Comic-Con International ’11 – It Begins!

At no other time or place can you see thousands of geeky nerdy nerds gathered in a place tailored for them. Comic-Con started out as a place for the assembled fans of to gather, discuss, sell, buy, promote and live all things comic-related, and has grown exponentially. This is the Con that makes all other cons it’s bitch. The next big thing from comics, movies, video games, toys, cosplay etc. is usually first brought to us at this yearly event.

So obviously we are going to try to cover all the big news, but I’ll warn you ahead of time –  These little updates will be anything but little.

‘Issues’ – Superheroes In Therapy

It seems like a lot of the stress, tension, psychosis, anger, and despair fueled problems that every superhero deals with could possibly be solved with a little dose of therapy. Therapy that doesn’t involve smashing faces and getting sidekicks killed. So it’s about time we get to see a visit to the world of superhero therapy.

Possibly avoided with therapy, just saying…

Issues is a new series brought to us by Crackle, and revolves around a world full of real people and animated superheroes. So step into the office of Dr. Ted (played by Josh Cooke) as he works through some superhero Issues:
