Watch Andy Serkis as Gollum drops the F-Bomb at Comic-Con

Second unit director on The Hobbit and Gollum wrangler Andy Serkis made the crowd go wild at The Hobbit panel in Comic-Con when he adorably cussed in the voice of Gollum. After being prompted to “do the voice” — and being egged on by host Chris Hardwick — Serkis let them all have a little…

We talk with the minds behind Adventure Time about the sunshiny post-apocalypse

One of the biggest draws at this year’s Comic-Con was Cartoon Network’s unapologetically bizarre animated show Adventure Time, in which the human boy Finn and his trusty dog Jake navigate the magical Land of Ooo, long after human civilization has disappeared.

Inspired by superhero Disney Princess fan art, these cosplayers made a real-life superteam

This group of cosplayers was taken with a piece of Disney superheroine fan art by Deviant Art illustrator Byron Bojengles III, so they boosted that sketch’s roster by over a dozen at Comic-Con 2012. There’s no shortage of devotion on display here, but it’s Belle’s literary war hammer that wins the day. You can see…

Our favorite Star Trek cosplay of the weekend

We love this female version of Geordi La Forge, modeled here by Jay Justice. She told us that her friends, female Data and female Captain Picard, couldn’t get tickets to Comic-Con so she had to go it alone. Let’s hope we see all three next year, along with a male Counselor Troi.

True Blood’s Comic-Con trailer shows off Russell Edgington’s triumphant return

We’ve seen five episodes True Blood — with only about 30 seconds of Russell Edgington (most of which he spent looking like aborted Voldemort from the final Harry Potter). Well NO MORE, KIDDOS.

The Venture Bros. are returning in 2013, so we asked the show’s creators total nonsense

At Comic-Con, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick — the grand poobahs behind the Adult Swim series The Venture Bros. — were on hand for 5% hard fact, 95% mirthful digression.
