During Comic-Con International, IDW Publishing announced an upcoming crossover that sci-fi fans have been wanting for years: Star Trek / Legion of Super-Heroes, in which the crew of the starship Enterprise meets the space-faring teenagers of DC's far future...

It's been a little more than a week since we got home from Comic-Con, which means our bags are (mostly) unpacked and our lives have returned to whatever passes for normal in the blogosphere. Rested and cured of Con Crud, we're reflecting on what went on when we weren't on duty and had a chance to celebrate the true meaning of Comic-Con: Buying awesome things...

As ComicsAlliance continues processing all the news, controversy and liver damage of Comic-Con 2011, we've brought in a professional to help us make sense of the massive comics mega-event with an exclusive series of infographics by Tim Leong, the former Editor-in-Chief of Comic Foundry magazine and current Art Director at Wired magazine...

As much as San Diego's Comic-Con International is about stuff -- which is to say, comic books, graphic novels, video games, films, toys, collectibles and alcohol -- the world's largest pop culture convention is also about cosplay. It's hard to remember that just a few short years ago, cosplayers were synonymous with the infamous and much maligned "Tron guy," but prodigious, fashion-consc

San Diego's Comic-Con International 2011 is behind us, but we'll always have the memories. Those and the surplus of posts we'll continue to roll out this week. But mostly the memories, captured in photographic form by ComicsAlliance contributors and friends, including artist and designer Laurenn McCubbin (Madame Xanadu, Rent Girls), who shared with us some excellent portraits of creators like Adam

Of all the comic books, movies and tie-ins that featured at Comic-Con International in San Diego, the one I was unquestionably the most excited about was Batman: Arkham City. The upcoming sequel to 2009's Arkham Asylum video game drops the Dark Knight into a massive urban environment transformed into a city-sized prison for super-villains...
