My recent (and first ever) expedition to Comic-Con ‘08 prompted me to realize several things. First, never underestimate the banshee-like power of a 16-year-old’s shrill screams, especially when they are echoing off the high walls of Hall H in the San Diego Convention Center. B, you may look odd in a costume, but you might as well be Orlando Bloom by the number of people who point and squeal and ask to take your picture. Lastly, although these mythological “free bags” are given out periodically at some point during every day, one can never seem to get their hands on one unless they camp out near the Warner Bros. booth and make googly-eyes at assistants (read: “interns” and/or “temps”) working the desk.
But one thing is certain – and I’m not talking about the inevitable failure of Spider-Man 4 – I’m talking about zombies. They’re alive (?) and well and took over San Diego during Comic-Con.
