Jessica Alba may not be playing a comic book character like Sin City's Nancy Callahan or Fantastic Four's Susan Storm in the movie she's currently promoting, but the actress did grace Comic-Con with her presence again yesterday.
Alba joined her costar, comedian Dane Cook, at the special Lionsgate preview panel to give the crowd some exclusive peeks at their upcoming romantic --and, from the looks
Comic-Con Costumes: Day One
Today marked the official first day of Comic-Con 2007 in San Diego, and not only did enthusiastic crowds show up in droves, many of their number showed up in costume to celebrate the occasion ... just the way we like it!

Vivat Gredel! Matt Wagner on the 25th Anniversary Plans

Comic-Con Blasts Off with Preview Night

MoCCA Wrap-Up: Minx, Underage Authors and Unprintable Sketches
Much as I enjoyed the MoCCA programming yesterday, I made a conscious decision not to spend as much time in panels today, so as to spend more time walking the floor and picking up cool looking books. I limited myself to just two panels --Shelly Bond's too-early-in-the-morning Minx panel and the Joe Matt spotlight which Clayton blogged earlier-- and spent the rest of the day soaking up (and picking
Vertigo to Announce a New Alan Moore Series?
OK, now maybe I'm crazy, but bear with me here. While I was talking with a Vertigo editor at MoCCA this morning, many tantalizing hints were dropped regarding what sounds like a major new title to be announced next month in San Diego. The unnamed title is to be a new ongoing monthly and hints dropped included that the writer is an old school Vertigo creator, has been in the business for 25 years,
