San Diego Comic-Con. Those four words evoke some strong emotions for us geeky and nerdy folks. It could be many hours that we’ve spent queuing in line for a Hall H panel. Or perhaps that fruitless quest to secure the perfect hotel room… or a simple sandwich. But it also makes us think about the fun we have with friends and the cool reveals that the convention always brings us. Just when we thought San Diego Comic-Con couldn’t take things to a new level, the convention is taking its show to the seas instead. Yes, you read that right. As we learned via The Hollywood Reporter, there will be a San Diego Comic-Con cruise coming in 2025.

San Diego Comic Convention (the con’s parent company) and Entertainment Cruise Productions (ECP) are teaming up for Comic-Con: The Cruise. A ship full of wonderfully weird people will go from Tampa, FL to Cozumel, Mexico on the Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas. (In case you are wondering, that ship holds a little over 2400 people.) The cruise will take place from February 5-9 in 2025. ECP isn’t new to cranking out cruises of this variety. The company previously did a Star Trek cruise experience. 

Comic-Con: The Cruise will give fans a chance to meet actors, creators, and more during special events and other activities. Typical cruise activities like trivia sessions and tastings will be available as well as theme night parties and tabletop gaming. The Comic-Con cruise will have vendors, Q&A sessions, meet and greets, group panels, and so much more. Now, here’s the part that everyone wants to know. How much does the Comic-Con cruise cost? Rates start at $990 per person for a double occupancy room. If you want to take your convention experiences to the high seas, head over to the cruise’s website for more information! Good luck, nerdy friends.

The post BLACK ADAM & SHAZAM 2 Footage Revealed at Comic-Con (Nerdist News w/ Maude Garrett) appeared first on Nerdist.

Though it’s easy to get excited about San Diego Comic-Con’s massive Hall H panels and big studio announcements, there are plenty of other amazing offerings too. In the last decade, more and more “science of” and other educational panels crept into the pop culture convention scene. Here are the 10 San Diego Comic-Con panels I’m most excited about from a science perspective.

Bonus Science Event: No Comic Con Badge Required

There’s a science-oriented event at the Comic-Con Museum that is open to the public! You don’t need a San Diego Comic-Con badge to attend the STEAM Fair at San Diego Comic-Con Museum. From 10 am until 2 pm Thursday through Sunday, female scientists from the IF/THEN ambassador program will host mini panels and science activities. Video game designer and scientist Dr. Beata Mierzwa will also show off her game Microscopya. 

San Diego Comic-Con Science Panels

Futurists 

The IF/THEN ambassadors are also part of multiple panels at Comic-Con. In this one, six women scientists will “discuss the merger of popular arts and real STEM to see what has already made the leap from imagination to reality and what waits just over the horizon.” Their expertise covers everything from cell biology to rocket science. And we know these kickass women will bring their enthusiasm to share science with everyone to every answer.

The End is Nye with Bill Nye

Bill Nye has the nostalgia factor for those of us lucky enough to spend our childhood afternoons watching Bill Nye the Science Guy. But he’s also got a new show coming up and is there to chat about the Peacock series The End is Nye. It’s billed as a science disaster show. The show’s description shares, “Sprinkled with Seth MacFarlane’s signature humor, this timely series explores end-of-the-world scenarios with Bill Nye at the center of it all.” I can’t wait!

The Science Behind The Expanse 

San Diego’s local science museum, the Fleet Science Center, has a rocket scientist, astrophysicist, and a human rights statistician to chat about the dystopian space saga. The Expanse struck me as one of the more realistic versions of our future, what with “murder, society at the brink of war/civil unrest, a conspiracy and dangerous alien technology that could wipe out everyone.” The Fleet is also hosting “The Science of Spider-Man and the Multiverse” and “The Science Behind Board Games.” 

The Science of Jurassic World 

What could be better than paleontologists, geneticists, and a conservation biologist entertainingly debunking the mantra “life finds a way?” It promises “scientists who are fans of the franchise explore the real-world science of bringing dinosaurs back to life and letting them loose.” It also includes some behind-the-scenes insight from Stuart Sumida, a technical consultant for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Camp Cretaceous. 

Hollyweird Science: Putting Hollywood into Science

This panel features scientists as well as writers and science advisors for some excellent shows like Eureka and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It reverses things a bit, focusing “on the need for narrative when sharing science. Rather than exploring science in Hollywood, they’ll explore putting some Hollywood into science.” I’m particularly excited to hear from Dr. Erin Macdonald, who consults on all the current Star Trek shows! She’s doing a few panels over the course of the con based on her astrophysics expertise, including “Science of Godzilla Singular Point.”

