This year at San Diego Comic-con, we invaded Wired Café and we did it in yellow leotards and thigh high boots. That’s right, my crew decided on a group cosplay and we dressed as Beyonce’s back up dancers from Coachella. We got to chill out from the San Diego sun for a few hours, enjoying cocktails, beers snacks and occasionally taking photos with people– thank you, Wired Café!
Finally, Mr. J, we are on Blu-Ray™! This is what I imagine Harley Quinn would squeal out to The Joker… and honestly, I am squealing too!
The Batman: The Complete Animated Series Deluxe Limited Edition will of course include all episodes of the critically-acclaimed series as well as two bonus discs, which will contain 25 featurettes with an an all-new, 60+ minute definitive Batman: The Animated Series making-of documentary, “The Heart of Batman.”
The Dragon Ball North America Tour, presented by Funimation, Bandai and Toei Animation, launched the exhibition at San Diego Comic Con 2018. The installation features a life-sized replica of the World Martial Arts Tournament– a triennial tournament of the “strongest under the heavens” and a central event in the 34-year-old Dragon Ball franchise. Fans can look at a collection of merchandise, memorabilia, play the Dragon Ball Super Card Game or the video game, Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Including this amazing animated GIF photobooth! Click below to see more photos from the installation.
The cast of Arrow boarded the #IMDBboat, which included Stephen Amell, Colton Hayes, David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Juliana Hakarvy, Rick Gonzales and Echo Kellum. While talking to Kevin Smith, the cast jokingly challenged the cast of Riverdale with with Hakarvy declaring that they will “fall right over.” Maybe they haven’t seen how hardcore the Southside Serpent gets? This fight could get dirty! Check out more photos below provided by Getty Images for IMDb as well as more content on the IMDb.com website.

What is more important than those exclusive merchandise and scoring autographs at San Diego Comic-Con 2018? The food and drinks, of course– which I am ALWAYS a huge fan of! This year, restaurants and bars in the Gaslamp at downtown San Diego are pulling all the stops all weekend with themed beverages and meals to celebrate our collective nerd party for the long weekend on July 18 until July 22nd. Want to know where to get the tastiest treats? Check out our list below!
Get your Captain America waffle on at Café 222 on Island Avenue: a malted waffle shaped like Captain America’s shield, topped with fresh berries and whipped cream.
For the Star Wars fans, check out Prohibition Liquor Bar on Fifth Avenue where you can order drinks called Never Tell Me the Odds (Redemption Rye,demerara, Averna and R&D house bitters), I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing (El Silencio Mezcal, watermelon cordial and R&D smoke bitters), or Let the Wookie Win (bourbon, lime, ginger and Fernet).
Day 2 of San Diego Comic-Con was spent mostly wandering around the off-site events, including all the activations at the PETCO parking lot. I got to visit the Ice Cream Citadel where the Lich King (from Blizzard’s Hearthstone) presided over his shop as people lined up for free ice cream. Surprisingly, the Deadquarters—The Walking Dead experience— didn’t have a long line and I decided to check it out. It was a nice outdoor lounge, too much sun for me personally, but there was free Mountain Dew and a cool bunker experience!
