Hey O&G fans, if you read the article heading, it is not a typo!! Lex Luthorwill provide free wifi for all NYCC 2015 fans who attend this year. Stark Industries handed out free flash drives at a comic convention once, but the main villain of next year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is looking to provide something more this week at New York Comic Con. In the FAQ for this year's event, it's noted that the complimentary WiFi is made possible by the (fictional) LexCorp Industries.

Yes. Free WiFi throughout the Javits Center will be provided by LexCorp Industries.

LexCorp unites humanity through technology. We believe in technology as a means of communication, unification and a source of inspiration. To access the WiFi on-site at the Javits Center, connect to the "LexCorp" network from the list of available networks.

You will automatically be redirected to the LexCorp WiFi login page where you can enter your email address and click "CONNECT" to gain access to the network. LexCorp – together, we can build a better world.

Can you trust sending your information over a connection provided by such a noted DC villain? That's up to you.

Kick-Ass Creator Mark Millar launches Global Talent Search Contest

Award-winning writer and film producer Mark Millar is launching a worldwide talent search for new artists and writers, so budding creators listen up as the search is on from 28th Sept – 30th Nov 2015.

As Mark explains, “There seems to be a real disconnect between genuinely talented and skilled students at schools, colleges and universities getting in to the comic-book industry. I want to provide a platform to enable these creative people to showcase their talents and, most importantly, to get published and paid.”

Artists and writers can upload an example of their work on the Millarworld website and a shortlist of six writers and six artists will be selected and partnered up. Artist submissions are now being accepted and writer submissions will be accepted from next week.  The selected creators will be allowed to work on specific Millarworld characters, and paid the Marvel and DC starter rates. The stories will appear in the ‘Millarworld Annual 2016' comic-book, a not-for-profit comic-book available in all comic-stores.  

Millar goes on to say, “Working in comics is the best job in the world. It’s what I’ve wanted to do since I was five and it’s genuinely a thrill to switch on my computer every morning. If I can help in some small way to get other people started with this special annual every year it’ll be an honour. I really couldn’t recommend this career more highly."
