For all the sad comic book and pop culture fans who weren't able to get tickets to San Diego Comic-Con, we've got good news for you: They run another convention, and it's closer to Los Angeles. Their little brother WonderCon Anaheim has been growing, with some comparing it to the Comic-Con of old — before it got way too crowded. It's this Friday through Sunday, April 3-5. They're starting to have big stars and lots of great panels, so if you want to get your geek heart sated, here are some of the events you won't want to miss.

Warner Bros. Presentation: San Andreas, Mad Max: Fury Road

San Andreas trailer

The most highly anticipated event at this weekend's convention, Warner Brothers is putting on a special presentation with footage from these two upcoming action films. They haven't announced which stars will be on hand, but these panels often surprise with star power, so you may get a visit from stars like "San Andreas's" Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or "Mad Max: Fury Road's" Tom Hardy or Charlize Theron. At the Comic-Con panel last year for the "Mad Max" flick, the director talked in detail about the film, so you'll probably at least get his take on the franchise and its resurrection.

DC Comics TV shows: The Flash, Gotham, iZombie

The Flash trailer

While Marvel has been dominant on the big screen, DC has put out a diverse slate of TV shows, with "The Flash" being the biggest hit among them. It's among those getting a spotlight at WonderCon, with creators and stars dishing on the programs that have captured the imaginations of TV fans and comic fans alike. All three shows are also getting special video presentations, likely showing clips of what you can expect the rest of this season. And in case you didn't already know, "iZombie" comes from "Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas, so come find out about his latest project.

World Premiere: Batman vs. Robin

Batman vs. Robin trailer

It's become a tradition at both WonderCon and San Diego Comic-Con for DC Comics to debut their latest animated movie, and the new one is based on the critically acclaimed "Court of Owls" storyline by writer Scott Snyder. (Be sure to check out our previous interviews with Snyder — he's even an NPR fan.) The original story is based on how Batman thinks he knows everything there is to know about Gotham City and faces the discovery that there are deep secrets about the city that he had no idea about, and the film also emphasizes him fighting his son Damian.

Sing-alongs: Dr. Horrible & Batman's The Music Meister

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Drives Us Bats

People go to comic conventions to geek out, and what's geekier than a good old-fashioned singalong? In addition to one for geek god Joss Whedon's much loved Web series "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," they're also doing one for the musical episode of animated series "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" — which, just like "Dr. Horrible," features singing by the one and only Neil Patrick Harris. In the Batman cartoon, he plays the Music Meister, a Batman villain who makes both heroes and villains sing, as he drops some tunes of his own.

Superman: The Richard Donner Years Celebrity Super Reunion

Superman: The flying sequence

There's a reunion of stars from the first two of the classic Christopher Reeve Superman movies, including Lois Lane herself, Margot Kidder. You can also see the actors who played characters like Jimmy Olsen, several of the villains and more, as well as two of the producers. Find out what you don't know about the movie that broke ground when it came to depicting flight on-screen and, like the ads promised, made you believe a man could fly.

TV writing panels

Two panels will give you a peek into the world of the writers who write some of the hottest shows on TV: "TV Guide Magazine's Fan Favorites Showrunners" and "Inside The Writers' Room: Earth's Mightiest Writers Re-Assemble Redux." The first of those includes legendary TV showrunners like Dan Harmon of "Community" and the minds behind shows including "Orphan Black," "The Goldbergs" and more. Meanwhile, at the writers room panel, you'll get writers who've worked on shows like "Lost," "Firefly," "Heroes," "The Big Bang Theory," "Agent Carter" and more.

Fan culture programming track

This includes a lot of different panels, but it's a sign of the way fandom is shifting — it's a lifestyle that's far more diverse than it used to be, with a lot more gender parity. This track includes panels on topics like body confidence in cosplay, fashion, fitness, race and more. See what sparks your interest and might invite you into having an identity as a fan being a bigger part of your life while not letting anyone make you feel excluded.

There's so much more, like Will Forte doing a panel promoting his new show "The Last Man On Earth," the annual cosplay masquerade and so much more. Tickets are sold out for Saturday, but at press time, tickets were still available for both Friday and Sunday at WonderCon.

