  • August 6, 2007

With our suitcase still not unpacked from San Diego, or packed for Chicago, we had a pretty busy week on The Big ComicMix Broadcast.  Life after the SDCC seems to be as busy as ever, with a lot of things both New & Cool we covered for you…

• ReBoot, the much loved CGI series from earlier this decade is coming back as a movie trilogy! Right now, the offer is open to different producers to submit their ideas for the direction of the revival – and you can see (and vote on) these choices here

• Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall game that premiered at SDCC can be previewed at the FusionFall website. If you are interested, you can sign-up for a chance to participate in beta testing for the game.

• If making movies seems more your thing, The Ultimate Star Wars Fanboy (or Girl!) contest is up and runs through August 31st here or even here. As we told you, it ties into the release of the Fanboys major motion picture, set to come out in January of next year.

• If you haven’t seen the MySpace version of Dark Horse Presents you can take a look here. Among the first works presented is "Sugar Shock" from Josh Whedon and artist Fabio Moon. There’s also a great new story from Rick Geary!

• If you got excited about the return of Snoopy, then take a minute to see more from Namco Networks here. In addition, they carry a lot of retro games (Pac-Man anyone?) for your mobile phone.

WizardWorld Chicago begins on Thursday, and by now you have probably guessed we will be there with microphone in hand. Take a look at the guest list here then drop us a comment and tell us who YOU would like to hear from on The Big ComicMix Broadcast. We will be streaming direct from the floor, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, and of course there will be news and photos right here at ComicMix.com!
