Nerd News: Fringe, Nerdy Art, Oregon Trail and more

Vol. 1, Issue 9

Have you been reading the Axe Cop/Dr. McNinja crossover? No? Why not?

This panel, in particular, made me laugh out loud at my desk.

While we're on the topic of webcomics, Kate Beaton is a wonder.

Oh-so-amusing.

In movie news:

• Here's a look at Asgard's throne room. Shiny! (They had a scale model of the throne in the Exhibit Hall at Comic Con.)
• As you've probably heard by now, Mark Ruffalo is taking over the tiny purple shorts for The Avengers.
• Alan Tudyk has joined the cast of Transformers 3.

Heath Ledger's Joker—minus the makeup—really shows how crazy good special effects makeup is these days.

I'd watch this movie, if only for the memories ...

I am already too far into the planning stages of my wedding to change now, but I am loving this British cosplay wedding. Perhaps Colt and I can have a Cosplay Golden Anniversary party?

In TV news:

• Some spoilers/info for the third season of Fringe. (Polivia! Polivia!)
• Syfy's announced 7 new series. Serieses? Seri? (I'm an editor, I should know this.)

Love these WWII-i-fied Star Wars action figures.

I also love this. The season finale of The Doctor was so good, so funny, so perfect. I want it to come back on now.

And this. Tee hee.

Tomorrow, I will post Part 2 of my Comic Con wrap-up. I need more time in the day to get everything done!
