Doctor Who's Julie Gardner Tells io9 The Secret Of Keeping Captain Jack Happy

The unsung hero of time-travel show Doctor Who and its spin-offs isn't K-9 the tin dog, it's executive producer Julie Gardner. She's kept the flashing light from flying off the top of the Police Box time machine since the beginning. We were lucky enough to sit down with her at Comic-Con and ask her about Doctor Who's success, the evolution of Torchwood, and why Sarah Jane Smith is still . The interview includes spoilers for the Sarah Jane Adventures. More »

Press shut out of panels, celebrities turned away from parties, comic publishers vowing never to return and 125,000 fans all in one building for four days without end. Every year, San Diego Comic-Con ends with people griping that it has gotten to be too big and that something has to change, but was this the year that lived up to the complaints? More »

Marvel Brings Con, Good Taste, To Standstill With Fashion Show

Yes, I know that we showed you some of the best Comic-Con fan costumes yesterday, but that wasn't the only fashion parade during last week's nerdfest. Marvel Comics - never one to play down a marketing opportunity - held their own fashion show during the con, and we've got the pics to prove it under the jump. More »

Sarah Connor Producer Tells io9 The Terminators' Deepest Secrets

Josh Friedman is the creator of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, one of last season's most interesting scifi shows, complete with time traveling, kickass Terminator fights, and Heathers riffs. Plus, next season, the cast will be joined by Shirley "Garbage" Manson and Busy "Freaks And Geeks" Phillips. We had a chance to sit down with Friedman for a one-on-one talk at Comic-Con, to talk about where the show is going. And he told us the one word you'll never hear on his show. More »

JJ Abrams Tells io9 How to Make a Monster Awesome

After JJ Abrams had finished answering all the official questions about his new series Fringe, and his upcoming Star Trek prequel, I had just one crucial burning question left. About monsters.
