[NOTE: This was split from the other Comic-Con thread. Now that the Comic-Con is actually underway, I figured that a new thread should be set up accordingly. --"Curiosity Inc."]

New Comic Con blog on the main site...

There's also some great pics up at Flickr. Lost of shots of the action figures and the ship. I assume some cast photos will show tomorrow.

Here's a great shot:

Reporting in from the con. Got one of the Mason's Auto Repair t-shirts, if I get a chance, I will pick up a few more today to share with you all. Will take pics of the prop replica unveiling tomorrow.

Also, apparently there will be a Mason's Auto Repair print that we will be able to have signed by JEH, Gugino, and JDM today.

Sweet.

Also, Owlship! Holy shit.

PS - Oh yeah, there was a Watchmen-themed XBOX they were raffling off. I took a pic. Will upload later.

Yes, reporting for duty as well...

I'm sitting just about dead center in Hall H right now, after surviving the 4 mile hike to and from the back of the gargantuan line. The number of people here is ridiculoso. I'm not sure I was prepared for this. Thankfully, the stereotype about comic geeks having B.O. is not true at the current moment, as those around me currently smell lemony fresh. This could change around 11:55 AM, when the perspiration of excitement may begin to overwhelm, resulting in the congealment of a toxic cloud which would then mutate us all instantly into Spawn/Mcfarlane fans, or at least CSFRITZ (I kid).

To spot me (if you want to), I'm the one with semi-wacky hair, a Mario bottle-cap necklace, and a general disdain for the girl two chairs down from me who said someone was sitting next to her, when in fact it's only a space for her bag and web of dishonesty. :(

Sorry for dropping out for so long. Out of my hands. Being a solo flyer is tough too. I'm posting big updates and photos right now with lots more in the next couple of hours if my Internet holds out. I'll try to answer questions here if you need me. Thanks.

Thanks for the update...I bet you were thrilled with what JEH said!
Any word on when the footage will hit the net? We've seen the Q&A but no-one is keen to show the footage...and Deb Snyder hasn't fulfilled her promise :cry:

No idea when they will release it. The Comic Con reps say the whole point is to not release it so people will want to keep coming to Cons if they get exclusive looks that nobody else can get.

Reporting back in, I'm back from San Diego.

Panel was fucking incredible.

Got two signed Rorschach posters.

Whole thing was mindblowing.

Welcome back!
You weren't disappointed by the Q&A at the panel? I guess the footage really was great, huh?

Just got home from a wound up but grueling 8 hour drive...

The only one I got to meet from the forum was the one and only DoomsDay!!!
Let me just say to those who are curious...He is one of the coolest guys you'll meet and I was blessed to have been there walkin the floors with him...Pictures of him? Wouldn't even try!(Sorry AYB)

The line to get in the panel? - 2 and half hours in the sun.

The panel itself? - Only one way to describe it "awestruck"

The footage? - This movie will change film forever! You will never look at a comic book film the same again!!!

The Watchmen handouts? - Yeah, I'm lucky to have been there!

Meeting Debbie - the smile in the pic speaks for itself

The wife is now giving me the look(since I just got home)

All in all............UNFORGETTABLE

This is what I will tell you...

This is how HE described himself in order for me to find him in a room of 6500 Watchmen fans.

"I LOOK LIKE GRISSOM"

Hows that AYB?
