(cross-posted from The Ecstatic Truth)another comic-con, another year of wandering the dealer’s room floor and forcing the strangest of strangers to bend to my camera’s will. previous years have afforded me much more time to chase people down and snap their photos without asking permission (it’s way more awkward this way, and thus how i of course choose to go about it), but even if you pop in to that gigantic hall for just a few minutes a con, you’re...
Okay, so during the convention, I kept hearing people say bizarre things like "Did you hear about Pacey-Con across the street?" "People are actually like, celebrating Dawson's Creek." and so on and so forth. I also saw a photo of people on the lawn across from the Convention Center holding up a Pacey-Con sign. I figured, okay, this is like, people being ironic or weird or funny, right? Could this possibly be real?Then I saw this video and laughed my face off. Thank you, Funny or Die.Pacey-Con with Joshua Jackson from Joshua Jack...

Thank god for Coconut Water or this would have been a very hungover Comic-Con.Woke up Saturday somehow early enough to get into Hall H to save a row behind the reserved section in anticipation of the Marvel panel. We encountered one too many Marvel professionals & co who didn't have seats, so we elected to give ours away. This meant saving non-reserved seats all day, yes, but it also meant being in the room during the now infamous Hall H pen-stabbing incident, so I guess it all works out. Here's how the day went.- Warner Brothers: Green Lantern,...
Didn't have time to actually write anything up Friday night, so I am now attempting to remember anything that happened that day. I can't even remember how Scott Pilgrim ended, so, good luck self. - Walking Dead Panel. Got into the room just in time to see them reveal the first footage from the pilot. It was PACKED. And there we so many people outside who didn't make it in, it was astounding. Check out our write ups here and here. - Barenaked Ladies...

My friends and I are up at an ungodly hour (I can't even call it morning yet) to get in line for Ballroom 20's Sunday events. When we woke up, another friend texted us saying she'd been in line at 1:30...and there was already a line. I thought we were crazy for getting in line this early, but damn. Damn, girls!Anyway, after hearing this news, I've decided there's no way I'll be leaving any good seat I get for B20, so I'll be parking my butt there. Unfortunately I won't be attending the Women of Marvel panel like I'd hope to, but seeing the It's...

I was in the room before Muse got in there, so here are some more points from the start of the panel that she missed:- Gale Anne Hurd called Walking Dead the "seminal contemporary series of our time," and said she and AMC go for the best when looking for new projects.- They like to include input from Walking Dead writer Robert Kirkman as much as possible, and he's even written episode 4 of the first season.- Walking Dead will premiere as part of...
This panel started off rough due to technical difficulties, and then they ran over...which ultimately made me miss the Marvel Vs Capcon panel...excuse me while I cry just a tiny bit. :(Anyway we didn't get to see much...We watched a short about the behind the scenes of Twist Metal...which turned out to be the wrong video and was missing a lot of the necessary cards, and art work. But what I did get from it was the origins of a few of the characters:Sweettooth: Is pretty much a force of nature serial killer. They toy with the origins of how he became...
My heart almost broke this morning when at 11:33, I was only just walking into the Convention Center due to a not-having-a-phone related disaster this morning. Luckily, I still managed to finagle my way into a packed room for The Walking Dead panel, JUST as producer Gale Anne Hurd asked if we'd like to see some footage. I almost cried with joy, as this was possibly my most anticipated panel of Comic-Con. Already on stage when I arrived were Greg Nicotero, Frank Darabont, Gale Anne Hurd, Robert Kirkman and another producer whose name I missed. And...

I kicked off my Comic Con Friday by attending a Hawaii Five-0 press conference, and I'm in the room waiting for the panel itself to start as I write this. Live blogging ahoy!Notes from the press conference:- In trying to avoid the pitfalls that may come with remaking a beloved classic television show, the writers attacked the script as its own thing, trying their best not to put pressure on themselves. They realize it's a classic source and are doing...
One of our helper reporters stepped in and took some notes on the Red panel, featuring Warren Ellis, Cully Hamner, Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Karl Urban, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren & Bruce Willis. The movie comes out on October 15th. Some quotes below!Bruce "Every day was fun" on filming with this cast."Every week we got another big movie star who came in that we were all excited about."Helen "They had the Queen, and then they had God" (talking about Morgan)"You always want something that's going to kick your last role out of the water.""Nice...

Holy shit. I think my brain asplode. As it is wont to do at Comic-Con.Today brought us the following:-Will Ferrell, Tiny Fey, Jonah Hill & a Brad Pitt standee giving us a taste of Mastermind while also cracking my shit up. Hilarious panel. Made me a happy lady. Also, I will be seeing this movie.-Tron: Legacy panel which blew my mind. With no connection to the first Tron, I was somehow still moved to (almost) tears with the footage. It just looked so fucking cool, you guys. I can't wait. I CAN'T WAIT.

Representatives from Mass Effect, Dragon Age, DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, EA were among the panelists. Editors, GMs, Writers spoke of the relationship between comic books and video games. Most fans who like one, tend to like the other. In variant degrees often, but geek love is geek love. And if there isn’t love, at the very least there is great respect. I was interested in the honest collaboration between the two genera. Often when films are made out of video games or comics the stories are changed or fussed with (and usually not...
I've just finished up with the Tron press conference, where I got tons of pictures and got my moment to swoon over Garrett Hedlund as I was walking back to the convention center from the Hilton. He had his car window rolled down to smoke as I was walking by, I looked over and smiled, he looked a bit confused but smiled as well. Only at Comic Con, folks. Highlights from the press conference as we wait for the Tron panel itself to start:- Garrett only saw Tron for the first time in 2003 and was blown away, Michael saw it when he was 11, and Olivia...

Hey all, Chantaal (@strongpieces & Girls Read Comics Too) here helping out as an extra correspondent/fangirl for Comic Con 2010! I'll be covering all kinds of various things over the next four days, but the biggest of which had to be today's press conference with Stan Lee, unveiling new characters and creative teams for his new comics with Boom! Studios.First, I just have to say one thing: Stan is absolutely amazing in person. He's a charmer,...
