BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Yes, Comic Con was last week, but does the event ever really end when you’ve got the Comic-Con Museum?
Go see ’em
Comic Con is undoubtably one of the biggest pop culture events in the world, and that one week(ish) in July just might be the most magical time of the year for pop culture. But did you know that there’s a museum right smack-dab in San Diego that celebrates Comic-Con International all year long?
That, as you might’ve guessed, is the Comic-Con Museum. Located at 2131 Pan American Plaza, the Comic-Con Museum serves up special exhibits throughout the year, and is just about to refresh with a brand new one called The Myth of Superheroes.
The institution just revealed both that new show, which debuts in September, and the following event, which will be March 2025’s Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder: Where Science Meets Fiction.
The Myth of Superheroes – World Premiere Exhibition
- Opening September 2024
- This exhibition is an invitation to explore an incredible world in which people can fly, read minds, control time and the magnetic field, climb walls, and work magic. Reconstruction has transported the myths and legends of the past to the present day: from Hercules to Superman, from the Amazons to Wonder Woman, from Mercury to the Flash, the legends change guise but keep faith with their mission to guide new generations towards a better future, where action and battle are the other side of a coin that demands morality and responsibility. The exhibition displays a rich selection of over 400 objects in which authentic replicas of archaeological statues and busts of ancient gods and heroes dialogue with comics, original drawings, modern statues, and action figures in a highly innovative exhibition pathway for adults and children.
- For the very first time, the scenery is enriched by video projections and graphics in which the superheroes and their superpowers are shown as the result of the conscious and unconscious imagination of the human mind, transferred into realistic images thanks to the innovative and unlimited use of AI resources.
Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder: Where Science Meets Fiction – U.S. Premiere
- Opening March 2025
- Calling all curious minds, future scientists, and Doctor Who fans! This exhibit invites visitors to experience the Doctor’s adventures, come face to face with a selection of iconic characters, and explore some of the worlds visited on screen, all whilst learning about the real-life science behind those memorable moments. Find out if time travel is actually possible and delve into the TARDIS Tech Room to examine the technological capabilities of the Doctor’s gadgets and gizmos. Uncover the secrets of black holes and wormholes, consider the possibilities of life on other planets, and discover the science behind why the TARDIS is bigger on the inside. A visit to the Monster Vault is an opportunity to come face to face with many of the Doctor’s terrifying alien adversaries—and learn about their connections with real science.
- Exploring a diverse selection of exciting scientific topics, the exhibit features a wealth of iconic props and sets and a unique collection of behind-the-scenes resource materials from the world’s longest-running science fiction show.