NASA San Diego Comic-Con Panels

NASA has had a presence at SDCC for years, with a booth, photo ops, and increasingly more panels. One I’m particularly excited about this year is “Artemis: Dawn of a New Space Age.” NASA astronauts and its first female flight director talk about the new Moon landing program. I’m so excited to see one in my lifetime, much less in the next few years! If deep space is your jam, there’s also “NASA and the Wonders of the Webb Telescope.” NASA astrophysicists and astronomers will provide more background on the stunning first images we recently saw. And how the telescope will “help humanity better understand the universe and distant exoplanetary worlds.”

From Sci-fi Imaginary to Tech Reality: The New Science of Holograms

Rather than focusing on just one franchise, this one delves into hologram technology across pop culture properties like the MCU and Star Wars. And in real life, of course, like video conferencing and that Tupac concert. Find out whether science influenced science fiction or vice versa with expertise from both academia and industry.

Bad Medicine in TV and Film

The team behind one of my favorite podcasts, Hi Everybody!, is a Comic-Con staple. Medical doctors rate the accuracy of on-screen medical jargon and situations. It’s usually full of glaring mistakes, but there are always a few unexpected successes mixed in. Since apparently the movie The Human Centipede billed itself as 100% accurate, they use that as a scale. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

The Transformational Power of a Comics and Social Justice Curriculum

One of the multiple panels dealing with lesson plans that involve graphic novels, this one covers San Diego State University’s curriculum. As part of their art and library collections, this local college has a huge number of comics. But their Comics @ SDSU program also pursues social justice causes using examples from comics. Educators are working on courses including “ChicanX comics, Native Americans in comics, African Americans in comics, the visual rhetoric of comics, comics for teachers, and more.”

More Science in Your Fiction with Extraordinary Scientists and Engineers 

What do a viral ecologist, extremophile expert, and a marine biologist have in common? Their excitement to tell you about their science projects! And, of course, about the pop culture that they love and how it’s all connected. It’s a fun and diverse group of geeks, some from the local Scripps Institution of Oceanography, talking kid-friendly science and engineering topics.

Science at SDCC

The full panel descriptions and time/location information are available in each link. Even though the online programming schedule’s interface is a bit difficult to navigate, if you’re looking for more panels like this, I recommend searching terms like “STEM,” “science,” or “NASA.” You can also filter it to the “Education” or “Technology – Science – STEM” tags. 

And if you want to see me at Comic-Con, I’ll be moderating two panels. “The Mandalorian: Under the Helmet” includes panelists who are experts in the many aspects that make Mando who he is, including a real-life bounty hunter, blacksmith, and pilot. I’m also taking over for Amy Ratcliffe as moderator of the “Costumes of Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Come say hi! 

Melissa is Nerdist’s science & technology staff writer. She also moderates “science of” panels at conventions and co-hosts Star Warsologies, a podcast about science and Star Wars. Follow her on Twitter @melissatruth.

This year’s San Diego Comic-Con, much like last year’s, will be an all-digital affair. Although the threat of COVID-19 has been minimized since the summer of 2020, the threat of infection is hardly eradicated. Thus, Comic-Con International is playing it safe and containing its pop culture celebration to the web. It’d be silly to pretend that this doesn’t take some of the fun out of the equation. But Comic-Con@Home ‘21 still boasts a few things that may be worth looking forward to. On Thursday morning, Amazon Prime Video and IMDb TV announced which titles they’ll bring to the virtual event later this month. Topping the list are The Wheel of Time and the final Neon Genesis Evangelion movie.

Amazon Prime

On July 23, the streaming platforms under the Amazon umbrella will courier their upcoming titles to Comic-Con@Home. Television personality Tim Kash will host a continuous panel featuring the casts and producers of the following projects: The Wheel of Time; I Know What You Did Last Summer; Leverage: Redemption; EVANGELION: 3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME; and S.O.Z. Soldiers or Zombies. The panel will broadcast via the Comic-Con International YouTube Channel at 11 AM PT that morning.

As of yet, Amazon has not unveiled a comprehensive list of talent for any panels. However, we know that the following names will be on hand for the virtual Con: Rafe Judkins, showrunner for The Wheel of Time; Hideaki Anno, chief director on the Neon Genesis Evangelion series and the EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME film; Sara Goodman, I Know What You Did Last Summer series producer; Noah Wyle and Beth Riesgraf, the stars of Leverage: Redemption; and Nico Entel, producer for S.O.Z. Soldiers or Zombies.

Toho/Toei Company Ltd/Amazon Prime

As for when we’ll get to see many of these projects, that’s another question. The first batch of Leverage: Redemption episodes will hit IMDB TV on July 9; and EVANGELION: 3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME will hit Amazon Prime on August 13. As for The Wheel of Time and I Know What You Did Last Summer, we’re hoping to get an eyeful sometime in 2021. Perhaps the panel will have more details on that!

