Cosplay Confidential: Check Out These Outfits from Phoenix Comicon

Posted By Jim Nintzel on Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 2:26 PM

With the San Diego Comic Con now in full swing, the Range is bringing you a collection of photos from this summer's Phoenix Comicon, which drew at least 100,000 people and has become one of the biggest events in downtown Phoenix. (A hotel manager told us it was second only to the Super Bowl—and even the Super Bowl wasn't as big in some ways, since so many of the events were off in Glendale.)

Photos by Scott Smith, who had the most massive stash of comics I'd ever seen in my life when I met him in the sixth grade at Lineweaver Elementary.

By the way, if you want a chance to celebrate geek culture at a cooler time of the year, the Phoenix Comicon folks now have a fall event, the Phoenix Fan Fest, coming up Oct. 22-23. Learn all about it here.

Busy Season At Old Main

Posted By Rebecca Noble on Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 3:30 PM

With the UA's spring commencement ceremonies rapidly approaching, it's rare to pass by the iconic Old Main building without seeing a photo session in progress. Today, 90 AVID students from Spring Valley High School in Las Vegas, Nev. pose for a group photo on the stair case. The students, chaperoned by 10 parent and teacher volunteers, visited four campuses across Arizona this week to give students a feel for the differences between public and private, small and large universities.

The Lizards Have Returned

Posted By Rebecca Noble on Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 2:33 PM

Now that the warm weather is here to stay, Tucson's lizards are reemerging and are back to their usual habits of sunbathing on rocks and scurrying across sidewalks ahead of passerby. This lizard was found scrambling around outside of the Arizona State Museum on Friday, April 15 and struck a brief pose.
