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 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.

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 [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/10/14/nycc-2011-preview-night-photo-gallery/feed/ 0 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/09/24/celebrating-75-years-of-jim-henson-with-archaia-comicss-tale-of-sand-and-google/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/09/24/celebrating-75-years-of-jim-henson-with-archaia-comicss-tale-of-sand-and-google/#comments Sat, 24 Sep 2011 04:35:52 +0000 Dave3 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/?p=112412

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.

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 [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/07/23/sddc-2011-photos-from-the-convention-floor-preview-night/feed/ 0
