Everything has become dull. Very very few independent artists. . . I went expecting a lot of figure-selling booths but what most of them did was just teasing with "coming soon" toys. Too bad. as I was commenting, Comic-con is not what it was just 5 years ago. Everything has become dull. Very very few independent artists. . .

Wish I could have seen the trailer there. Hopefully the tie-in will be highly stylize and actually fit with the game. I was listening to a radio piece about Comic-Con. One of the goers had an interesting point. "...I love how people come, but I feel like people are pulled away from what the original roots of Comic-Con was. It's gone to the point were it's little, little; it's dimming down the artwork of the true artist and it's become more of a movie franchise. And I hate to see the day were I come here and there's no comic books and it's just all movies.." Are you guys seeing any of that occurring or are there still many independent comic book producers/artists? Boo! –>The panel ends, no posters were handed out, we leave empty handed. :(