WonderCon 2020 was among the first string of major events in the entertainment world preempted by the then-young COVID-19 pandemic. We’re approaching the one-year mark from when the pandemic first took hold of life in the United States; while the distribution of vaccines prompts hope, events like WonderCon remain unable to reopen in standard fashion. In step with last year’s protocol, 2021 WonderCon will operate in a strictly virtual capacity.

Though this might ring as an unsurprising decision, it represents a change of Comic-Con International’s original plans for WonderCon 2021. The organization had initially teased an in-person convention, set per recent tradition at the Anaheim Convention Center; these plans scheduled the con to run between March 26 and March 28.

Comic-Con International

However, on Thursday, Comic-Con International, announced the cancelation of the in-person event—news we caught via IGN. In lieu of the usual format, WonderCon will take virtual form, much as it did in 2020. The event will operate on March 26 and March 27. As part of its announcement on the matter, CCI noted the financial constraints it has faced thanks to COVID-19:

“Our commitment to the community of fans who enjoy WonderCon and the celebration of comics and related popular art remains an important part of who we are. It is because of that dedication that we are happy to announce that WonderCon will again be held as the virtual WonderCon@Home. The challenges of this past year and the postponement of our two largest events have left us with limited financial resources, therefore WonderCon@Home will be a two-day celebration instead of the usual three days as we continue to marshal our resources for Comic-Con this summer.”

A formal lineup for the event has yet to reveal; however, CCI added, “We are currently in the process of lining up great programming, amazing exhibitors, terrific gaming, and all of the many aspects that make WonderCon a fan-favorite event.” Further information will no doubt go public before long.

With summer approaching and concerns over the coronavirus growing, several public events have already been impacted. While it is still months away, many fans might be wondering if or how this year’s San Diego Comic-Con could be effected. Luckily Dan is here to offer a few tips and guidelines to having a fun and safe convention season on today’s episode of Nerdist News!

Looking for a new fantasy show to fill the Game of Thrones sized void in your life? Well Amazon has you covered as they offer fans their first look at their new fantasy drama, Carnival Row! Set in a Victorian era world where humans and magical creatures co-exist, the series looks to be a worthy successor to the iron throne. Amy Vorpahl breaks down all the info in today’s Nerdist News!

Alright, let’s do this one last time. For the fifth straight year, Conan O’Brien is bringing his late night show to the pop culture event of the year, San Diego Comic-Con. That’s not the kind of thing just any old talk host can handle. Between the adoring fans, chaotic schedule, and the many celebrities in attendance, you need a super human effort to keep things running smoothly, all while being (somewhat) entertaining. Now we know how Conan manages to do it every year: he really is super human. Kinda.

He was bitten by a radioactive party clown at age 15, and while he could have used his superpowers to fight evil and protect the innocent, instead he decided to chitchat with actors for cheap laughs. His less-than-impressive origin story kicked off the start of this year’s “Conan Con,” when he he got his very own Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse-style animated intro. It proves that while anyone can wear the mask, it’s probably better if Conan is the only one with his hair.

Andy Richter as Kingpin is what the Italian chef kiss was invented for, but this entire short video is superb. While we are here, now and forever, for a self-deprecating Conan bit, we will also accept any and all Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse parody videos for the rest of eternity. We’re probably going to get them, too. The movie’s look and style stands out from anything else we’ve ever seen from both animated and superhero films, making it a perfect format for tributes and spoofs.

Though we’re sure not all of them will be as legitimately funny as this one. Sure, anyone can wear the mask, but unlike Conan Denise O’Brien, not everyone was bitten by a radioactive party clown and then chose to use his powers for dumb.

The post Amazon Prime Video Is Bringing THE BOYS, THE EXPANSE, and More to SDCC 2019! appeared first on Nerdist.

Some things can only happen at San Diego Comic-Con—the best cosplay, movie stars dressed as Toadette, a mystery illness born of a hundred thousand tired nerds—and that’s what makes the event so magical.

For just a few days every year, the city’s streets are lined with oddities and wonders you can’t get anywhere else. Case-in-point: If you happened to find yourself in a certain art gallery on the right day and time, you would have been smack in the middle of a neighborhood of Studio Ghibli’s iconic Totoros, complete with master maker and MythBuster Adam Savage.

The Saturday morning of SDCC, 11 Totoro cosplayers and their families waddled their way over to the Nerdist House in the blistering California heat. They made the trek not only to meet and greet each other, but to geek out with the man who inspired their costumes in the first place. It was Adam Savage’s New York Comic-Con Totoro cosplay that got them interested in the outfit. In the video above, they share all the nerdy details.

Each of the costumes were wonderfully unique, and Savage fawned over the lot, noting how each cosplayer made their own modifications and additions to his original design. And don’t let the simplicity of the exterior fool you—inside the larger outfits were electric fans, tubes for water, PVC pipe scaffolding, and display monitors linked to exterior GoPro cameras.

