He’s basically one of the very first true-life superheroes! And now he’s got his very own comic book. Written and illustrated by Daryl Penington and M.J. Baker, and edited by Daneil Hancock, SAMSON: RISE tells the story of one of the most famous Judges of Israel with flashbacks of Samson’s rise and fall. Who said the Bible had to be boring? You won't find that here, because this comic is full of action, drama, and visceral, in-your-face artwork... and also hope and redemption.

The organizers of San Diego Comic-Con have announced a smaller in-person event for Thanksgiving weekend this year! Is it a hard sell, will anyone go, and when will tickets go on sale? Plus, we discuss Episode 2 of Falcon and Winter Soldier, the new Invincible series on Amazon, and the return of The Mighty Ducks.

In this special BONUS episode, we preview the two days of programming for the 2021 WONDERCON, being held online for the second year in a row because of the pandemic. We discuss the panels, some exclusives, and our favorite memories of Wondercons past.... Wondercon is the little brother convention of San Diego Comic-Con, held every spring in Anaheim (except for that one year it was held in downtown L.A., but we try to think of that year)... Enjoy!

Wondercon, which happens every spring, is the little brother convention to San Diego Comic-Con — and it's definitely one of our favorite. It's normally held at the Anaheim Convention Center, directly across the street from the Disneyland Resort, but because of the ongoing pandemic, this year it's being held virtually for the second year in a row. Called WONDERCON@HOME, it's got two days of video panels, vendors, exclusives, and even a cosplay masquerade. Here, THE CON GUY show previews some of the highlights we're looking forward to. The online event happens March 26-27.

It was the battle of the titans, as DC and Marvel slugged it out in the biggest comic book weekend in years. Zach Snyder’s Justice League arrived on HBO Max and a million fans rejoiced—was it worth the wait? One day later, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiered with blockbuster numbers. Who won the weekend? There’s so much geeky goodness (Granny Goodness?) this week, it’s hard to fit it into just one show!

Zack Snyder’s magnum opus arrives this week, over four hours of angsty, slow-motion super hero action. How does this new Justice League stack up against Joss Whedon’s version? Better? Worse? Meh? Ben saw an advance screening and he has opinions—LOTS of them. Plus, Katie brings us up to speed on the latest convention news—including Wondercon volunteers. And more!

Hot on the heels of the finale of Marvel's epic WANDAVISION, we celebrate our favorite ladies of fandom with our brand-new sister site THE CON GIRLS! In honor of International Women's Day, we pay tribute to Dr. Beverly Crusher, Eowyn from Lord of the Rings, Dana Scully from X-Files, our favorite Dr. Who companions, some Battlestar icons, Ahsoka, and—of course—an incomparable princess from the Star Wars universe. That, and so much more!

Did you feel that geeky earthquake? Those are the tremors set off by the cancellation of the in-person San Diego Comic-Con event for a second consecutive year. We discuss the fallout and the planned online event, the November in-person event, and more.... PLUS, WandaVision heats up, Kenobi has announcements, Walking Dead returns (yes, it's still on!) and more!

The easiest way to start a Star Wars fight is to mention Rian Johnson—which is what we did with special Guest Kurt Smejkal from Three Angry Nerds. And to keep things interesting, we also threw in the new Wednesday Addams series, JJ Abrams’ Constantine, Emma Stone’s Cruella, and Gizmo with a Mountain Dew.

Gina Carano. Joss Whedon. The Snyder Cut. Social media has flexed its might, toppling the popular Cara Dune character from The Mandalorian, along with the once-unstoppable Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and director of the first two Avengers movies. But social media also created the crescendo of voices demanding Zack Snyder’s version of the Justice League. Love it or hate it, Social Media has become the megaphone that Hollywood hears… and fears. Special guest: Mike Ehmcke of Wookiee Radio.