Everything old is new again. Turntable Labs just launched Hangout, a social music platform that’s eerily similar to that champion of 2010s internet, Turntable.fm. The app is available as a web client or via an app for Android and iOS. It allows users to play virtual DJ, with over 100 million songs to choose from.

It not only functions like the old-school Turntable.fm. It even looks the same. There’s a stage, record players and cartoon avatars that sort of look like characters from South Park. I started my own room just to check things out and am pleasantly surprised at the sheer number of songs here that I actually like.

This is because those 100 million songs have been secured through partnerships with Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. The catalog also pulls from Merlin, which represents a vast array of indie labels and rights holders.

The company likens the experience to “gathering around a jukebox or listening to albums with friends.” It seems that way to me, as someone I don’t know just jumped in my room and started playing their own stuff. To that end, folks take turns playing DJ. There looks to be room for five people at the same time to play a game of round robin with their favorite songs.

The robust catalog is one major difference from Turntable.fm. The platform didn’t have agreements in place with labels, instead relying on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and a partnership with ASCAP. This forced a number of rules on users as to how many people could be in a room at once and how many songs could be played each hour. It looks like those rules are now dunzo.

Turntable.fm originally went dark all the way back in 2013, before showing signs of renewed life in 2021. This could be a fun retro throwback to an age when we actually got our music recommendations from people, and not algorithms.

Early and medieval Christian literature: Eusebius and Epiphanius Scholasticus, in their Christian histories, place Saracens east of the Gulf of Aqaba but beyond the Roman province of Arabia and mention them as Ishmaelites through Kedar; thus, they are outside the promise given to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac and also therefore, in Christian theology, beyond a privileged place in the family of nations or divine dispensation. The Jews viewed them as pagans and polytheists in ancient times and in later Christian times they became associated with cruel tyrants from early Christian history such as: Herod the Great, Herod Antipas and Agrippa I. Christian writings, such as those by Origen, viewed them as heretics who had to be brought into the orthodox fold. To the Christian Saint Jerome the Arabs, who were also considered in Christian theology as Ishmaelites, were also seen to fit the definition of Saracens; pagan tent-dwelling raiders of the lands on the eastern fringes of the Roman empire. -- The term Saracen carried the connotation of people living on the fringes of settled society, living off raids on towns and villages, and eventually became equated with both the "tent-dwelling" Bedouin as well as sedentary Arabs. Church writers of the period commonly describe Saracen raids on monasteries and their killing of monks. The term and the negative image of Saracens was in popular usage in both the Greek east as well as the Latin west throughout the Middle Ages. With the advent of Islam, in the Arabian peninsula, during the seventh century among the Arabs, the term's strong association with Arabs tied the term closely with not just race and culture, but also the religion. The rise of the Arab Empire and the ensuing hostility with the Byzantine Empire saw itself expressed as conflict between Islam and Christianity and the association of the term with Islam was further accentuated both during and after the Crusades. -- John of Damascus, in a polemical work typical of this attitude described the Saracens in the early 8th century thus: There is also the people-deceiving cult (threskeia) of the Ishmaelites, the forerunner of the Antichrist, which prevails until now. It derives from Ishmael, who was born to Abraham from Hagar, wherefore they are called Hagarenes and Ishmaelites. And they call them Saracens, inasmuch as they were sent away empty-handed by Sarah; for it was said to the angel by Hagar: "Sarah has sent me away empty-handed" (cf. Book of Genesis xxi. 10, 14).

From 1989 to 1994 there was a show with a prescient title and approach, a show that gave rise to people including Jon Stewart and Marc Maron: “Short Attention Span Theater.” It presented bits and clips, standup and skits. Quick takes in keeping with the short attention spans that were existing then and arguably shrinking even more so now.

Market research firm MIDiA has recently conducted its annual survey of independent labels and distributors to create what it describes as “the definitive view of the independent music economy.” Modesty notwithstanding, it has sliced, diced and riced data from 5,500 companies in that space—which represents $10.6-billion of recorded music revenue—so its assessment is undoubtedly substantive, especially as it adds in financials from major labels and artist distribution platforms, thereby achieving, it claims, 93% of all recorded music revenue on a global basis.

