Cool Pics From Around the Web: D23, George A. Romero & Comic-Con pt. 1

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

We live in an age of sharing, where every moment is captured and sent into the world for liking, commenting, judging and making us feel like we have more friends than we do. As a result, the world seems so much smaller than it is, and one revolution to come out of the social media age is that we can connect with some of our icons and heroes with the click of a button, getting a glimpse into the elusive world of the show business. Here with the feature Cool Pics From Around the Web we will assemble some of the coolest, funniest, and possibly revealing photographs of the week from some of the world’s biggest stars. Don’t worry, no food pics in sight…unless someone made a dope cake in the shape of R2-D2.

This was a busy week for folks taking pictures. The big event of the week was D23, which meant Marvel was dishing out goods left and right – with Yondu himself, Michael Rooker, showing his MARY POPPINS love. Last weekend also saw the passing of horror icon George A. Romero, and plenty of stars were paying their respects. As for events, a small gathering kicked off a few days ago known as Comic-Con, and plenty of stars were there showing off a ton of fun stuff for the fans.

Thanks to everyone who came out to #BlackPanther's first #D23expo signing today!

The cast of the new Avengers movie 'Infinity War'. And what a cast it is! Minus a few key players, here we are on the stage of D23 expo showing brand new footage to all the Marvel fans! 7000 screaming fans in the audience! It was electric! This film is going to be a cinematic event. #nebula #halfsuperherohalfsupervillian #ambiguous

Here's to the great George Romero, the man who started it all! A true legend and a huge inspiration. Rest In Peace.

Here's Simon Pegg, me and Greg Nicotero on the set of 'Land Of The Dead' with the undisputed King Of The Zombies, Mr George Romero. I wrote some personal thoughts on this man, without whom I would not enjoy the film career I have. Link to article in bio.

It's been a busy few weeks getting this art finished in time for two back to back cons! But I'm really happy with the way they all turned out and it's so fun hearing people's reaction to them. This poster is being given away today at the Marvel booth at SDCC. Who's excited for Infinity War? #infinitywar #avengers #sdccexclusive #sdcc #robertdowneyjr #ironman #zoesaldana #gamora #marvel #marvelcinematicuniverse
