Our own Anthony Falcone is a member and makes a few appearances on the video. Unfortunately the video can't be embedded so you'll need to go to their website.

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For Trailer Two

I’m really not sure about this film. After watching the trailer below everything looks overly stylized, over processed and excessively digital. Have a look and judge for yourself.

Toronto ComiCon is done for another year. The vendors have packed up and headed home. Convention goers are busy reading those comics they found, or setting up those brand new action figures. And everybody is planning for Fan Expo in August. I was able to attend the ComiCon on Saturday only. Unfortunately my schedule didn't allow for me to be there the other two days. But I think I was able to get good insight on the show, even with just attending that one day.

Toronto Comicon 2014: Friday
