Nick Nadel — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:30:54 +0000

Ever notice how the names of many characters in the ‘Star Wars‘ universe sound like tasty pasta dishes? We did, and we decided to test our theory with a little video quiz at the 2012 New York Comic Con. Comedian Kevin Maher (VH1, AMC) quizzed Stormtroopers, multiple Banes, a pint-sized Spider-Man and more costumed fans [...]

The New York Comic Con took place at the Big Apple's Javits Center this past weekend, and we went to check out the fun. Here are some pictures of our favorite attendees. Because what would Comic Con be without the cosplayers? Just a convention of really talented and interesting people talking about comics and nerd stuff. Not nearly as fun.

Christians Protest Comic-Con 2012, Fail to Realize 'Galactus Is Nigh'

Comic-Con 2012 always gets its fair share of weirdos. Clearly by “weirdos” we’re referring to “religious protesters.” Usually, it’s the Westboro Baptist Church behind these anti-comic-book-nerd events, but this time around we’ve got a different band of unnamed Christians to thank for 2012′s collective statement against the false prophet Superman and his followers. Though, the [...]

All your favorite celebs came out to Comic-Con 2012 last week to showcase their latest movie and TV projects to the fans.

Those who actually got to attend Comic-Con this year will know we're talking, of course, about Robert Downey Jr.

Comic-Con 2012 is the social event of the season... for geeks. It's equivalent to the Oscars for actors, New York Fashion Week for style junkies and the MTV Movie Awards for B- to C-List celebrities. That being said, what you wear to Comic-Con is just as important as Comic-Con itself.

When the cast of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' cast showed up at Comic-Con dressed as the characters from the show's epic, ridiculous rock opera episode "The Nightman Cometh," it was pretty inevitable that they would end up doing a musical number.

So here they are, pleasing the crowd with a sing-a-long rendition of 'Day Man,' from that episode.

Talk about the fashion police: ‘America’s Next Top Model’ winner Adrianne Curry was reportedly kicked out of Comic-Con 2011 last week for wearing what she later referred to on Twitter as an “illegal costume.” Curry, whose ill-fated marriage to ‘Brady Bunch’ star Christopher Knight was documented on the VH1 reality series ‘My Fair Brady,’ showed [...]

Earlier this year, MTV announced that 'Beavis and Butt-Head,' one of MTV's flagship shows during the 1990s, would be returning -- and fans rejoiced.

Attendees at Comic-Con got a preview of upcoming episodes yesterday, introduced by creator Mike Judge, and it seems the iconic adolescents haven't aged a bit.. The only difference seems to be the material on which they snark while watching TV -- instead of music videos, now it's tacky reality fare like 'Jersey Shore.'
