We told you about the imminent sale of the fat pony figurines from Kate Beaton's "Hark! A Vagrant" webcomic back at Emerald City Comic Con last weekend, and now the moment has arrived, and a small army of ponies stand waiting for you to take them home at Beaton's Topatoco store. Well, more like a regiment of ponies. There are a limited number of figurines for sale at $50 each, and knowing what I ...

The waiting is over. Scott Pilgrim Vol. 6 has finally been announced, and now we know its name: "Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour." The final volume of Bryan Lee O'Malley's beloved series from Oni Press will hit comic book shops on July 20th (right before San Diego Comic-Con), with a price tag of $11.99 for 248 pages of Pilgrimy goodness. Check out the full cover after the jump! ...

Power Girl, as a character, has gotten some variable treatment over the years, but we've loved the "Power Girl" solo series by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, with its seriously superlative art by Amanda Conner, and were saddened to hear that the trio will soon be moving on. Now, according to The Source, we know who's going to be taking over: Artist Sami Basri, who was already helping out with ...

We've featured Threadless t-shirts quite a few times on ComicsAlliance thanks to the frequent geek and comics-friendly shirts and designs on the site involving superheroes, supervillains, queenly Jokers, literal batmen, out-of-work crimefighters, batsignals, useless superpowers, and sexy Transformers -- not to mention designs from comics creators like Jess Fink. Today marks the 10th ...

Art: Robot 6 compiles Lady Gaga illustrations after the recent release of her "Telephone" duet with Beyonce. Interviews: Kurt Busiek gets interviewed by a Girl Scout. Tributes: Frank Miller offers a touching tribute to "Sin City" actress Brittany Murphy, who passed away late year. Conventions: Over at Techland, Douglas Wolk catalogs the Lantern fans of Emerald City Comic-Con and asks them ...

The first issue of the new Vertigo series "American Vampire" comes out today, from writer Scott Snyder and illustrator Rafael Albuquerque. Oh, and there's this other co-writer... I think his name is Stephen King? We've seen comics from King before, and plenty of novelists attempting the jump to comics like Snyder, and of course, more than enough vampire franchises, but after reading the first ...

There was quite a bit of cosplay at the recent Emerald City Comic Con, as with most conventions, and we chased down several costumed fans on the floor to get their pictures. We've already talked about this guy, but we've got a few other favorites for you. The Super Mario Lanterns were two of our MVPs, although we'd never really imagined Mario as a Red Lantern. But, admittedly, he does spit hot ...

If you missed Emerald City Comic-Con over the weekend in Seattle, no worries -- we've still got the highlights here on CA. And while we were making our rounds on the floor, we also snapped photos of the entertaining things and people we found, including Jeff Parker, Ben Templesmith, Steve Lieber, Kate Beaton, and the world's gayest He-Man animation cel. Check out the full gallery after the jump! ...

Levar Burton holds a special place of nostalgia in my heart, not only for his role as Lt. Commander Geordi LaForge on the superlative 1990s Star Trek series "Star Trek: The Next Generation," but also for hosting the kids' show "Reading Rainbow," where he helped a generation of kids develop a healthy sense of skepticism in opinions of others by constantly telling them not to take his word for it. ...

Slave Leia cosplay is pretty popular (and common) at comic book conventions not least of all because it features the lovely "Star Wars" princess in a metal bikini with a chain around her neck. After all, who can resist nostalgic, geeky sci-fi costumes with just a faint whiff of BDSM? But in the spirit of gender-swapped characters, one fan at Emerald City Comic-Con decided to give the old favorite ...
