Be prepared: It’s a lot of stuff.

The New York Comic Con was last weekend and the cosplayers really pulled out all the stops. Here are a few of my favorite costumes.

Yesterday, AMC gave us a little taste of the zombie-drama to come with a quick teaser for The Walking Dead Season 9. On the heels of today’s Comic-Con panel, the first full trailer for the pivotal upcoming season has landed online, offering a sneak peek at the survivor factions as they attempt to forge a new, more peaceful life with one another in the wake of Negan’s reign of terror.

Watch the first official trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s highly-anticipated ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Split’ crossover.

An organization is working hard to bring local children's imaginations and dreams to life. You can be apart of it and help make a difference for a local kid.

One of the saddest aspects about the American film industry’s inexplicable inability to get the Fantastic Four right is the lack of a worthy cinematic representation of their primary foe, the menacing, megalomaniacal, mysterious Doctor Doom. He’s a great character, with all the gravitas of a disgraced royal (he rules over the fictitious kingdom of Latveria, which is not the same as Latvia, in one of my childhood’s most major disappointments) and the volatility of a man driven by revenge. His mythology — the trademark green cape and metal faceplate, his grandiloquent manner of speaking — has already inspired at least one legend in the world of music, and now the movies will finally catch up.

As a tagline, “You’ll float too” sounds more like a promise than a threat (maybe it’s both?), and the upcoming adaptation of It definitely seems ready and willing to deliver. Even if you haven’t read Stephen King’s classic horror novel and lack the context for that tagline, there’s something undeniably disturbing about it, especially when taken with this new poster created exclusively for Comic-Con 2017.

Last year, LEGO introduced Brick Headz to the world at San Diego Comic-Con, and the blockified-character building kits have been a staple of the company's release slate ever since. The line is still relatively small in comparison to LEGO's other vehicle and building playsets, but that Brick Headz are seeing continued support is great for LEGO fans working on a budget. This year's Comic-Con exclusives bring two more of the biggest heroes in the DC and Marvel universes to life in special two-packs focused on Supergirl and Spider-Man.

We haven’t long to wait before The Defenders assemble at Comic-Con, and they’re bringing The Punisher with them. Get a first look at the Netflix heroes’ San Diego artwork, and our closest look at an Iron Fist costume yet.

Where yesterday DC announced that every TV superhero in their arsenal would arrive at Comic-Con 2017, Marvel may be playing things more conservatively. Find out what The Defenders and Inhumans will bring to San Diego, and who’s missing from the list!
