Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

That thing when you say out loud “I really don’t need any more Loungefly backpacks, UNLESS….” Or is that just an us thing? Either way, you’ve GOT to see their brand new exclusive to Universal Studios theme park locations and a certain UK comic book shop.

It hits theaters May 23rd, 2025.
Disneyland loves doing their special seasonal offerings. There’s the large-scale food and drink festivals (California Adventure has the Lunar New Year celebration right now), special ticketed events (like Sweethearts Nite, which is also happening right now), Halloween, and others. But one of the more popular in the last few years, probably since Galaxy’s Edge opened, is Season of the Force. As you can imagine, Season of the Force brings even more “Star Wars” to the parks. We’ve seen additional walk-around face characters, new interactive shows, ride and attraction plans being revealed, and of course, new merch.Disneyland has released a tease…
We were all shocked when news broke last week of a reboot / revival of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer.” True, the character did know additional ‘seasons’ in comic book form, it seemed like we’d never see the Chosen One Buffy Summers again. But that’s changing. A series has been pitched and seemingly approved by Hulu. Oscar winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao is set to direct a pilot, which was written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman. And, it sure seems like Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning. “So….. you might have heard some news this week, but I realize you haven’t heard from me. Three years…
We’ve heard some interesting teasers thus far about the next chapter in the “Jurassic Park” film franchise. Obviously now they’re all called “Jurassic World,” which is where “Rebirth” comes in. This is yet another tale of humans having some wild reason to return to one of the InGEN locations where dinosaurs have taken over and still run wild. Sound familiar? It’s sort of the plot to every single one of these films after the first. Not to sound too down on a project before we even see it, but the new trailer isn’t really inspiring any kind of excitement in…
We cannot believe we’re writing this, but the original Black Sabbath – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – will play for the first time in 20 years. The band will take to the stage to headline BACK TO THE BEGINNING, on July 5th at Villa Park. The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see Ozzy Osbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow. “It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning… time for me to give back to the place where I…
At long last, the First Family of comics has come home to Marvel Studios. And WE ARE SO EXCITED to finally share the official teaser for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” Matt Shakman (“WandaVision“) directs.
