FX Networks has announced that FX Fearless Forum will be anchored by the American Horror Story: 1984 – Face the Darkness activation. FX’s American Horror Story activations are popular with fans at Comic-Con and 2019 will likely be no different. Face the Darkness taps into the essence of the hit series’ ninth installation, American Horror Story: 1984, premiering Wednesday, September 18, with an immersive excursion featuring classic tropes of slasher horror, augmented by night vision goggles to turn up the terror.

FX Fearless Forum takes over the network’s traditional space adjacent to the Convention Center at this year’s annual San Diego Comic-Con and will also feature activations including the What We Do in the Shadows Lair, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Sunscreen Zone, and the Archer O2 Station.

FX Fearless Forum will also light up the night with a spectacular, awe-inspiring projection mapped gallery display highlighting FX Network’s programming with stunning visuals. Produced by FX Design in collaboration with BARTKRESA studio, this nightly display will dazzle fans with instant share-worthy moments.

Fans will be able to pre-register for a RFID badge, which is required to gain entry to the activation, on FXSDCC.com in advance (and on-site). Registration & badge collection will be required to check into and participate in activations for premium swag, time-slot reservations and other surprises.

Review: Robyn Hood #7

Posted on February 17, 2015 by

Fans of Zenescope‘s Grimm Fairy Tales series might have been a bit surprised when Robyn Hood was chosen as one of the first characters for her own ongoing series. They equally might not have been so surprised when the series’ debut was less than stellar. In a comic world with both Green Arrow and Hawkeye being quite popular, how could another series focusing on a superhero archer succeed, especially one that is from a smaller publisher. Slowly though, the series has managed to find itself, culminating in this latest issue which is the best of the series so far, even though admittedly there is still some way to go.

This issue follows once again Robyn and Marian as they rent out their somewhat unique skills to help a woman find her boyfriend who has seemingly joined a cult. Although this remains the focus of this issue, it also splits into two separate segments. In one Robyn hunts down the cult, but the other focuses more on Marian and her struggle to fit into life on Earth and not in Myst. At first the idea of yet another lesbian witch seemed a bit stale in terms of the inspiration for this series, which at its heart could be described as a female Green Arrow plus Willow from the Buffyverse. Instead there is something a bit more to this particular story line as Marian summons the courage to ask a girl out on a date, and then as the two get to know each other, that she opens up about how her life used to be. Although this focuses on her homosexuality, the theme is equally strong to match a lot of other problems where people feel ostracized from their communities because of their identities. While this acts as a nice interlude, it is paced well with the impending danger to Robyn as she finds and infiltrates the cult, just in time for what looks like pretty mean battle.

The end result is still not great, but it is nice to see this series moving in the right direction. As opposed to some other nascent series such as this one, they start off strong and then lose their momentum. This on the other hand seems to be building as it grows, and is relying on both stronger characters and better story lines. It started as an unconventional choice for a series, but slowly is becoming its own entity and not relying on the bigger universe for its own thrills.

Preview: Toy News Round-Up

Posted on June 16, 2014 by

Wow, lots of stuff popped up lately. Had some things going on in life and I got a little behind. Hell of a week for that to happen. So here’s the round-up.

Mattel showed off the first ever Star Wars themed Hot Wheels vehicle. This toy will be at SDCC in July. The roadster is designed to look like Darth Vader and comes packaged inside his own lightsaber. The package features red glowing lights, lightsaber sounds and Vader’s trademark heavy breathing.

NECA reveals the next 18″ Jager from Pacific Rim…….Battle-Damaged Gipsy Danger. Gipsy comes ready for battle with the famous Plasma Cannon that lights up AND swivels. The LED lights in the chest and head from the original version make a return. This behemoth is ready to defend the world this September for about $100.

Bandai has taken the wraps off a great new addition to the S.H. Figuarts series……….Star Wars! The first figures out of the gate in 2015 look to be a Stormtrooper and Dath Vader himself. It’s pretty apparent, from my other posts, just how much I love the S.H Figuarts line, and getting Star Wars figures now makes me extremely happy. I can’t wait for a side-by-side review with the Black Series Stormtrooper and Vader. Based on these early pictures, I’ve got a feeling who the winner will be, do you?

In more S.H. Figuarts news, Bandai gives a first look at the Mega Man Zero star, Zero. Loaded with weapons from the series, Zero comes with; Z-Saber, the laser pistol Buster Shot, and the Triple Rod. Zero also gets a shield accessory and the traditional interchangeable expressions and hands. Zero hits in November for around $50.

At the Tokyo Toy Show, Takara displayed the first painted version of the latest Masterpiece Transformer, Ultra Magnus. The quality of the figure looks great, as does the scale. He does look a little bulky at the shoulders and legs. More looks are needed at this figure before judgment is passed. But wow, Ultra Magnus!

To close things off, an entry into the WTF?!?! category.

Factory Entertainment announced this piece for SDCC: Archer – Sterling Archer Tuxedo Action Figure. No words, I have no words. This is a variant of the regular Archer figure that will be released and it looks like THIS?!?! Were they going for a retro style here or trying to mimic the look of the show? Either way, they appear to have missed the mark. I was worried about these when they debuted, but they were early, and I assumed they would improve, they have not. This is a big dissapointment to Archer fans who were looking forward to great figures from a great show. Thankfully, there’s only 1500 of these and if you want to toss away $25 they’ll be available at SDCC in July.
