Boston Comic Con 2013’s most popular guest was, without a doubt, Scott Snyder. We had the opportunity to ask Snyder a few quick questions about his current work on Batman, currently in its ‘Zero Year’ story arc:

The four forms of Deoxys
What better way to start off your summer than with a Pokémon event? Unlike recent Events, this distribution is solely for Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. What is the Pokémon being given away? Only the incredibly powerful psychic-type, Deoxys. Keep reading to learn about Deoxys’ stats and how to get this Pokémon.
The second you look at Marvel Heroes you may notice a stark similarity to Blizzard’s legendary RPG series Diablo. The camera gives the player an arial view of the map, there are hordes of enemies to defeat, and loot is randomly dropped by fallen baddies. Diablo has a clear influence on Gazillion Entertainment’s new MMORPG, but based on the 40 minutes I had with the game it’s clear that the team has a much different vision in mind.

For those that attended PAX East 2013, you probably saw the new foot controller being showcased. Game&Comic reserved an interview spot to get first-hand experience on the Stinky Footboard PC Controller. We sat down with Co-Founder and President of Stelulu Technologies, Stéphane Rivard, who explained to us why this controller is the future of gaming.

Hey everyone! As I have said before, I am a huge X-Men movie buff. Although the movies may not be a totally accurate representation of the comics, I have always felt that they do a great job making superhero movies fun for all. Enjoy the trailer! The movie hits theatres July 26th, 2013.
Square Enix had a bunch of games featured at PAX East, but we were actually able to nail down an exclusive interview and see a hands-off demo of the upcoming Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX. For those that are fans of this series, but are confused on the order of the games, you may want to first read this blog that I wrote earlier explaining the order of the series. A hands-off demo means that Square Enix had a representative that showed us parts of the game. We were allowed to ask questions, but no photographs or video could be taken. We did learn a lot about the game though:
Supergiant Games, the developer of the smash-hit title Bastion, announced its new sci-fi action/RPG Transistor.
We don’t know too much about Transistor, but based off the trailer it looks like it play similarly to Bastion. Transistor will be shown at PAX East, so hopefully I’ll be able to check it out. In the mean time watch the trailer below, and get excited.
Billy uses ridiculous (get it?) methods to catch and shoot fish.
I’d like to introduce you to Billy. I don’t really know how old he is or where he’s from, but I do know that he likes fishing. However he doesn’t fish like everybody else. He doesn’t use fancy lures and live bait to reel in those pesky water-breathers. Instead Billy uses top-of-the-line fishing equipment complete with chainsaws, hairdyers, and toasters. Once he casts his line he tries to guide his lure to deepest depths of the ocean and catch as many fish as possible on the way up. He then throws them in the air and shoots them for money. Billy also enjoys posting on the social media tool Byrdr and updating his Fish-o-pedia log.