What do you think? Did the builders do Savage proud? How awesome was the Chewbacca Totoro? Let us know in the comments below!

My fear of the Con Plague aside, this year’s San Diego Comic-Con was full of amazing cosplay, thrilling panels and, of course, blockbuster trailer reveals.

From giant production studios to small independent darlings, it seemed everyone had something to show to the eager fans in attendance and around the world. If you happened to get a bit lost in all of the excitement surrounding everything Comic-Con, fear not—we’ve rounded up the biggest and baddest trailers in movies and TV you might’ve missed:

Movies

Aquaman

The long-awaited trailer for Aquaman finally dropped and Hoo Boy! Jason Momoa seems to be having a lot fun with this one. There’s an astonishing glimpse at Atlantis, Momoa opening big ol’ cans of whoop-ass, and Amber Heard looking like a live-action Little Mermaid. If there ever was a good time, this seems to be it. Aquaman splashes into theaters Dec. 21.

[brightcove video_id=”5812194331001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”rJs2ZD8x”]

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Still no sign of Dumbledore and Grindelwald getting it on, but this trailer does tease some exciting new characters and creatures to look forward to. As always, I’m still hesitant about the future of this purportedly five-film franchise, but they do seem to be nailing the texture of the Harry Potter-verse. Every trailer draws me back into the Wizarding World and gets me pumped to wave a magical stick around one more time. Only time will tell if J.K. Rowling really can keep the magic alive with Eddie Redmayne’s duckface. The Fantastic Beasts sequel apparates into theaters Nov. 16.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Speaking of Fantastic Beasts, ERMAHGERD MOTHRA LOOKS DOPE!!! I have no fancy language or snappy lines to describe this trailer; just watch it and enjoy its grand spectacle. If anyone needs me, I’ll be playing with my toy Godzilla in an abandoned Toys ‘R’ Us parking lot because some kids never grow up. Godzilla: King of the Monsters stomps into theaters May 31, 2019.
[brightcove video_id=”5812153244001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”rJs2ZD8x”]

Glass

The follow-up to the film that made me endlessly debate the semantics of a spoiler, Glass looks to be another thrilling addition to M. Night Shymalan’s oeuvre. A smaller cinematic universe than most, Glass unites characters from Unbreakable and Split for a fun crossover episode akin to The Avengers or That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana. I wouldn’t say this is my favorite trailer with a beast in it, but still I’m very excited to see more Patricia. Audiences can look at Glass Jan. 18, 2019.
[brightcove video_id=”5812125366001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”rJs2ZD8x”]

SHAZAM!

Warner Bros. seems to have the knack for hiring horror directors to make lighthearted superhero romps. Bursting in with the same explosiveness and silliness of Aquaman, SHAZAM! is a complete 180° from DC’s previous dour and drab superhero films. Serving mostly as a mini origin story to the character of Shazam himself, the trailer is a sweet sugar rush that transports one back in time to when the only thing you wanted to be in life was a superhero. SHAZAM! flies into theaters April 5, 2019.
[brightcove video_id=”5812211602001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”rJs2ZD8x”]

Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus

On the even goofier side the long-awaited return for so many Nickelodeon-raised kids’ to the world of Invader Zim, in the form this time around of the small-screen movie Enter the Florpus, which does not yet have a broadcast date. And speaking of the small screen…

TV

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

What was supposed to be just a celebration of Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ 10th anniversary turned into a shocking declaration of the show’s return. After the series’ abrupt cancelation following Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm, fans have been hoping for a fitting resolution to beloved characters and stories unfinished. “A war left unfinished” the trailer exclaims, “…until now.” Jedi Masters and padawans alike can rejoin The Clone Wars in fall of 2019 on Disney’s new streaming service.
[brightcove video_id=”5811791463001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”rJs2ZD8x”]

Doctor Who

As if having a new doctor wasn’t enough, the first trailer for the upcoming 13th season of Doctor Who promises a new everything. From new characters to completely new adventures, this trailer appears to be targeted towards attracting people unfamiliar with the franchise (like moi). I honestly know nothing about Doctor Who other than the fact that an apple a day should keep her away, but if nothing else this trailer looks lively and entertaining. The doctor is in as of fall of 2018.
[brightcove video_id=”5811419785001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”rJs2ZD8x”]

Better Call Saul

You would think after three seasons, someone would finally call Saul. But nope. Here we go again for season four. The spinoff series based on Breaking Bad, Better Caul Saul is back for another season full of high-stakes drama. As Jimmy McGill falls deeper and deeper into the drug underworld, he comes ever closer to emodying the titular persona of Saul Goodman. Based on the trailer, the connections between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul seem to be stronger than ever. Call your mom first, and then call Saul on August 9 on AMC.

