So Melissa was able to get comp tickets for Comic-Con because she is in the media. . I got to go because I was flying in. I have never seen so many interesting people. I visited the Marvel booth, you’re welcome Jere and Matt, as well as the LEGO booth. I took some pictures but I don’t have the correct adapter to transfer them to my computer so those are coming. All in all, it was a neat experience. One I probably won’t do again.

That’s so suh-weeet!!! Did you guys get ‘special’ parking too, or did you have to wait in the mile long line like the regular folk. Also, what was your overall impressions… as in was this more of a media event or more of a comic event. I just want to know if it seemed like comics and reading was more in the forefront than the latest Hollywood media blitz. And I’m talking about actual comics books, not the latest comic book movie/toy/game and other such nonsense. I only ask because from the comic book dealers that usually attend the show every year point of view, they’ve been slowly relegated to the bottom of the totem pole, displaced by the big hollywood $$$. Even look at the name… if comicon didn’t happen to be in the name you’d never know it was supposed to be a comic convention (not counting the ‘dressed up’ fellas).
I went straight from the airport but had to wait in line just like everyone else. Also, because I was with Mel, we spent most of the time in the media panels so I have a jilted view. From the exhibition area, I would say that it is more geared toward the Hollywood area than the actually reading of comics. Then again, I was only there for about four hours.
