[NYCC 2014 Photos] Bob's Burgers Roundtables
During the first day of New York Comic Con 2014, I had the chance to take part in roundtable interviews with the cast and crew of the ever-popular Bob's Burgers. While the videos of those interviews will be incoming, I took some photos of the various roundtables featuring Kristen Schaal, H. Jon Benjamin, Loren Bouchard, John Roberts, Eugene Lirman, Larry Murphy, and Bobby Tisdale, which you can see below. Expect more from the Bob's Burgers roundtables next week, and be sure to keep it tuned to Ruby Hornet for more from New York Comic Con 2014.
You can check out some more of my behind the scenes Bob's Burgers roundtable interview photos on my Flickr.
Fox Might Be Developing X-Men TV Show
While the box office is where the real money is, many studios are embracing the TV format for various comic book properties. The Batman-related Gotham's series premiere a few weeks ago brought in 8.21m viewers, Netflix and Marvel recently revealed the logo for Daredevil (the first of four TV shows to exclusively premiere on the service), Brian Michael Bendis' Powers will be released exclusively on the PlayStation Network this December, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has had its ups and downs, but further expands upon the lore of its Cinematic Universe, and we all know how successful The Walking Dead has been since it premiered four years ago. These shows help represent cheaper, faster returns for the studios as opposed to producing one film every x amount of years. That's not to say that each series' quality is any less than what we catch in theaters, of course. Nevertheless, TV is becoming the perfect landscape for serial storytelling, and with the growth and success of comic book properties in the past 10 years, it makes sense for more adaptations hitting the small screen.
That brings us to the new rumor that 20th Century Fox is preparing to develop a live-action X-Men show. Recently, it was confirmed that the next X-Men film, X-Men: Apocalypse, will mark the final entry in the trilogy that began with X-Men: First Class and was continued by this summer's Days of Future Past. The film is currently slated for a May 2016 release, which gives Fox two years to develop the rumored X-Men TV show to further continue the mythology and universe established in the X-Men films.
What do you think? I, for one, would love to see a live-action X-Men TV show, so long as it was handled correctly.

The Weekly Swarm: 9/29 - 10/5
October is set to bring the fall chill across the country if the past few days in Chicago are any indication. However, the cold won't slow us down! Last week, we had some amazing interviews with Nacho Vigalondo and Pat Mills, I reviewed Vigalondo's latest film, Open Windows, China blocked Instagram across the country, and Joaquin Phoenix won't end up playing Doctor Strange after all. If you missed any of last week's content, check out the full list below!

It's been a week since Riot Fest ended, yet I'm still recovering - the sign of an amazing and successful festival. If you missed out on our photos and recaps of the three-day punk rock festival, I've gone ahead and compiled all of them together in this new Weekly Swarm edition. Last week also featured news on yesterday's Aahh! Fest (expect photos soon!), trailers for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Big Eyes, and other films, and some creative photo projects from TIME's Ashley Gilbertson and glitch artist Sabato Visconti. Check everything out below!

As I write this, it's only a few hours before gates for Riot Fest Day 3 open. The weekend has been wet, cold, and all types of amazing all at once. Of course, we'll have our full Riot Fest recap this week, but I'll say this: for the second year in a row, Riot Fest has proven to be Chicago's best annual music festival. On a more personal level, I got to see Descendents perform Milo Goes to College in full last night. That alone was enough to make Riot Fest so great.
Nevertheless, we had a solid week last week at Ruby Hornet. We covered the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch announcements, shared our Riot Fest band recommendations with a full video playlist, I wrote about five actresses who would be amazing Ghostbusters, brought news of Kevin Smith's new film Tusk having a medical marijuana tie-in, and shared photos from Ukraine from photographer Kieran Kesner. Check out all this and more below!

Now that we're deep into September, I hope everybody is prepared for the onslaught of fall weather that'll befall upon us in the coming weeks. Then again, Chicagoans have already experienced a cool summer, so it won't be that much of a temperature difference. With that said, expect things to heat up next week when we share our coverage from this year's Riot Fest! However, that's not to say you should forget some of the content we've posted recently, including our photos from both the WKQX Piqniq and North Coast 2014, our review of the new Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde film, The Longest Week, and more!

Finally, September (and fall) is upon us. We had a pretty great content week last week, with photos from the Midwest Ska Festival, our list of artists to see at North Coast this past weekend (expect a full photo recap soon!), an exclusive interview with North Coast group Keys n Krates, word that Martin Scorsese will direct a biopic on The Ramones, and a photo interview (!!!) with Chicago-born fashion/celebrity photographer, Angelo Kritikos.