Titans

F*** Batman! This Hot Topic hot take on Robin and the gang is exceptionally grim and gritty, in case Aquaman and SHAZAM! being so cheery and carefree isn’t your speed. There’s no exact release date yet for the show but come sometime next year you will remember the Titans.

Star Trek: Discovery

To infinity and beyond! Backed by the power guitar of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away,” the trailer for season two of Star Trek: Discovery introduces a new captain to the crew and hints at the return of familiar friend. Yet again, the series looks like a full-fledged film rather than a TV series, and season two seems to be another action-packed thrill ride! Continue to discover the final frontier all over again early 2019.

Castle Rock

If you’re in the market for creepiness, the Stephen King-inspired and -produced series Castle Rock looks to foot the bill. The best news of all: the series drops on Hulu on July 25!

Disenchantment

Next, we’ve got the latest animated venture from Matt Groening: the Medieval-set Disenchantment, which drops on Netflix on Aug. 17.

Nightflyers

And finally, we may still be waiting on The Winds of Winter (and may have quite a while before the final season of Game of Thrones hits HBO), but in the meantime, we have Nightflyers to satisfy our cravings for the creativity of George R.R. Martin. The series hits Netflix sometime this fall.

No matter how many times you attend Comic-Con, you’ll always be amazed by just how many people you spot cosplaying during any given fest.

Whether you’re on the floor, outside the convention center, or walking around San Diego, everywhere you turn you’re bound to come across amazing costumes paying homage to characters from all kinds of media. You could spend all four days of the event solely seeking out the greatest get-ups and still only see a fraction of them. But just because we couldn’t see every costume doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the best of what we did spot. So here are just a few—from the complex to the simple, from the obvious to the obscure, from the hilarious to the strangely touching—of the best pieces of cosplay from San Diego Comic-Con 2018.

The world always needs new hope, which is exactly what this year’s Comic-Con delivered when seven young fans were flown out to San Diego to have their wheelchairs transformed into amazing cosplay from the Star Wars galaxy.

The nonprofit organization Magic Wheelchair, which “builds epic costumes for kiddos in wheelchairs at no cost to families,” raised $25,000 on Kickstarter to bring seven Star Wars fans from around the country to the event. Their all-star team of designers–including Adam Savage and the Tested team, Tom Spina Designs, Fon Davis and Fonco Studios, Michael McMaster and Echo Base, Gordon Tarpley, Pixologic, Monster City Studios, Dangling Carrot, Massivit 3D, and Sean Fields and Project 842–built those fans incredible (and we mean incredible) custom costumes for their wheelchairs.

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing today was. Thank you to all of the incredible builders who made these kids’ @starwars dreams come true! I could not be more thrilled to have been a small part of something so special. @gordontarpley @mcmaster_robots @magicwheelchair @fonhdavis @oneeyedjedi @monstercitystudios @danglingcarrotcreative —– go to MagicWheelchair.org and support them today!!

A post shared by Tom Spina Designs (@tomspinadesigns) on Jul 21, 2018 at 9:01pm PDT

The designs included a massive rancor, Rey on Ahch-To (with screaming porgs!), Anakin’s starfighter, an X-wing, Kylo Ren’s TIE fighter, a boga that looks like it’s alive, and a Destroyer droid.

To say that everything about this is incredible is an understatement, and yet it gets even better. After all of the costumes were completed, the kids got to have their very own parade outside of the convention center.

No, you’re crying! Also, I am crying. In fact, if you see someone watch this, and they don’t cry, you might have a Sith on your hands. But we’re not worried about being drawn to the dark side today because these kids have given the world too much hope.

Ashley Eckstein and the team from Her Universe and Our Universe once again descended upon San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) to deliver the Her Universe Fashion Show. The vibrant display has been one of the most highly anticipated events at SDCC since the first year fangirl fashion rocked the runway five years ago.

Every year of the show has been bigger and better than the last, and this year was no exception. In addition to showing us some of the amazing new stuff coming from Her Universe, 24 amazing, creative designers rocked the runway with some truly original and swoon-worthy geek couture designs, drawing inspiration from books, movies, TV, and comics that we all love. Of those 24 designers, three were picked as the ultimate winners and will be teaming up with Eckstein, Her Universe, and Loungefly to create a Marvel’s Avengers 4 collection exclusively for Hot Topic.

The Audience Winner was Kristi Siedow-Thompson, who brought down the house with her outstanding design inspired by Ripley in the power loader from Aliens.

Cynthia Kirklan was the Judges Winner for her breathtaking design inspired by The Shape of Water.

Last but not least, Jane Burson was crowned the Singer Winner for her piece based on Howl’s Moving Castle.

