Comic Con

SDCC 2013 has come and gone, and we may have been sitting in our hot, un-air conditioned NYC apartment, sweating out a horrendous heat wave in our underpants, but our friends at Comics Alliance and ScreenCrush got to go, and they took some great pictures!

Choosing a costume for Comic-Con is tough. You don't want to go with something too obvious (we're so going to bring down Mjolnir on the next Loki we see), and you also don't want to go as something too obscure. (We're still smarting over no one recognizing our "Judd Hirsch in 'Dear John'" costume at Comic-Con 2011.)

It's that magical time of the year ... Comic Con! Nerds unite together in one place to get autographs, ogle booth babes and generally stink up the place. But it's not all fun and games -- it's a weekend of endless lines and waiting. To make sure you have the best time possible, follow our handy Comic Con Survival Guide.

While some fans hit Comic-Con to stand in line for hours to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars or comic book creators, we prefer getting something tangible to make up for our achey legs. That's why we have no qualms about lining up to score some of the awesome exclusive toys at the con.

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.

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.

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.

All your favorite celebs came out to Comic-Con 2012 last week to showcase their latest movie and TV projects to the fans. Though, first and foremost, Comic-Con has always been and will always be the place to let you geek flag wave in the air, and some celebs got into the spirit of the convention a little more so than others. Those who actually got to attend Comic-Con this year will know we're talk

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.

Comic-Con 2012 is this weekend and in case you can't go to San Diego yourself, we've brought all the fun to you! The convention (originally just for comic books) is full of great costumes from pop culture, comics, movies and more. There's always awesome props and merchandise and no end to the cool stuff, including panels with the stars of some of our favorite shows.

When tickets went on sale for San Diego's Comic-Con they sold out in record time. But don't worry -- there are plenty of other fan festivals and geek gatherings where you can fly your freak flag. Here are eight great events that rival Comic Con for their nerdy spirit.

When the CDC (Center for Disease Control) starts handing out warnings, you know it's time to get real about the potential zombie invasion.

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."

The Blu-ray edition of George Lucas' original 'Star Wars' trilogy doesn't drop until September 16, but attendees at this week's Comic-Con in San Diego were treated to a clip of a few never-before-seen deleted scenes that will be featured in box set.
