January will be the month when I will be rolling out plenty of lists of the best movies of 2011, and also probably looking forward to the great movies to be hitting screens in 2012. First up on the list is my favourite genre, unsurprisingly, SciFi. 2011 was a great year for SciFi, as we saw plenty of offerings – from the alien comedy Paul, which involved a lot of swearing and pot smoking, to the lovey dovey Adjustment Bureau chemistry of Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. We saw Justin Timberlake getting all barcoded, and even Bollywood had its fair share of spandex. And yes, the Thing prequel came and went. It is easier to just point out the garbage ones, as these keep hitting the screens with an alarming regularity. But at 9e3k, only the best make it through. So behold, as we announce the..

This week’s Torchwood episode gave us more buzz words than we could handle, a geographical impossibility in the shape of a cliffhanger and lastly, a very annoying Rhys. This was what RTD had to offer as the penultimate episode of this 10 episode story arc. And judging by the looks of it, the series finale should be jampacked like a Tokyo subway, as there’s a hell lotta stuff ;eft to be resolved. Episode 9 - The Gathering, was also about more new characters (and we thought we already had enough of them). There’s the family heads, who look as cold as Arnie’s Mr. Freeze, and speak in idioms. Then there’s the annoying Category 1 collecting man, who is hell-bent on collecting Geraint Cooper, even when Overflow Camps are filled to the brim. And oh, I forgot to mention, this is now set 2 months after Episode 8. So, we are no longer in a world where people are dealing with the miracle, and its multi-faceted consequences. Instead, this is a world where recession has transformed into depression, China has closed down its borders and US is considering to do the same, insurance companies have gone bust, CIA rations fuel and the world has just accepted its fucked up state. Quite a bold move no doubt, but does the rest of the episode take advantage of this move? Let’s found out on the other side of the jump.
Join the discussion and we have a long list of speculations about the finalé ; SPOILERS

Apart from the cosplay and the celeb spotting that we have covered so far, the last vertex of the triangle of awesome things that I look for in comic con, is the array of coll stuff that collectors, traders and other passionate geeks bring under one roof. Be it from rare posters to Issue#1 original DC Comics, or exclusive and official movie collectibles, Comic Con, as usual is filled to the brim with such awesomeness, and as we are committed to bring all this awesomeness to you, we have listed down some of the best ones below.

Any Comic Con event is incomplete without its fanatic and detailed cosplay section. This year’s London Comic Con had some of the finest of them lot. After all, its only at an event like this, where you can possibly see Batman and Doctor Who sharing a fag, and Captain Jack Sparrow texting, whilst StormTroopers look down upon Trekkies in yellow spacesuits and term them as – fucking nerds. Yep, it all happens here. Not to forget the awesome anime fanbois and fangirls. Here it is then -