Of course, those three designs (while fantastic) were only a small part of the show. Continuing her tradition, Eckstein wowed the audience by once again walking the runway in a one-of-a-kind gown designed by 2013 Her Universe Fashion Show winner Andrew MacLaine. This year, in honor of The Nightmare Before Christmas‘s 25th anniversary, Eckstein wore a gown that was made up of 500 Jack Skellington Funko Pop! heads that collectively weighed a whopping 40 pounds.

The show also had some impressive appearances. Naturally, some of Eckstein’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars cast members show up to celebrate the new Clone Wars line from Her Universe and Our Universe (and, of course, to celebrate the fact that Clone Wars is BACK).

And, in a truly out-of-this world surprise, the show was also blessed with a visit from the Thirteenth Doctor–Jodie Whittaker herself–to model the new Her Universe Doctor Who line.

It was an epic night in fandom fashion, and we can’t wait to see the amazing designs the winners create to celebrate Avengers 4. We’re already counting down the days for SDCC 2019 and the next Her Universe Fashion Show!

You can check out more pics of the winners’ designs as well as some of the other amazing pieces from the show in the gallery below. Let us know which ones were your favorites in the comments!

Every year San Diego Comic-Con offers a cornucopia of incredibly talented and dedicated cosplayers for attendees to marvel at, but it’s not just fans who get in on the fun. Celebrities have been known to show up incognito on the exhibition floor, although some are far more open about their love for costuming, like Ezra Miller, who showed up for his third straight Con in an amazing get-up. And this year was his best–and also his sexiest–as he appeared as a very adult Toadette.

While most of the cast of the upcoming Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald  showed up for the film’s Hall H panel dressed in normal clothes (save for a surprise/disappointing appearance of Johnny Depp in costume as his character, the dark wizard Grindelwald), Miller appeared on stage in front of thousands of fans as Toadette from Super Mario Bros. That alone would make for one of our favorite costumes in San Diego this year, because Toadette is definitely on the more obscure side. But it’s even more exciting because he upped his getup considerably. Instead of including Toadette’s pink dress, he wore a mushroom head with her pink vest (we imagine the real Toadette has slightly less chest hair), a scarf with pink balls, and pink fishnet stockings.

Told you. World’s sexiest Toadette.

Miller has a history of doing this at Comic-Con, though he’s covered up far more before. Last year he showed up as Full Metal Alchemist‘s Edward Elric.

Arthur Curry didn’t skip San Diego Comic-Con! Warner Bros. took over Hall H on Saturday morning of the convention and dropped the first trailer for James Wan’s upcoming Aquaman starring Jason Momoa as the Atlantean superhero.

Take a look:

It’s what we’ve all been waiting for. Shirtless Jason Momoa and all kinds of sea creatures. Amber Heard as Mera looking like a regal, beautiful mermaid. And James Wan staple Patrick Wilson as the villainous Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother, whose three-pronged trident and slicked blond hair lend him a menacing allure.

The trailer also gives us a peek at Curry’s origin story, showing how his unique backstory – as the son of a mortal father (Temuera Morrison) and sea queen Atlanta (Nicole Kidman) – both holds him back and gives him an important role in an impending war between humans and undersea folk. As Mera tells him, “You think you’re unworthy to lead because you’re of two different worlds, but that is exactly why you are worthy.”

The visuals of the underwater civilization of Atlantis bring to mind the elvish worlds of Lord of the Rings, with its sleek colors and hidden-world locale. But apart from the epic scale, the trailer is also light in tone and heavy on humor. It doesn’t look like Arthur Curry will be a bore to spend time with, and the pulpiness of the action scenes make Aquaman look like a whole lot of fun.

Lucky Hall H attendees were also treated to extended footage, including a better look at Arthur and Mera discovering Atlantis, a look at Black Manta, and a moment (possibly a flashback) where Kidman’s Atlanta fights with a trident. That footage was in-room only, so we’ll have to wait until Aquaman hits theaters December 21 before we can see for ourselves.

What do you think of the new trailer for Aquaman? Do you think Jason Momoa is right for the role? Sound off below!

Kelly Sue DeConnick is nothing less than a force of nature. Whether she is breaking boundaries with Bitch Planet or reimagining Captain Marvel for an entirely new generation, she is one of the most exciting and beloved voices in comics. Well, at the DC publishers breakfast this morning at San Diego Comic Con, Jim Lee and Dan Didio let slip that Kelly Sue would be the next writer to take on the ongoing undersea world of Aquaman alongside artist Robson Rocha!

