Stan Lee’s L.A. Comic Con celebrates its 7th anniversary this year, and it seems like just yesterday that we were setting up the Geekscape booth at their very first outing! It’s been amazing watching them grow over the years, and we’re very happy to be a part of it.

Now Stan Lee and company have taken another big leap forward as Entertainment Weekly has been named as their Official Media Partner. What does this mean for con lovers? If you’re fortunate enough to be able to attend Los Angeles’ largest pop culture convention, your 3 day pass will include a one year subscription to Entertainment Weekly magazine, on top of all of the panels, photo-ops and autograph opportunities with celebrities from your favorite fandoms (maybe even the godfather of comics himself!). 

We’ve heard rumblings about some rumored unannounced guests and you’re going to want to get your passes now!

One day Stan and I will celebrate our birthday together.

The con runs October 27th-29th and passes are on sale now at stanleeslacomiccon.com, If you hurry, a 3-day pass is still only $70!

And for those who can’t attend the con (college, why you gotta get in the way of my nerdy dreams?), Entertainment Weekly will be covering convention news in their magazine as well as on their website. Announced guests at Stan Lee’s L.A. Comic Con this year include Stan Lee, Marc Silvestri, Camilla D’Errico, Terra Strong and Ming Chen… and it’s only going to get even bigger!

Briefly: Following the sweet international trailer from just last week, Marvel has just debuted the first official clip for next month’s Ant-Man.

I’ve been pretty on-the-fence on the film since its troubled production began, and especially following that less-than-stellar first trailer. It’s been a long time coming, however, and as the release approaches, the film’s ever improving marketing has definitely been raising my interest, and at this point I can’t wait to line-up on July 17th.

Today’s clip marks the first time that Paul Rudd uses the Ant-Man suit, and it’s pretty freaking awesome.

In the film, “Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world”

Take a look at the clip below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see from the feature! Ant-Man hits theatres on July 17th!

Briefly: Marvel’s Ant-Man is now just a few weeks away from theatres, and the studio has began to turn its marketing machine up to 11. Following the new poster from just a few days back, a new international trailer has just debuted, featuring a ton of fresh, fresh footage, and a batch of new laughs to boot.

Briefly: Marvel’s Ant-Man is less than two months away from theatres at this point, and the studio has began to turn its marketing machine up to 11. Following the new poster from just a few days back, a new, one minute-long TV spot has just hit the web.

The spot features a ton of footage that we haven’t seen yet, and definitely looks to expand on the laughs that we first saw in the previous trailer.

Briefly: Following the much better second trailer from last month, and a cool poster from just a few weeks back, Marvel has just debuted another one sheet for July’s Ant-Man.

This one features our shrunken hero atop one of his insect pals dodging a series of bullets. I wonder how many times we’ll see that in the feature.

Following the clever ant-sized teaser and poster, the first full teaser trailer for Ant-Man is finally, finally, finally here!

The teaser shows off the first footage of Paul Rudd in the sweet-looking suit, and while it doesn’t reveal a ton of plot, we get a good idea of Lang’s intentions, and also get to see just how good of a salesman Michael Douglas’s Hank Pym can be. Serious, that monologue though.

The teaser features a far more serious tone than I’d expected, especially with Step Brothers director Adam McKay at the helm (and not to mention the fact that it stars Paul Rudd), but after the hilarious, heartbreaking blast that was Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, I’m ready for something a little more serious (though hopefully just as different). After all of the controversy surrounding the film over the last year, it’s great to finally see some footage, and it’s even better that the footage is freakin’ rad.

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think! Ant-Man hits theatres on July 17th, 2015!

On my way back from San Diego Comic-Con this year, I hopped on a plane to Newark Liberty. Sitting in first class? Paul freaking Rudd. My first thought was, I just came from one of the biggest pop culture and entertainment conventions where some information about Marvel’s Ant-Man was revealed, and here he is on this plane! My second thought was he had nice hair.

And that hair looks even nicer on this swell cover from Entertainment Weekly!

The campaign for this movie is super obvious, but it’s still cute. It’s playing to the quirky sensibility of the character, although could they really do anything like that for a guy like Iron Man? The Hulk? Should they sell torn-up magazines or issues stained with martinis?

If these ant-sized reveals aren’t enough, check out the official poster below!

Oh that’s just precious.

Don’t forget, a full Ant-Man teaser airs tonight with Agent Carter! Who else is stoked for that series, by the way? Here’s another look — a human-sized look — at the teaser, in case your attention span is also ant-sized.

As noted yesterday, this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly is all about Comic-Con (and rightly so). The issue features a second official still from season four of The Walking Dead… albeit quite a boring one.

It’s Daryl, wearing a bandanna over his face. That’s it. No walkers, no action, no revelations, no nothing. I guess they have to save something for the panel, right?

Take a look at the image below, and let us know what you think! The Walking Dead returns to AMC this October!