The big labels, of course, make big money. Universal Music Group reported its Q3 2024 earnings last week, which has it that for the first nine months of 2024 the company had revenues of €8,396 million, which is a 6.3% increase over the same period in 2023. Focusing just on the Recorded Music category, the revenues were €6,335 million, up 4.9% year-over-year—and last year wasn’t at all bad.

Hanging onto the steering wheel for dear life while mumbling expletives is not what you imagine when you think of driving an S-Class. However, when it wears a ‘63’ badge, things are slightly different. More so when that badge gets red highlights, because that means the S-Class in question isn’t the usual, sophisticated, good boy, but its evil cousin. The Mercedes-AMG S 63 E-Performance is an 802hp limousine that is ready to rip a hole through time, and as its name suggests, it’s all about the performance. For once, the back seat takes a back seat in an S-Class. 

Mercedes-AMG S 63 powertrain and performance

The S 63 is a plug-in hybrid gone rogue. It gets a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, putting out 612hp and 900Nm, but then a 13kWh battery and electric motor on the rear axle put out an additional 190hp and 320Nm, bringing the total output to a hysterical 802hp and 1,430Nm. Deploying 1,430Nm of torque to the tarmac is like putting Usain Bolt on your home treadmill. There is so much grip that it feels like the car is trying to stretch the road beneath it every time you put your foot down. As a result, despite its 2.5-tonne heft, it can go from 0 to 100kph in just 3.4 seconds. The top speed is limited to 250kph, but if you opt for the Driver’s Pack, you can remove the limiter and get it up to 290kph. Clearly, range is not the priority for this hybrid. 

The numbers on the S 63 are intimidating, to say the least, and the experience from behind the wheel is, too. The car picks up the pace with zero lag, and you need to keep an eye on the speed readout; otherwise, it’s just a blur as you accelerate. 

What helps bring this earth-shattering performance to the road are two transmissions. The engine uses a speedshift 9-speed MCT, and the motor gets its own 2-speed transmission, because it spins at a different RPM from the engine. First gear on the motor is good enough for up to 140kph and only after that does it switch to second for a smoother torque transition. 

What you’ll be using most is the 9-speed with its paddle shifters. Needless to say, it is extremely responsive, and in Sport and Sport+, it’s extremely aggressive as well. When you push the car hard, shifts are immediate, and for total control, you can switch to ‘M’ or manual mode, where it will not upshift unless you tug at the right paddle. However, for everyday driving in the city, it isn’t the smoothest. There are noticeable jerks at low speeds, and even in Comfort mode, you’re constantly made aware of the massive power waiting to be unleashed. Then there is the exhaust, which, sadly, isn’t all-natural. A lot of it is fed through the speakers, and for the most part, you’ll barely hear it outside. Rev it high enough, though, and the V8 roar is very much there, along with pops and bangs that add to the drama. 

We’ve seen this powertrain in the GT 63 S E-Performance, where it had even more power (834hp) but a smaller (6.7kWh) battery. The S 63’s larger 13kWh battery results in a higher claimed electric-only range of 33km.  

Mercedes-AMG S 63 hybrid technology

The 13kWh battery pack uses Formula 1-derived tech and contains 1,200 individual cells that have a dedicated coolant line for thermal management. Not only is that better for packaging, but each cell can also be cooled individually, so you can push the car and not worry about overheating the battery. There are four recuperation modes—varying the level of regen—and you can charge the battery using a Type-2 port and the onboard 3.7kW AC charger. 

Exclusive to the S 63 is a ‘B’ or Battery Hold mode that helps preserve the SOC. This allows you to switch to the all-electric ‘EL’ mode in heavy traffic and save some precious high-octane fuel. 