It’s unfortunately rare that a woman gets to write a male superhero book, so this is a bold move for DC, though it’s also an incredibly smart one! Kelly Sue was the architect behind Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel, and that has shaped the face of not only the comics but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From what Lee and Didio shared, it sounds like Kelly Sue will be exploring the character and expanding on his mythology as well as examining him; Lee even brought up Batman Year One and Daredevil Born Again. Lee hinted that it will be a deep dive into Arthur Curry, who will be dealing with his abandonment issues, and might even come across some other mythical sea gods along the way…

We cannot wait to see what Kelly Sue DeConnick and the fantastic artist Robson Rocha are going to bring to the expansive lore of DC’s Atlantis, Aquaman and the wider DCU! Will you be picking this cool comic up? Let us know below!

If you’re as excited for the new season of Doctor Who as we are, you’ll need all the info from the show’s panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and we’ll have it all for you.

But to hold you over in the meantime we have something just as exciting: the first trailer. (Time) Lord knows it was time for our first female Doctor, and things aren’t just new for us—they’re new for her as well.

In this first, thumping teaser for the upcoming season, the Thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodi Whittaker, wakes up to “new faces, new worlds, new times,” and she looking for some “new best friends” (played by Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill, and Tosin Cole) to travel through space and time with her, all while having some fun.

While we can’t wait to see where (and when) we’ll be going next year, we can’t try and decipher what the season story might be from this teaser because it won’t actually have one. According to a press conference before the panel, the new season of Doctor Who won’t feature any returning villains, monsters, aliens, or allies. Everything is new and different, and BBC’s long-running show is really hitting the idea of getting in new viewers without 55 years of continuity. That includes from episode to episode, because this new season the show will have ten standalone episodes (not a single two-parter), along with an eleventh Christmas special that is also confirmed.

The (very) new season of Doctor Who  will take a TARDIS to BBC and BBC America later this fall.

That big, manly demon looks so grizzled and worn, it’s easy to forget Hellboy‘s actually only in his mid-20s. Having just come back from the other side, he’s about to traverse one more milestone in the journey of life, death and rebirth—his 25th birthday. Yes, Mike Mignola‘s infamous offbeat hero debuted back in 1993. And he’s not nearly done fighting. We’re excited to exclusively announce, along with Geek & Sundry, three brand new Mignolaverse titles.

The Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense’s most famous agent was first introduced to readers several months prior, through a black and white short in the second edition of San Diego Comic-Con Comics. Now, as he reaches quarter-life, Hellboy and the diverse entourage of creators and creatures who’ve amassed around him over the years celebrate that comic’s anniversary by returning to where the proverbial big bang of the “Mignolaverse” first ignited. And they’re returning just in time for a three-pronged expansion of that realm, no less.

The Boy is back at Comic-Con as a Special Guest this year. He’s taking spotlight on the cover of the convention’s 2018 Souvenir Book, which comes with a reprint of the four-pager wherein he made his fateful debut.

And back to those three new titles. One follows a hitherto-classified Cold War cover-up Hellboy got entangled by in the 50s. Another reveals the global chaos that unfurled after Crimson Lotus (the villainess who bedeviled the Boy’s pulp predecessor, Lobster Johnson) took sweet vengeance upon the war dogs who wronged her. And the third is an annual offering three one-off featuring the aforementioned Mr. Johnson, the BPRD, and Hellboy in a holiday gone wrong. Full details on all these books below, along with an exclusive look at the covers.

CRIMSON LOTUS

Mike Mignola (W), John Arcudi (W), Mindy Lee (A), Michelle Madsen (C), Tonci Zonjic (Cover)
Before she became Lobster Johnson’s biggest foe, the Crimson Lotus was a young girl whose family was caught up in the Russo-Japanese war. Thirty years later, the Lotus exacts her revenge with terrifying international ramifications, and two spies must try to chase her through China before they become flies in her web. Issue #1: 11/21

HELLBOY AND THE BPRD: 1956

Mike Mignola (W), Chris Roberson (W), Yishan Li (A), Mike Norton (A), Michael Avon Oeming (A), Dave Stewart (C), Dave Johnson (Cover)
Pressure is mounting within the bureau to uncover the Soviets’ secret plans, but a suspicious cover-up leads one agent off the radar in search of answers. Meanwhile, demonic Soviet occult leader Varvara pushes her team to follow her own whims, and Hellboy is sent on the mission that would lead to his infamous misadventures in Mexico. But even more clandestine plots are at work—both inside the B.P.R.D. and out. Three different storylines are interwoven in this espionage saga. Issue #1: 11/28

HELLBOY WINTER SPECIAL 2018

Mike Mignola (W/Cover), Fábio Moon (W/A/variant cover), Gabriel Bá (W/A/Variant cover), Tonci Zonjic (W/A/C), Ben Stenbeck (A), Dave Stewart (C)
Three wintery tales featuring a Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck team-up about a New Year’s Eve séance gone wrong when Hellboy visits a family’s English home, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá revisit B.P.R.D.: Vampire with a new tie-in story, and Tonci Zonjic returns to write and draw Lobster Johnson. On sale: 12/12

Last December, we ended the debate once and for all—Die Hard is a Christmas movie. After all, it’s a story about the season’s classic themes: family, the perils of greed, and the greatest gift of all… killing your enemies. That’s why later this year, 20th Century Fox will honor the beloved action film’s 30th anniversary with a special holiday-themed Blu-ray release.

