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!
San Diego Comic Con—aka, Nerd Christmas in the Summer— came and went. I attended for the entire weekend this year and snapped a handful of photos of cosplayers and all the cool things around the convention. There were way more that I missed, of course. The heat was brutal this year and I am too much of a wuss to walk in extreme heat. Fortunately, there were still tons of things to see and do. Check out the photo slideshow below! You can also view the photos on our Facebook page as well.
Doing my annual roundup of the top 5 things I enjoyed most about SDCC this year, and also the things one should do or focus on in order to make the most of their SDCC.
It is a bit late, but never too late to prepare for next year!
Convention season is nearly at an end along with the Summer, so what did you guys enjoy most about SDCC this year?
TruTV’s Impractical Jokers stepped it up at this year’s San Diego Comic-con 2015 by creating an entire museum dedicated to the show. We were invited to check out the museum during their champagne breakfast for media and fans alike. The display was a lot of fun with fan art hung up on the wall and an artist doing fake airbrushed tattoos.
Q & Sal were awesome enough to sit down with Gizzy B for an interview, watch the video below and check out our photos from the event after the jump.
One of the most prominent anime series in the minds of US otaku is definitely, totally, and probably always will be, DRAGONBALLZ. One of the longest running series in all of nerd-dom, it continues to reinvent itself only just enough so that it tickles our nostalgia, making us nod knowingly about leveling up, or talking about going Super Saiyan.
At San Diego Comic-Con, we were pleased to see the franchise represented in the most kick ass way possible, as Funimation rolls out one after another super fun, fan-focused promotion for their upcoming August release of the English dub of DragonballZ: Resurrection ‘F’.
Nestled on a balcony of Conival’s huge event held in Petco Park during SDCC, the DragonballZ crew went all out to test fans’ power levels to see if they could join Frieza’s army in an event called “FRIEZA FORCE: GALACTIC ARMY BOOTCAMP!” Costumed actors yelled out to passerby to recruit them to the army and test their skills!
Check out this video of one of the most unique and fun marketing experiences set up at SDCC.
Fortune Cookie talks about Anime Expo 2015 and Gizzy B learns what “tsundere” means! We also invent a new type of bishounen through the magic of Spider News and exposes Fortune Cookie’s true nature.

Having just finished nursing a week-long hangover from San Diego Comic Con, I feel it is my duty to report upon the wild Party Wolf life that we had been boasting about pre-SDCC. So here it is, the round up of Party Wolf adventures 2014.. or… “How I felt like my body was physically dying, but I kept on anyhow… FOR THE GOOD OF THE TEAM.” I’d like to start by saying, DESPITE HOW IT LOOKS, we are all into just hanging out with our friends, and looking for a good time to meet other like minded people. Of course it’s always nice to be surprised by a celebrity sighting and cool swag, but if this Comic Con has done anything, it has only reinforced the fact that no matter HOW SWANK DA CLUB MIGHT BE, if your homies aren’t there, you’re gonna end up bailing to go find them and have good times somewhere else. The party wolf went through a pokemon-sort of evolution and became… THE PARTY TIGER. LOYAL TO HER PRIDE/CLAN WHATEVER. ROARRRR.
The Majestic Party Tiger transformation. Chubby Bunny at Comic Con. Well, the tiger head was actually a backpack. And it got a lot of attention–some good, some bad, haha.
