Lorne | Another Write Up On Nerdist!!!
Hey ya'll!
A couple weeks ago I released the 3rd and final installment into my Star Wars Drum Cover Trilogy! The saga is now complete. But, not before Nerdist got their hands on it and wrote an awesome review about the 3rd installment. They've given a review for all 3. It's been exciting to have a juggernaut in the nerd community recognize my work as I bring my love of nerd life and drum life together as one. Below is a link to their review and my video (if you haven't watched it yet) is embedded in the review.
Cosplayer of the Week | Kennedy AKA AgeOfConquest
Here is some background info about Kennedy AKA AgeOfConquest:
Only been cosplaying for about 2 years
Favorite cosplay thus far has been my Ryuoko because I got to step out almost completely naked in public and just be accepted as an artist and a fellow geek. There is nothing more surreal than being completely visible to your people and having them love you for it
The cosplay I'm most looking forward to is my lucina for the next couple of months
Some of my top series are fire emblem, legend of zelda and final fantasy
I'm a Nintendo and PC gamer
Go and give her a follow at her social media links below!!

I just wanted to thank Kennedy, AgeOfConquest, for allowing us to share her cosplays with all of you. Make sure you scroll back up and follow her on both Instagram and Facebook and show her some love!

Planet Comicon Special Guest Announcement | Kevin Eastman
Co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, publisher of Heavy Metal
Kevin Eastman is a comic book artist and writer best known as the co-creator the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Peter Laird. He is also the publisher of the Heavy Metal magazine.
Eastman and Laird self-published the first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1984. They picked the company name Mirage Studios because, Eastman said, “there wasn’t an actual studio, only kitchen tables and couches with lap boards.” By September 1985, their first issue had received three additional printings. The comic book was extremely popular. The later television show and movies cemented the Turtles as one of the most popular pop culture franchises ever.
Eastman was a long-time fine of the fantasy magazine Heavy Metal. Eastman purchased the magazine in January 1992, revitalizing it with a new editorial vision. Eastman sold the magazine in January 2014. Eastman continues to serve as publisher and investor in the magazine.

Our Very Own Lorne With His Trilogy Ending Star Wars Drum Cover!!
That's Not a Christmas Movie!!
Merry Christmas nerds and nerdettes and welcome to another post by your favorite bearded nerd! As Christmas looms just around the corner, televisionsaround the world are swamped with your typical Christmas time movies. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and all the classics shown five to six times a week. There's some of us, though, that get a little tired of the classics and want something a little more....unconventional. While timeless classics like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story and Home Alone are on my "must watch" list, there are others that aren't considered Christmas movies that I have to make sure to catch in order for it to be a Merry Christmas.
Batman Returns
What better way to start the list than with Batman himself. When you think Christmas movies, Batman doesn't come to mind for most. In Batman Returns, Christmas seems to be the harbinger of evil. The Cobblepot's throw their deformed infant son into the Gotham River, where it floats to the abandoned Gotham Zoo and is found by penguins. After many years of hiding in the sewars, The Penguin makes his appearance. And when does this happen? Christmas time!
Gremlins
There are three rules you must abide by when dealing with Mogwai. Never expose them to bright lights or sunlight, never let them get wet, and never feed them after midnight. Gizmo is a gift to Billy, who tries to follow the rules as best he can. Leave it to your friends for things to go wrong when water is spilled onto Gizmo and five more mogwai spawn off his back. These Mogwai aren't as friendly as Gizmo. They trick Billy into feeding them after midnight, after which they turn into, you guessed it, Gremlins. They wreck havoc on the town, hurting and even KILLING people in humorous ways (the rocket stair lift comes to mind), until none other than Gizmo defeats the Gremlins. So if you have trouble with toys not working correctly or other things go wrong on Christmas day, check every room and under every bed, because there may just be a Gremlin in your house.
Ironman 3
Bet you forgot about this one. Lord knows I've tried. While this film relied a bit more on thriller elements, it didn't lack in action with the huge Iron Fleet battle scene. All of this set on a Christmas time backdrop does bump it onto the list. While Tony deals with PTSD after what occured in The Avengers, it sorta lends to some of the stresses the season can bring on some through the holidays.
Leathal Weapon
I know you didn't think of this one since it's set in sunny California with its palm trees, beaches and babes in bikini's. This buddy-cop classic IS set with a Christmas backdrop. The Murtaugh's home nicely decorated, Christmas tree placed infront of the big picture window. Just in time for a squad car to come crashing into the living room, destroying any decorations in its path. Gives new meaning to "arose such a clatter", huh?
Die Hard
C'mon. Did you honestly think I would leave Die Hard off the list? John McClane, Hans Grubber, Nakatomi Plaza...do I really need to go into this one at all? "Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho."
And there you have it folks! My unconventional Christmas movie list! What are some of your not-so-Christmas Christmas movies you have to watch? Sound off in the comments section!
Justice League | Ezra Miller's Flash Joins Batman, Wonder Woman in New Photo (EW.COM)
We’ve seen Batman battle Superman. We watched Deadshot form an unlikely alliance with Harley Quinn. But the team-up DC Comics’ fans are really waiting for is when the entire Justice League comes together to save the world.
“I’m super happy with the chemistry of my league of justice doers,” says director Zack Snyder (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), who’s in the middle of editing the November release.
Justice League will delve into the details of how these individual heroes readjust their egos to fight as a collective. Turns out, aligning these disparate — and outsized — personalities can be as difficult as fighting bad guys.
Take Ezra Miller’s version of the Flash, the league’s overly excitable kid brother who uses humor to mask his pain. “Flash is Ringo Starr,” says Miller, pictured here alongside allies the Dark Knight (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). “He annoys everybody, but he doesn’t have any specific beef with anyone.”
Miller also offers up Flash’s blunt assessment of his fellow leaguers. “Uncle Fish Curry [Aquaman] is very grumpy. Dad [Batman] gets grumpy too. (He’s had a long life of fighting crime.) Wonder Woman is very considerate, so even though she’s annoyed with the Flash, she’s still very compassionate.” Yeesh. Don’t get him started on Superman.
Justice League hits theaters on Nov. 17, 2017.

Cosplayer Of The Week | Sydney Marie
I have been officially cosplaying for about a year now. My first con was NYCC2013, I dressed up as Harley from the Arkham City Videogame, and was hooked right away. I grew up in theater and have always looked for a reason to dress up in life. My closet is full of Kigurumis, costumes, and random shirts (mostly TeeTurtle right now). I hope to one day be invited to San Diego Comic-Con as a Featured Cosplayer.
Batman the Animated Series was my first glimpse into the Comic Book world, And as I got older I would hide in the school library during recess reading any comics I could find. Batman of course being my first love.
At 14 years old I worked at a Chinese food restaurant where myself and one other girl were the only ones who were not Asian. Our jobs were to answer the phone and take orders. She introduced me to Manga and Anime. After each shift we worked together, she would take me to Barns n Noble and we would pick up one or two mangas. Some of my favorite manga's have to be Kaikan Phrase, Absolute Boyfriend, Sword Art Online, No Game No Life, and Fruit Basket. My top Animes are Inuyasha, Sword Art Online, Full Metal Brotherhood, Sailor Moon Crystal, Fairy Tail and Death Note. She's also the one who introduced me to Lolita and Harajuku fashion, even though at the time I had no idea what it was, just that it was really cute.
Video games are my other love. My first system was a Sega Genesis which I only had one game for, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. After that I had a Gameboy Color for Pokémon Red, until my little brother decided it was a shovel for the sandbox. Now I own a Nintendo 3DS, A Green Nintendo 64, Wii U, PS2, PS3, PS4, and an Xbox360. My favorite system has to be PlayStation, the controllers fit amazing in my hands. Xbox still has a stronger online community but I'm not a fan of their controllers. My favorite games have to be God of War, and the Batman games. Nothing Beats Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros when you have friends over, but God of War and Batman are my absolute favorite. Games I've been playing lately are Battlefield 1 and Overwatch. I also really like the Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy and Ratchet and Clank. but I'm Praying that they re-master Jak and Daxter because breaking out the PS2 every time to play it is a real pain.
For me cosplay is more then just dressing up and taking pictures. Its a way to make new friends and connect with people who have the same interests. its amazing to have such an amazing community of nerds and geeks alike =D
As for this upcoming year I have about 12 cons in my line up and I'm working on about 6 different costumes right now including a new Poison Ivy and Happy from FairyTail. I always post what Cons I'm at and what I'm dressed as on My Instagram. So if you see me at a Con don't be afraid to say Hi.
Here are some of Sydney's amazing cosplays!! Lara Croft, Yoko Littner, Harley Quinn, Ash and Poison Ivy!
I just wanted to take a quick moment to thank Sydney for allowing us to share her amazing cosplays with you our readers! Make sure you go up and follow her on her various social media to keep up with her 2017 Con Schedule! Hopefully we will be hearing from Sydney throughout 2017 and can share about some of the cons she attends! If you liked this post please make sure you let us know!