And for anyone in attendance at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, it will truly be Christmas in July. Not only will they they be the first fans who get to order it, they’ll also get to unwrap special holiday cards featuring our favorite characters, quotes, and moments from the movie. And we have your exclusive first look at the whole package.

Only fans at Comic-Con who stop by Fox’s booth (#4229) and pre-order the upcoming special Die Hard 30th Anniversary Holiday Blu-ray, decorated like a festive Christmas sweater, will also be gifted postcards from the movie that pay tribute to the most wonderful time of the year. Granted, they might ruin your holiday spirit, because you won’t want to give them away.

But if you do feel like being generous this December, they include the perfect message for your favorite cowboy.

There are also two options if you’d like to let your employees know the Nakatomi Corporation is thinking of them this year. They feature perfect touches for any true Die Hard diehard.

If you’re looking for something a little more traditional, you can always go with a classic glass ornament decoration, which shows our favorite barefoot cop swinging by for Christmas dinner.

Even if you don’t pre-order the Blu-ray (which hits stores on Sept. 25) you’ll get a card featuring the film’s best quote just for stopping by the booth.

Die Hard might not be the most traditional holiday film, but it still captures the spirit of the season, and that’s why it deserves its very own yuletide cards. Nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like “Yippee Ki Yay.”

Which one of these cards would you want to get in the mail this Christmas? Gift us your answer in the comments below.

When you attend San Diego Comic-Con you get to see some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, watch the world premiere of trailers, movies, and TV shows, and be the first to learn about the future in pop culture.

But for many, the best part about being there is getting the opportunity to get some great new swag that can only be found at the Nerd Super Bowl. As in past years, Nickelodeon’s retail store on the floor (booth #4113) will offer collectibles fans won’t be able to get anywhere else, and we have your exclusive first look at of all of them right here.

Nickelodeon has something for kids of all ages, from the newest iteration of our favorite pizza-loving heroes to classic Nicktoons, whether you want a collectible to play with or put on your shelf, and even if you want to carry one around or wear on your back. Take a look.

PLAYMATES RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES FIGURES

Playmates has four new SDCC exclusive figures for each hero in a half shell based on their newest looks from Nick’s upcoming reboot Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The individually sculpted figures will range in heights from 4.25 inches for Mikey, to 4.75 inches for Raph, with Donnie and Leo each standing  4.5 inches tall. “Each figure has 13 points of articulation and comes with their new core weapon accessories,” and will also “feature exclusive, additional decoration and details on the figures and accessories.”

Each will retail for $30, and they will also come in protective “fifth panel window boxes” that will “be placed in a protective 2018 San Diego Comic-Con” box that features the Turtle’s name.

LISA FRANK SPONGEBOB POUCH

It might be 2018, but two ’90s classics will unite with this colorful Lisa Frank “pastel rainbow cosmetic bag” featuring SpongeBob Squarepants, Patrick, and all those unicorns you loved as a kid. This bag will be only be sold at SDCC, and will sell for $10.

ACTION VINYLS THE LOYAL SUBJECTS: EXCLUSIVE ROCKO AND TOMMY PICKLES

Two of the most beloved ’90s Nick Toons characters, Rocko and Tommy Pickles, will get Action Vinyls debut in San Diego. The 3-inch tall Rocko, with “a Neon ’90s exclusive throwback fit,” comes with his adorable dog Spunky. The variant Tommy figure, covered in a “splash of chocolate milk” from the bottle in his hand, is 3.25-inches tall. Both figures will sell for $15, and are only available in limited quantities.

KIDROBOT PURPLE REPTAR

We’re going to bet some of you will be hungry for this 7-inch purple Reptar medium figure from Kidrobot that comes with his own box of cereal, which he has already dug into. You will be able to gobble one up for $50.

FOCO EEKEEZ ZIM AND GIR FIGURINES

If you’d like some swag that is out of this world, you’ll be able to nab two 4-inch, poly resi Invader Zim Eekeez Figurines from FOCO for both Zim and GIR. These collectibles come with their own window packaging so you can keep them in the box and still have them on display, and will run you $15 for each.

The bad? Only 250 of each will be sold, so if you don’t grab your favorites fast you might get stuck without your favorite pin.

THE NICK BOX

The next installment in Nickelodeon’s quarterly subscription service has a fitting summertime theme for July’s biggest event, with the Camp Nick Box featuring an extra Comic-Con exclusive you can only get if you buy the $50 box there, though supplies will be limited each day.

Each box will include:
