www.superdickery.com/ Read, Laugh, Enjoy.
Able to leap home theatres in a single bound Over the last decade the superhero genre of movie and television shows has exploded.
