Let the Right One In is a new vampire series created in the same spirit as the internationally bestselling novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist. The series follows Mark Kane (portayed by Oscar® nominee Demián Bichir) and his daughter Eleanor Kane (Madison Taylor Baez), who turns into a vampire at the age…
At New York Comic Con last month, I watched the premiere of The Following, Fox’s serial killer drama starring Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy, which will premiere January 21st. It’s taken this long for me to make sense of how I felt about it. There’s no question, it’s daring. It absolutely pushes the boundaries. My…
We went to the Evil Dead panel at New York Comic Con, and it was transcendant! Bruce Campbell, that’s all you need to know. Not enough? He’s the star and producer of the franchise, as well as producer of the remake, though many TV crime fans know him best as Sam Axe from Burn Notice.…
After the movie The Avengers came out, a few of us (nerdy) people began to wonder what superheroes were actually liable for in the event of…you know…saving the world.

This past weekend, New York Comic Con was the scene for all kinds of interesting activities. As you may have heard, Criminal Element…
Sure, there are great panels, interesting signings, cool video games, and even the chance to hobnob with your idols, but one of the best things about going to a Comic Con is just looking at the cosplayers (costumed players for those of you not familiar with the lingo). These fantastically feathered folk were everywhere, promoting…
Her majesty looks so nice, but those handcuffs… This month is con-crazy! Of course, we adored being at Bouchercon last weekend, but upon return, we’ve got to jump right into New York Comic Con at the Javits Center in Manhattan this weekend! Being the consummate pros we are—not to mention insatiably nosy fans— we’ve stuffed…
I think I’ve missed one year of the last 5, and this year’s NYCC was the biggest ever. I was not at the first, but I do recall when it was small enough to have to share Javits Center floor space (on only one level yet) with a travel show that was much larger and…
