Surfing New York Comic Con
Oscars schmascars. New York Comic Con is in full swing here in the Big Apple. The Slug stopped by the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center to check out all the geekiness. Stan Lee was auditioning people for the second season of his "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" Sci-Fi channel reality show. Stephen Colbert was signing copies of his "Tek Jansen" comic book. And the Fantastic Four were showing off their video game based on their upcoming sequel, which will introduce the Silver Surfer on the big screen.
The Slug was privy to a special look at the Wii and Xbox 360 versions of the game, which featured superpowered and superfun-looking combative co-op play of all four heroes. Our biggest prob? Although "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is just in alpha — that's what comes before beta — the developers said it wasn't likely that players would actually be able to assume the role of the Silver Surfer. Boo. Hopefully, that's something Dr. Richards can add before the game is finished.
