Our colleagues in chaos over at Dark Horse Comics were kind enough to give us an exclusive first look at two horrifically awesome covers from their upcoming Creepy comics! You can check them both out here below.

First up we’ve got Creepy Quarterly #8. This cover, which depicts one very unlucky individual’s encounter with a stake and some rope, was created by Richard Corben, whose work you’ll recognize from Creepy, Eerie, Hellboy, Jonah Hex, and most recently Men of War. The 48-page issue is set to hit the stands on April 4th, and features stories and art by Jeff Parker, Doug Moench, Rick Geary, Colleen Coover, Kelly Jones, and Richard Corben, as well as a throwback story from Bruce Jones and Bernie Wrightson!

The United Federation of Planet’s most famous science officer, Spock, took a moment to extend us all a very logical bit of goodwill for the holidays. I don’t know about you, but I plan on adopting this as my de facto greeting from this day onward [...]

I saw this Portal-themed Christmas tree in my Google+ stream posted by my friend (by way of G+) Eddie McBride.

I don’t know who the creator is, but I love it and had to share it with you all. If you’re the person made this, 1) great job! and 2) let us know who you are [...]

Nothing says Happy Holidays like a snowman massacre!

Bill Watterson fan’s will instantly recognize the scenes in the following video as being straight from the pages of his long-running comic series Calvin and Hobbes. Jim Frommeyer, along with Teague Chrystie (of the Down in Front podcast) put together this heart-warming “live-action” rendition of Watterson’s infamous ‘Snowman House of Horrors’ holiday strip [...]

Ahh, New York Comic-Con is here again. Or as I like to call it ‘OMG! I wanna buy everything I see. Please stop me! Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie noooowww!… What’s that smell?‘

Yes, it is indeed that time of the year and the GoDs and I are here covering this east coast comic geek mecca all weekend. Last night was preview night and Henchman21, MK2Fac3, and I were there on the Convention floor getting the lay of the land, picking up some choice items, and snapping a few pictures of the booths and anything that catches the eye.

I took a whole bunch of photos from Preview Night of cosplayers, booths, and cool items being offered up at the Con. Check them out here below [...]

To help celebrate the 75th anniversary of Jim Henson’s birth Archaia Entertainment debuted the first 20 pages of their upcoming graphic novel, Jim Henson’s Tale of Sand, which is based on a screenplay that was written by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl.

Archaia timed the preview to coincide with search giant Google’s own home page tribute to Jim Henson, which takes the form of [...]

After spending three straight days cooped up in the dark expanse of Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con covering all the upcoming movie goodness, I finally was able to hit the convention floor and meet with all the awesome Attendees-in -Tights who made their way to the mega-con Mecca.

Lemme tell you, this is one of my very favorite parts of the Con. I absolutely love walking up and down convention scoping out all the convention goers festooned their super finery and saying ‘Hi, do you mind if I take your photo for Geeks of Doom.’ The reactions vary anywhere from “Huh? Where? Sure!” and “Cool, I know you guys.” to “OMG!OMG!GEEKSOFDOOM!YES!YES!… O M GGGGeee!” Overall, everyone is always so gracious and cool.

I did my best to capture a wide array of the homespun heroes who packed the convention floor. The ingenuity and uninhibitedness of cosplayers never ceases to amaze me. Some of my favorites were the Witch-King from Lord of the Rings, a sweet old-school Cylon, a super low-rent Han Solo in Carbonite, who I met on the footbridge in town, and an awesome lady Loki. Special geek props to the Father/Daughter Jedi (heartwarming) and the Oogie Boogie and Sally (spiffy!) duos.

Ooo, and right as I was heading off the main convention floor for the last time I met a dude dressed in an amazing Hawkman outfit who as it turns out had also recently written and directed a five-minute short Hawkman film which you can find here.

Anyhoo… babes and dudes in leather, latex, cardboard, and shiny-shiny to follow after the jump. Enjoy! [...]

We GoDs took to the convention floor on Wednesday night at Comic-Con International 2011 here in San Diego, CA, for Preview night to check out the sights. Sadly, there weren’t too many cosplayers in attendance at the time, but there were a lot of cool signings and giveaways going on at every turn.

We ransacked the WB booth and came away with a haul of cool Harry Potter buttons; hit AMC’s Walking Dead booth and watched some brave convention goers willingly handcuff themselves to an Atlanta ‘rooftop’ alongside an eerily lifelike Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) statue; and stopped by the IDW booth to score a Comic-Con exclusive Locke & Key replica ‘Head’ key for our very own Henchman21 (who’s presence at here SDCC this year is sorely missed). We did stop by the Summit Entertainment booth, where each year we’ve been able to score some Twilight goodies for our readers, but just as we got to the line, they closed it down [...]

One of our awesome readers brought to my attention an upcoming geek-fueled fundraiser where participants will be playing video games to raise money for local Children’s hospitals. I can find no wrong in this and thought I’d pass it along to those like-minded individuals who’d appreciate this as much as I do.

Check out his email below [...]

Teen comedy, crime drama, intense horror, romance, and an animated kid’s film. I think I just heard Keanu say “Whoa!” The Studios are offering up a veritable potpourri of cinema this weekend. It feels like an oddity to me to see such degree of diversity at the box office, but I know it’s probably not. It’s just been a while and we’re not used to it.

This has been M. Night Shyamalan week at Doom HQ as we prepare for our Flix of Doom review of Devil, along with a discussion of Shyamalan’s body of work. So that’s where my geeky ass is going to be planted at the theater this weekend.

I wanna know what movie YOU are planning to see this weekend?

Check out your choices here below [...]

I can think of no better way to commemorate Labor Day weekend then by seeing a movie about an American on vacation in Italy being contracted to do someone’s dirty work; a Mexican on a mission in Arizona being contracted to do someone’s dirty work; or a long distance romantic comedy… about a couple being contracted to do someone’s dirty work (please let it be about that).

Well, I have no doubt what I’m going to be seeing this weekend. Here’s a hint: Tom Savini is in it. What about you?

The three big movies of the week are: The American, Going the Distance, and Machete [...]

Which movie will you go see this weekend?

You know how you can tell that summer is winding down, my lovely geeks and geekettes? By looking at the movie section in the newspaper (I can hear some “What’s that?” from the peanut gallery). All the summer movies have come, most have gone, and some have even made their way back into the theater.

And with Summer’s end comes the movie studio’s last ditch effort to grab at your few remaining dollars before we all wise up and decide we need the cash for our Na’vi Halloween costumes or the sure-to-be-made-available-for-Christmas Tron-themed X-Box 360.

So, have a look at what’s in theaters this weekend and let’s discuss, shall we? [...]