Mercedes-AMG S 63 ride and handline

Because this is an AMG S-Class, there are two contrasting ideologies at work—sportscar handling and luxurious ride comfort. If you want S-Class levels of soft and supple, this won’t do the trick. The ride is inherently firm, and although it gets adaptive air suspension, you will feel jitters in the cabin even in Comfort mode. It also gets active engine mounts, which help keep things composed, and once you find a winding ribbon of tarmac with long swooping bends, the AMG side of the dynamic package is really felt. That said, on our bad roads, the one thing that you absolutely have to be aware of is the low ground clearance. Sure, the air suspension has a raise function that helps you gain some crucial millimetres, but you still have to crab crawl over big speed bumps to avoid grazing the underbody. 

In terms of handling, you don’t really expect big things from an S-Class, but AMG’s pedigree clearly flows through this car’s veins. The 4Matic+ system, along with 3-degree rear-wheel steering, makes a huge difference in the bends as well as in U-turns and three-point turns. Despite having the same long 3,216mm wheelbase as the standard S-Class, in the corners, it is agile and sharp. 

However, in seriously tight turns, its 2.5-tonne weight is what pulls it down, and at such points, all that handling tech can only do so much. 

Mercedes-AMG S 63 design

In terms of design, there are many telltale signs of it being an AMG. Edition 1 gets the ‘Night Pack’ that replaces every inch of bling with blackened bits and the ‘Carbon Pack’ that adds racy carbon-fibre elements to the air dams, splitter, side sill, mirrors and diffuser. Apart from that, it gets sporty bumpers with huge air dams, the massive ‘Panamericana’ grille and an AMG logo in place of the Mercedes-Benz emblem. There are also 21-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres and carbon ceramic brakes (standard on the Edition 1).  

The rear, which many will find themselves looking at, features quad exhaust tips and red highlights for the badges, letting everyone know that this is an E-Performance and something that’s not to be trifled with. 

Mercedes-AMG S 63 interior and features

On the inside, the S 63 prides itself on its AMG roots with a healthy dose of carbon fibre. The dashboard gets a carbon-fibre slab with a red weave within. The upper half also gets red stitching along with Nappa leather seats, which, though sporty, are superbly comfy as well. The new bit is the performance steering wheel that gives it full-blown AMG cred. Wrapped in Alcantara and leather, its plethora of touch buttons might seem intimidating at first, but it doesn’t take long to get used to. The steering also features context-sensitive AMG knobs that feature shortcuts to adjust the suspension, gearbox, drive modes and even the exhaust. 

Also new are racier themes for the instrument cluster and telemetry, such as engine temperature, motor and battery readouts, and performance timing. The massive touchscreen in the centre is the nerve centre of the whole car, controlling everything from the AC to the chassis, and it’s super responsive. But rest assured, the screen has plenty of displays and data to satisfy your inner nerd.  

The rear seat may not be the best seat, given this is an AMG, but it’s always going to be special in an S-Class. You have plenty of room to stretch out, and all the bells and whistles like seat massaging, heating and ventilation, along with the ability to move the passenger seat ahead and fully stretch out.

There is a superb Burmester 4D sound system, panoramic sunroof, incredibly comfy seats, rear entertainment screens, and even noise-cancelling headphones if the V8 is not sonorous enough for you. That said, with all that carbon fibre surrounding you and the grin on your chauffeur’s face, it won’t be long before you want to jump back into the driver’s seat. Also, since the S 63’s hybrid tech sits over the rear axle, the boot space is down to 310 litres, and you don’t get a spare wheel either. 

Mercedes-AMG S 63 price

The S 63 E-Performance is priced from Rs 3.3 crore onwards, and the ‘Edition 1’ seen here, of which only three have been imported to India (and sold out), is listed at Rs 3.8 crore. It has supercar levels of power and all the luxury elements, and it is loaded with tech. Yet you’d struggle to justify the purchase. If you want a fun-to-drive car with lots of power, there are better options, and if you want a luxury car, the S-Class is already mighty impressive. It is difficult to see the logic, but as soon as you drive it, there is something about it that invokes your inner child. It won’t win track events or get you any drag race trophies. You won’t have a plausible justification. If you are the sort who looks for plausibility, this is definitely not the car for you. It’s a laugh, and you buy it because you can. If they ask you why you bought it, it’ll only take a quick spin to get them an answer.
