I’d like to steal this Galactus photo for every SDCC story from here out. Heidi MacDonaldHeidi MacDonald is the founder and editor in chief of The Beat. In the […]
SDCC: Rep. John Lewis’s MARCH: Book One
by Pam Auditore Among the faux Heroes in spandex came a true, real life one, in suit and tie, to San Diego’s Comic-Con one Saturday morning. Representative John Lewis, Democrat, of the Congressional 5th District of Georgia, and sole surviving speaker of the 1963 Freedom March on Washington, made his Comic-Con debut promoting his autobiographical […]
#Tweetfolio: San Diego Comic-Con Needs To Get Bigger
By Bon Alimagno I hadn’t been to San Diego Comic-Con in five or six years. I swore it off when I was walking through one of the halls, one that had become largely consumed by video game companies. The crowd those vendors attracted choked the aisles. I wanted to turn around to find the booth […]

Review: Mophie Juice Pack Plus
As past of my San Diego Comic-Con experience, I was lucky enough to be given a Mophie Juice Pack Plus to test as a back up power source for my iPhone. I always meant to get one but never had the $$ and the time to pick one up.

SDCC ’13: The final countdown—maybe Twilight did ruin Comic-Con (not really)
On the Saturday night of Con I was walking back from the Hilton Bayfront to the Manchester Grand Hyatt and happened upon the end of a line of campers. While once the madness of Hall H—where the biggest show biz spectacles are held—fell poignantly silent on Sunday, now it was a titanic blockbuster—Sunday’s line-up included the final appearance of Breaking Bad, the final appearance of Matt Smith as Doctor Who and the appearance of Supernatural in the fulsomeness of its midlife.
SDCC ’13 wrap-up: Haters, be quiet
By Megan Byrd In the weeks and months leading up to the annual spectacle known as “San Diego Comic Con”, dread of this event is expressed as frequently as anticipation by attendees, professionals, and fans staying home. The cost, the planning, the con crud; these are a few of fandom’s least favorite things, and they […]
