Friday Newsbites and New York Comic Con Weekend Open Thread
 |
Keep following our Twitter all weekend – if news escapes, Jim’ll catch it. Monday’s morning list will be a recap of the best stuff he’s seen – so that means no WeekStarter/Hangover list.
Before we begin, here are a few things we didn’t have room for in other posts today:
–Secret Wars returns to Marvel. I’d expect toy tributes too.
-What’s the matter with Kansas? Sriracha at Taco Bell.
-Cosplay proves that the U.S. is financially doomed.
-James Earl Jones is still Darth Vader.
-The new Star Wars arcade game looks badass.
-Imagine Pacific Rim as a video game in which both Jaegers and Kaiju get to eat the humans.
-Zombie-animal comic The Other Dead gets a TV series…on Animal Planet.
–Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: The Prequel Series?
-Chinese Star Wars comic from back in the day is insane.

As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.) Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A. Times, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Nerdist
