We preview the must-see panels, the exclusives, and the various “off-site” events. From Marvel, DC and Star Wars to Disney, Doctor Who, and tons of animation, there's something this year for everyone.

We also give updates on other upcoming fan conventions.

It’s the mayor of Amity Island! In celebration of SHARK WEEK on Discovery and SharkFest on NatGeo, we talk with DAVID HAMILTON, whose dad played the mayor in the blockbuster shark movie JAWS. Mayor Vaughn just wanted to keep the businesses open on Amity Island, and protect the financial interests of the business owners, right? As he said: “You yell ‘Barracuda,’ everybody says, ‘Huh?’ You yell ‘Shark,’ we’ve got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.’

Join us as we discuss obsessive fandom, body image issues, video gaming, and our favorite nerdy workout music.
