S.H.I.E.L.D. may show Agent Coulson’s mysterious Cellist Lover

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. showed up to New York Comic-Con and screened the entire next episode, which, had some pretty funny parts. But the real gem we gleaned from the NYCC panel was what was implied. Producer Jeph Loeb took the stage and didn’t answer much. When asked any sort of spoiler question his response…

Walking Dead casts Eugene and a badass Abraham

Walking Dead’s big New York Comic-Con announcement? They’ve found their Abraham. It’s Bull from Band of Brothers… so the crush continues. Plus they’ve cast the mullet-ed Eugene as well!

Vampire Academy is actually A LOT funnier than we expected

The biggest draw for the latest vampire movie isn’t the hot young things starring it it, it’s the two middle-aged Waters Brothers. The director from Mean Girls and writer of Heathers combined their powers to steal the thunder from the baby vamps on stage at New York Comic-Con. And thank god for it. Based on…

The Tomorrow People sizzle reel teases the entire mutant-filled season

Last night New York Comic-Con screened the pilot for the masses, and afterwards they debuted a little sizzle reel that teases what’s going to happen in farther on down the road. So far so good. The first episode premiered just a few days ago, but now you can look ahead into the future of this…

Pimp2-D2 is the newest, greatest action figure in the galaxy

This is real. This is happening. Somehow, some way, Manly Art is producing this amazing Pimp2-D2 figure as an exclusive at this weekend’s New York Comic-Con. It’s $50 (AND YOU BETTER HAVE HIS MONEY) but I wouldn’t worry about it because this droid is going to sell out almost instantly. [Via Geek Sexy]

Is Danny McBride’s “Your Highness” the new Army of Darkness?

For everyone waiting for an R-rated Labyrinth, your time has come. We just saw the first footage of the profanity-laced fantasy epic Your Highness. It was pretty funny.
