The booths are broken down and all that’s left of this year’s Wizard World Chicago convention are empty mylar bags blowing in the wind and streets littered with Marvel Comics promo cards. Sunday was another slow one on the show floor, with many creators (and a few retailers) packing up and bailing out well before…
To some, it may seem unusual to find Max Brooks, the author of the very popular novels The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z at a convention devoted mostly to comic books. But really, it isn’t that hard to understand. Both of Brooks’ books deal with zombies, a very popular creature among comics and…
Previously on ComicMix, we featured galleries of photos from Wizard World showcasing the general “flavor” of the show and some cool costumes. And now, because even more fanboys and fangirls made their presence known on Saturday, we’ve got another gallery of costume photos for you. From Frylock to Blade to C-3PO, these costumes prove that…
Day Two of the show began on a somber note, as the passing of creator Michael Turner late the previous night was confirmed and marked by memories and moments of silence throughout the day. CBR has posted a touching message from Aspen Comics Editor-in-Chief Vince Hernandez on the death of his good friend and associate….
Hope you’ve been enjoying our Wizard World Chicago reports! Alas, no conventioning for some of us, but New York’s pretty nice (and hot!) this weekend as well. Interleague crosstown rivalries are going on in both baseball-loving towns, after all! Here’s what we’ve stepped up to the plate and hit for you this past week:…
During a late-afternoon panel at Wizard World Chicago, Devil’s Due Publishing announced today that it would be producing a Vampire Hunter D miniseries (titled “American Wasteland”) based on the popular anime/manga character. While the full creative team, length of the series and release date haven’t been finalized, DDP president Josh Blaylock will be serving as…
Saddened by the loss of Michael Turner, activity here in Chicago got off to a slow start today. Things, however, took a left turn when Dynamic Forces dropped the news that they were the new publishers of the Judge Dredd/2000AD line as well as The Phantom. Fans and fellow publishers were all shocked at the…
Previously on ComicMix, we brought you a photo gallery showcasing some of the “flavor” of the Wizard World Chicago show. This time around, the gallery features some of the great costumes worn by fanboys and fangirls as well as some of the more “exotic” staff at the various booths. Heck, there’s even one or two…
After a full day on the floor at this year’s Wizard World Chicago (which is actually held well away from Chicago in Rosemont, IL), I can’t help but think the "Chicago" aspect of the show’s title isn’t the only element that’s a bit misleading. This weekend, it’s far more accurate to say that it’s "Avatar…
As ComicMix online managing editor Rick Marshall pointed out earlier today, the team is currently in Chicago at Wizard World, neck deep in panels, festivities and events. So far, the show has been chock-full of photo opportunities. From comic book artists and writers to the Joker, harem girls, Imperial Stormtroopers and professional wrestlers, the show…
Friday, Day One at Wizard World Chicago and it’s the Marvel Ultimates Panel featuring Brian Bendis, C.B. Cebulski, editor Bill Rosemann and moderator Jim McCann. As Rick Marshall previously reported about the "Mondo Marvel" panel, this particular panel was also relatively light on earth-shattering announcements. It also had some technical problems at the beginning which…
It’s the first of our special broadcasts from the floor at Wizard World Chicago, and Marvel began the day with a few announcements, which we detail here. Also be sure to check out our ComicMix report on the “Mondo Marvel” panel posted earlier today. Can’t be here? Just press the button! And remember, you can…
