But maybe you have to pretend, so you might as well do that in a dog suit with a bowler hat. Say what? Alright, stay with us for a minute, because we’re talking about the “This Is Fine” dog, from KC Green’s Gunshow comic “On Fire”. Keep reading for the background on this iconic comic–“icomic”?

Pokémon GO hit the US Android and Apple app stores last week and, well, if you’ve seen an influx of people walking the sidewalks with their phones in front of them, that’s why. This new AR game turns regular smart phone users into real life Pokémon trainers – you can walk down the street by your house and catch a cute Pidgey hanging out by the mailbox or you can go to the local park in your neighborhood and defend your territory at the gym, battling your Pokémon against others in the area. While you’re catching ‘em all, you have to look the part. We know that the video game series will be as popular as ever this Halloween, so here are some Pokémon costumes to get you ready for October.

Attack on Titan (aka 進撃の巨人 or Shingeki no Kyojin) made a colossal splash on pop culture the last few years. From the pages of the unstoppable Japanese manga to the anime series you couldn’t peel your bloodshot eyes away from, Attack on Titan took the world by gnashing-toothed storm. And the storm only seems to intensify with time!
There was the live-action movie making a footprint on Comic-Con, wild speculation about the true nature and origins of Titans, and “leaked” information that brewed the perfect storm for fans and YouTube/Wikia speculators.

Again, proceed with caution, but if you can still enjoy a show or manga with a little bit of the backstory in your noggin, then spoil away friends!

These days we see Minions everywhere...taking up entire toy aisles, printed on packages of fruit snacks, starring in internet memes, and, of course, in the movie Minions, which has now been in theaters for nearly two weeks ( if you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out!). Minions are cute, which is probably why they are everywhere, but how much do we really know about them?...

This Friday, we can catch our favorite little henchmen in their new movie, Minions. We last saw Stuart, Kevin, and Bob in the ending credits of Despicable Me 2 as they were auditioning for their roles in the upcoming film. Minions is actually a prequel to the successful Despicable Me films and will rewind the clock all the way to the B.G. (before Gru) years. The movie will follow Stuart,...

Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away (the HalloweenCostumes.com office), we spent one not-out-of-the-ordinary day at work listening to our favorite Disney fairytales while checking out our Disney costumes, and our minds soon wandered off into a land of dreams and uh…beer! What if some of the most classic Disney stories had their own beers?? What would they be called? What...
