Vince Cracchiolo covered last weekend’s Motor City Comic Con for Bleeding Cool. Besides finding out both Norman Reedus and Cary Elwes were being incredibly gracious to fans at the event in Farmington Hills, Michigan, we also spotted the best photo ever of Stan Lee. Yes, even better than this one.

This seven-year-old girl dressed up as Stan Lee, and this is so sweet my eyes are getting diabetes. Look, she’s even doing Spider-Man’s webslinger hand gestures! GAH, TOO ADORABLE. My heart grew three sizes this day. (Excelsior, and so on.)

It’s hard to think of a human being more enthusiastic about science, or science education, than one Bill Nye. When he’s not busy tormenting Ed Begley Jr., he’s discussing environmental science, hosting serious science documentaries, and doing actual scientific work, as befitting his background as an engineer at Boeing.

You know, there’s really been something missing from the reboot of the Star Trek series: song and dance. Why J. J. Abrams didn’t consider turning the series into a musical is beyond me. Luckily, the internet imagined what a middle school production of Star Trek would look like. And based on the music alone, it’s something that needs to become a standard in schools across America, like, stat!

Bryan Singer has been tweeting several pictures of castmembers in X-Men: Days of Future Past such as the picture above of Peter Dinklage.