Super Mario Run | Live-Action Trailer
I Loved This Scene!!! | Team America
Cosplayer of the Week | Madisson
I have only been cosplaying for about a year now! I have always loved halloween and cosplay gives me a good excuse to get dressed up all year! But honestly I'd wear my sequin shorts every day if it were even slightly socially acceptable! The first con I ever attended was Wizard World in Ohio and I have been hooked ever since! It's currently my dream to be able to go to the San Diego comic con! I would obviously love to go and see all the cosplay, but honestly I'd be geeking out more over all the books!
Comic books are really what got me started cosplaying. I decided they would be a "good cheap hobby". Boy was I wrong! I somehow managed to get BOTH my grails last month though(Batman Adventures 12 and Harley Quinn #1 Adam Hughes variant), so I'm dangerously close to rounding out a few series! I am so fortunate to have a comic book store near me who indulges my Harley obsession. Plus they let me cosplay to promote the shop! A girl has gotta pay for those variants somehow!
With me cosplay is more of a lifestyle then just dressing up for pictures and conventions. You can tell from my ista that I am Harley obsessed, and I like to work that into my everyday life! Hence my instagram name everyday_harleyquinn. I typically end up making my clothes, because things that I want just don't exist! I'm not one who is content to just wear a shirt with Harley's face. I'd have to say my favorite cosplay and everyday cosplay pieces are my Suicide Squad jackets. I have rep my puddin on the daily afterall!
I do have a few upcoming non everyday cosplays that I'm super excited about! I actually haven't shared them with anyone yet! The first is Playboy bunny Harley complete with red a black ears, as well as custom cufflinks of my mistah j! I have been wanting to do this cosplay for years, so I couldn't be more thrilled! My other cosplay I am keeping under wraps for now! I haven't seen anyone else do it yet, so I'm aiming to do it first and best! Stay tuned!!!!
I actually have a quite a few other nerdy hobbies now that I'm thinking about it! I love anime and manga! My favorite of both is now, and will forever be InuYasha! 13 years later and nothing has come close to taking its place in my heart. I also have a thing for figures! Seriously my collection is getting out of control! Oh and my weakness has got to be gashapons! They are all just too adorable to resist! I have mostly Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, and Harley figures, but I'll buy anything that has an adorable anime girl!
I'm also a pretty big fan of video games! The more Mario Kart the better!!!! I actually only invested in my Wii U so I could play Mario Kart 8. My all time favorite system is Super Nintendo, though I don't have one of my own! Growing up, and even now, I really don't have anyone to play video games with, which is quite ridiculous if you think about it! Because I mean who doesn't like Mario and Donkey Kong?! Am I right?! But that's enough on that rant!
Overall, I'd say I'm just your normal average certified nutso hopelessly in love with a murderous psychopathic clown ;)
I just wanted to thank Madisson for allowing us to share her awesome Harley Quinn cosplays with all of our readers. Be on the look out for new Harley cosplays from her as well as a future FaceBook group. Make sure you scroll back up and like her on Instagram and show her some love! We hope to work with her in the future!
