Eats: The Infinite Yums' edible holiday take (no, not Life Day, fortunately) on Star Wars' Ewok Village and Death Star is pretty stellar. Movies: Doctor Who maestro Steven Moffat's wisdom runs counter to rumors of a Hollywood Who movie...

WonderCon is breaking from tradition in 2012, scheduling a March 16-18 show in Anaheim, Calif. rather than at its San Francisco home of 25 years. Responding to the March date, Reed Exhibitions has rescheduled its Chicago convention C2E2 for April 13-15, 2012 while Wizard World has agreed to slot its Wizard World Anaheim show even later in the year...

In the event that you missed the ComicsAlliance vs. iFanboy faceoff panel at WonderCon 2011 -- a description which fits everyone in the world except maybe a hundred people -- we're pleased to present the video (courtesy of iFanboy) where our respective staffs faced off in a friendly competition in the following categories: Headline Writing, Spelling Really Complicated Names, Family Feud, Six Degre

A San Francisco crowd got an early look at the first proper trailer for ThunderCats at WonderCon, and now you can check it out right here on ComicsAlliance.
