NYCC 2019: “Are you Afraid of the Dark?” Again

NYCC 2019: “The King’s Man” and “Free Guy”

Going “Inside the Spiderverse” at NYCC
It is never surprising when a panel at New York Comic-Con offers up video. If it’s a panel on a movie or a television show, they have to offer video. Even so, those in the audience regularly are thrilled by… Read More ›
“Good Omens” Panel Makes for Positive Feelings at NYCC

“Mortal Engines” Devours New York Comic-Con
With his “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Peter Jackson has earned himself, at least in some corners of fandom, a lifetime pass. That is, if Jackson is involved in a project, a whole lot of folks are going to be… Read More ›
New York Comic-Con: The Experience of the “Experiences”

New York Comic Con 2016: "Death Race 2050" and Roger Corman
New York – “Death Race 2050” has nothing to do with “Death Race” or “Death Race 2” or “Death Race: Inferno.” That would be silly. “Death Race 2050” is more aligned with “Death Race 2000,” while “Death Race” is a… Read More ›
