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.

If there’s one moody spooky 80s vampire flick we absolutely love (who are we kidding- we love a lot of them), it’s Joel Schumacher’s “The Lost Boys.” Mixing a classic horror with a New Wave sensibility and one of the best soundtracks of that year, these teen vamps who terrorize Santa Carla didn’t know what hit them when they came toe to toe with Michael, his brother Sam, and the comic book shop owners- The Frog Brothers.Turns out, one of the Frog Brothers, Corey Feldman, just dropped some pretty great news on his personal Twitter account- that a Frog Brother…
