In an interview with TV Guide Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff talks about writing comic books, and the debut of her first at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. “I grew up reading ‘Betty & Veronica,†she says. “I was obsessed with it. Every time that we would go on an airplane or on a car trip I would go and get them and now I’ve become a fan of just the genre in general. It really makes me excited. I’m a huge fan of [comics writer and television producer] Jeph Loeb. I’ve read all his work and I think…

Gareb Shamus has purchased yet another comic book convention; this time the New England Comic Con. This expands the Wizard World Comic Con. The complete press release is after the jump, and there’s plenty of room for the Legion of Spoilerites to voice their opinions.
Just in time for Halloween, Top Cow will be offering the Ron Marz/Matthew Dow Smith Albany Comic Con Witchblade #131 variant this weekend. Marz will be signing at the convention and talking to fans about what will happen next following the War of the Witchblades storyarc. Smith will also be attending the show to sign this cover for fans.
One of the Legion of Spoilerites attending the Armageddon Comic Con in New Zealand dropped us a quick note from one of the panels. The attendee told us that Greg Rucka let slip that Dennis O’Neil would be working with him on the Blackest Night: The Question issue. This news hasn’t been announced from DC yet, and the January solicitations don’t mention O’Neil anywhere in the issue info, so for now, we’ll say O’Neil is rumored to be working with Rucka until something more official is announced. Thanks for the head’s up Dan!
The 10th annual Baltimore Comic-Con took place October 10th and 11th at the Baltimore Convention Center in Maryland. This was my first year attending the show and also marked the first time I would be wearing my Supergirl outfit to a convention (my only other public appearance was at a grand opening of a comic store). I was also pretty excited about Major Spoilers “Spot the cosplayer†contest and wondered if anyone would recognize my boyfriend and I from the site.
This past weekend at the Baltimore Comic Con, attendees were challenged to find Major Spoilers’ own Victoria as she and her boyfriend Brian strolled through the convention center having fun.  Those who had their picture taken with the duo, and sent them to us, were entered into a chance to win an Atomic Robo statue. Yesterday, we collected the entries, and drew the name, with Paul Lombard coming out on top as the winner. Congratulations Paul! And thanks to everyone who entered the contest. For those who didn’t, there is still a chance for you to win even more prizes…

Comic Con International, the group behind the San Diego Comic-Con has announced it will be limiting the number of people able to get into the Wednesday evening Preview Night event. Because of the increasing number of attendees on Preview Night each year, we have decided to limit attendance for Preview Night in 2010. It is impossible to accommodate every person who registers for a four-day badge on Preview Night, so we made available four-day memberships with and without the Preview Night option. Currently, there are no more Preview Night badges available, but there are still four-day memberships still available. via…

Ahhh, conventions. The one place where comic fans, movie nuts, TV geeks, aspiring artists, cosplayers, actors, writers, pencilers, Warsians, Trekkies (Trekkers), Who…vians(?), Battlestar Galactites, and the 3 guys who remember Firefly (joking, of course) can all temporarily let down their “fanboy filters†and collectively geek out. For the past 5 years, I have made it a goal to attend my local convention of choice, Mid-Ohio Con. I have gone so far as to plan my entire year around this one magic weekend. This year seemed destined to be the best Con thus far. And you know what? It was. And…
