Comic-Con ‘08: Lost teases, Heroes delivers the goods!
Going in to Comic-Con, everyone knew that both Lost and Heroes would be a big deal this year; this was the first year that both shows would be showcased back-to-back, and the first year that either show had appeared in the cavernous Hall H. I don’t think anyone knew just how big a deal they [...]
Comic-Con ‘08: Security Are Incompetent Nazis
Anyone who’s ever been to Comic-Con can, on demand, regale you with tales of how poorly organized various things at the San Diego Convention Center often are. Leaving Hall H for the only Hall H food vendor, only to then be forced to exit and get back in line to return to your seat. The [...]
Comic-Con ‘08: Star Wars Panel

Comic-Con ‘08: Hall H & the Year of Watchmen
As expected, Comic-Con ‘08 has so far been The Year of Watchmen. But let me backtrack for a second.

Every year, Comic-Con seems to become more and more like the E3 of old, with increasingly loud and rowdy booths full of giveaways, big money being spent all over the place to promote the heck out of the biggest stuff, and con goers who mad-dash their way through the most impressive booths in zany attempts [...]

No Paramount at Comic-Con ‘08!?!? - UPDATED
You’ve got to be freaking kidding me, Paramount.
Variety reports that Paramount will have virtually no presence at Comic-Con this year, most notably with no preview-and-star-laden mega panel in Hall H. According to a spokesperson, “the timing was off this year.”
