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!
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.
Other stars that stopped by were Grant Gustin with the cast of The Flash, Wesley Snipes, Nathan Fillion, Melissa Benoist with the cast of Supergirl, Rza, Jodie Whitaker with the new cast of Doctor Who, and many more!

Pray for me and my unholy thoughts.
Look. I screamed during the season finale— not because shit was going down— but because Hot Dog (Jughead’s dog in the comic books) made a cameo. That tells you how much of an Archie nerd I am.
Spoiler alert for Season 1 below!
The Archie comics were a huge part of my comic book reading days of my childhood. I was thrilled when The CW announced that Greg Berlanti (The Flash, Arrow) was developing a new series based on Archie called Riverdale. I had been waiting for this very moment. A live-action Archie television show! Jughead will be coming to life! Ahhh, I love Jughead so much!
In 2015, Archie will be “rebooted” with Mark Weid and one of my favorite artist, Fiona Staples to celebrate its 75th anniversary. When I came across this on my newsfeed on Twitter, my brain pretty much imploded. I grew up on Archie comics. For awhile, I really latched onto the world, going back and forth between Team Betty and Team Veronica and then deciding that everyone sucks except for Jughead. I must have absorbed plenty of life lessons from reading millions of Archie books.
So yes, I’m a bit excited to see the new look for the comic book and for this relaunch!
