Thanks to SyFy and shows like Heroes of Cosplay what was once considered a quiet nerd hobby has exploded. If you were a cosplayer it used to be that you would have to travel great distances to attend a convention every weekend, now if you want to attend conventions you have to pick and choose which ones.

Norman Reedus has become a very popular actor and through his role as the beloved crossbow wielding redneck, Daryl Dixon, his career has skyrocketed.  AMC’s The Walking Dead, where Reedus has become one of the main characters, has become one of the biggest hits in television history.

PopCultHQ Interview: Erik Larsen, Takes on Spawn!

,

Erik Larsen and Todd McFarlane, two of the original “Image Seven” that changed the course of independent comics forever, are joining forces to take Spawn to a whole new level of awesomeness!  I have so much respect and admiration for what the Image 7 created with independent comics in 1992. Spawn and Savage Dragon being two of the original series with Image and each breaking the #250 landmarks. It is fantastic to see these two founding fathers working together, that it brings such joy to this 80/90’s comic book fan. It was fun to see Whilce (Portacio) do his run on Spawn, so now I’m even

The Empire Strikes Back – Chewbacca a Political Tragedy in Ukraine

Ukraine has had its share of troubles recently but has topped them all with arresting Chewbacca on the day of elections in Odessa! The beloved co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon was arrested Sunday by Ukrainian police while driving political candidate “Darth Vader” to a voting station. Sadly, this was considered a violation of the city’s electoral laws which forbid campaigning on the day of elections. He was arrested for not having a driver’s license and “malignant resistance to lawful requirements of a police officer.” [See video on The Ridiculist] How This All Got Started: the Internet Party of Ukraine has been adding Star Wars characters to the

Honest Reviews by: “Comic Book Historian” – DC Comics; Superman #45

Too Early for this shit (A morning rant) It’s a week late, I know but some things never grow old. DC has tainted an icon in one of the worst ways. Love him or hate him, Superman has an air about him which adds to his demeanor and personality and when one veers so far off course it becomes noticeable. Superman #45 Superman… is down in Oakland but it sure feels like Mexico… no lie… fighting metahuman Lucha Libre wrestlers for money and Tacos… seriously no lie! MONEY & TACOS… and apparently Big Blue is cheap, he’ll fight in the
