Comic-Con 2025 Set To Kick Off In A Year That Some Major Superheroes Are Sitting Out
Tens of thousands of fans–many in costumes–will descend Thursday on Comic-Con International, the four day pop culture spectacle that will feature updates on the new Predator movie, Alien series, and a special appearance by George Lucas. Just don't expect major news about the future of Marvel's movie slate or what's next for the hit relaunch of DC's high-flying Superman franchise. Both studios are sitting out Comic-Con 2025 as far as their film slates go. An estimated 135,000 people will attend the convention, which will greet Lucas on Sunday for his first Comic-Con appearance. The Star Wars creator will discuss his new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art that will open next year in Los Angeles. Fans of the Alien and Predator franchises will have plenty to cheer. Elle Fanning, star of Predator: Badlands, will discuss the film at Comic-Con's massive Hall H this week. FX will also bring the stars and creators of Alien: Earth, a series that will unleash the Xenomorph species on Earth next month. Alien: Earth will be one of the projects that brings a massive interactive experience to San Diego with a replica of spacecraft from the series. The attraction will feature what's described as a terrifying mission at night. Marvel may not be presenting new movies, but it will have a Fantastic Four: First Steps attraction near the convention, a tie-in to Friday's release of the latest attempt to successfully launch its first family in theaters. Thousands of fans got a sneak peek at the convention's 460,000 square foot (42,700 square meter) exhibitor section, which features exclusive merchandise, comic book art, and exhibits from brands like Star Wars, Lego, Nickelodeon, Paramount and more.

Josh Allen, Bills welcome being under the 'Hard Knocks' spotlight in opening training camp
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen was reminded how much additional scrutiny the Buffalo Bills are under this summer upon reaching the interview tent and noticing the HBO series Hard Knocks camera crew ready to start filming. 'You guys are everywhere,' the quarterback said with a smile as the Bills opened training camp in suburban Rochester, New York, on Wednesday. No stranger to the spotlight, the reigning NFL MVP, who married Hollywood star Hailee Steinfeld in May and signed one of the league's richest contracts in March, joked about being mindful of his language while being mic'd up during the 90-minute practice. 'Yeah, I tried not to cuss as much,' Allen said. 'Just making sure that anything that I say my mom would be OK with.' Allen's trying to keep things rated PG, and the Bills are welcoming the opportunity to pull back the curtain and reveal whatever the cameras might capture – warts and all – as insight into what's allowed the franchise to flourish entering its ninth season under coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane. 'We have nothing to hide. We are who we are,' said McDermott, who ended the team's 17-season playoff drought in his first year in 2017 and guided Buffalo to six consecutive playoff appearances and five straight AFC East titles. Just don't call the Bills' five-week Hard Knocks series run opening on August 5 a distraction. 'The increased noise, if you will, is maybe in some ways good practice for us to really hone in and get our focus where it needs to be,' McDermott said. The series trailer HBO released Wednesday shows a confident, determined team with a clip of Allen saying: 'We're going to do whatever we can do bring a Lombardi back here to western New York.' Playoff shortcomings: Successful as the Bills have been in posting double-digit wins in each of their past six seasons, they've come up short in the playoffs, and usually against the Chiefs. Four of Buffalo's past five playoff losses have been against Kansas City, including a 32-29 loss in the AFC championship game in January. 'Ultimately, you got to go out and do it,' Beane said before noting how Allen and other Bills veterans can build on their experiences. 'I'm a firm believer that you keep swinging the sword, you keep fighting, you do not give in, you work harder, and you use that frustration.' Though once again favored to win the AFC East, the Bills enter camp with several subplots beginning with starting running back James Cook's desire to land a contract extension while entering the final year of his deal. Cook's contract: After skipping the Bills' voluntary spring sessions, Cook explained his reasoning for participating in the team's mandatory sessions last month by saying: 'I like my money. That's why I'm here.' Beane on Wednesday provided no update on contract talks, reiterated how he doesn't have the salary cap space to fit Cook's asking price of 15 million per season, and credited the player for reporting for camp. 'James is a competitive dude. He's a stud. He is a great teammate. He wants to be here,' Beane said of the NFL's co-leader last season with 16 touchdowns rushing. 'James fits Buffalo. But sometimes you can't get on the same page.' Injury updates: On the injury front, defensive end Joey Bosa resumed practicing after the off-injured free-agent addition missed the spring sessions with a calf issue. The 30-year-old is coming off three injury-shortened seasons in which he combined for 14 of his 72 sacks over 28 games with the Chargers. Buffalo signed Bosa to a one-year 12.6 million contract in March in a bid to fill the pass-rushing role after Von Miller was cut. Meantime, the Bills opened camp with tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) on the non-football injury list and starting right tackle Spencer Brown (back) on the physically unable to perform list. Beane didn't provide a timeline in saying both should be cleared for practice sooner than later. While the Bills' offense returns mostly intact, the defense has been retooled. Aside from Bosa, Buffalo revamped its defensive front with the free-agent signings of Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht – both expected to miss the first six games serving suspensions for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Cornerback TreDavious White is back for an eighth season in Buffalo after splitting last year between the Rams and Ravens. And the Bills will rely on several rookies to make immediate contributions from a draft class that included cornerback Maxwell Hairston, defensive tackle T.J. Sanders, and defensive end Landon Jackson. Remembering Rex: Long snapper Reid Ferguson is Buffalo's lone active player to precede McDermott, having signed in 2016 during Rex Ryan's second and final season. Reflecting back, Ferguson laughed at how different a Hard Knocks series might have been during Ryan's tenure when the colorful coach once munched on dog biscuits during a promotional appearance at camp. 'Things are different under McDermott,' Ferguson said. 'We're not actively trying to not give them drama, not that there's a ton that goes on in the first place,' Ferguson said. 'We're trying to use it as a way to show the Bills in a positive light that I think people have seen us in for the last handful of years.' ___ AP NFL:

What We Are Reading Today: ‘Plastics'
Edited by Caroline Fowler and Ittai Weinryb Modern and contemporary art wouldn't exist without the invention of plastics. From sculpture to paint, and photography to film, plastics have shaped every major medium of art. In turn, plastics have revolutionized art conservation, transforming the possibilities of preservation but also producing new challenges for conservators struggling to preserve toxic and degrading material. Hailed as utopian in the 20th century, plastics today are often understood as pollution and waste—a central cause of ecological crisis.
