Comic Con - Saturday Report 2

 Yep, the main hall was finally packed with a sea of people. Lots of costumes, though it seemed less than last year and lots of fun.


Hasbro had a great booth as usual...

Mattel had a big display as well with He Man and DC heroes.

 Paolo Parente was in the Image booth supporting his comic / game world, DUST. He had a copy of the production run of the Dust Tactics game Deluxe Edition which looked fantastic. Paolo said the Deluxe version would have a list price of $300. To my eye, the figures and walkers were painted very nicely - to a higher standard than AT-43 for example. The box carried the AEG logo, so I assume that FFG will be putting a sticker over this...

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were signing on the hall floor.

Saturday is the big day at Comic Con. Big crowds, lots of costumes, lots of stars. I missed the Warner Bros panel in Hall H, but Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were on the main hall floor in the Warner's booth signing.

After Warners was the Sony Panel on Resident Evil: Afterlife, followed by the stabbing, followed by Universal, and then Marvel and the full complement of Avengers.

Universal presented a new SF comedy, Paul, about an escapee from Area 51.

                                          Jeffrey Tambor, Director Greg Mottola, Nick Frost, Sigourney Weaver, Simon Pegg, Seth Rogan, Joe Lo Truglio, Bill Hader 

Next up was Cowboys and Aliens, a big budget directed by Jon Favreau. The most thunderous roar of applause I have ever heard at a Comic Con event accompanied the introduction of Harrison Ford to the crowd.

Harrison Ford, Alex Kurtzman, Olivia Wilde, Jon Favreau, Roberto Orci, Sam Rockwell, Daniel Craig

Marvel had their panel last and ended with the cast of the Avengers. I think the crowd may have been caught by surprise by the announcement and all the stars were there.

There was a cute moment at the panel when this kid came up to ask a question and asked Eva if she remembered five years earlier that he had said, "You're hot!" at Comic Con panel. The funny thing was that after that panel Eva had gone to dinner and the kid was at the same restaurant with his parents. Apparently, Eva had said, "Talk to me in five years." Well I guess that this was five years and Eva remembered him and invited him to take a picture, but reminded him that he was still too young.
