Comic Con is the largest convergence of nerdom, it’s just sad how it’s harder to get in year after year. I really hope we get to go some day. But then again, it’s so crowded, it’s difficult to do much unless you hang out in one specific hallway the entire time. Line after line. Several studios bowed out this year, so news is fairly lacking. Lots of trailers and footage shared. Lots of fun panels missed.
Below are some highlights, as well as some notable trailers. I’m actually excited about 90% of these things.
