The excitement is starting to build for the world famous San Diego Comic-Con !!!
July 23-26, 2009 Comic-Con International: San Diego San Diego, CA

FYI: Tickets are already sold-out for the weekend.

Comic-Con boasts heavy TV lineup
By James Hibberd

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – TV studios plan a strong presence at Comic-Con, the annual fan convention that seems to feature a greater number of series each summer.

Next month's lineup at the San Diego confab includes a few titles beyond the usual sci-fi and fantasy genres. Procedurals such as Fox's "Bones" and USA's "Burn Notice," Fox's musical "Glee" and Discovery's "MythBusters" are in the mix.

Warner Bros. TV is bringing 11 shows to the event, the most the studio has featured.

"Comic-Con is the one place where Warner Bros. cross-divisionally presents a face to the consumer," said Lisa Gregorian, the studio's executive vp marketing.

One returning WBTV program is CBS' "The Big Bang Theory," which the studio brought to the event for the first time last year. Most sitcoms would not be a good fit for the Comic-Con crowd, but the geek-friendly "Big Bang" drew an enthusiastic response. The studio hopes to make a panel for the show a regular event, particularly after its ratings surged last fall.

When selecting programs for Comic-Con, Gregorian said any show with a mythology automatically belongs, and even genre series not premiering until midseason should screen.

"Our philosophy is that if it's ready, and it's great, and you're not making a lot of changes to it, you should show it to the fans," said Gregorian, whose midseason program "Human Target" will be shown.

ABC Studios is hosting at least seven panels, including one for the final season of ABC's "Lost," credited as the first TV show to launch at Comic-Con.

ABC takes a different approach to its "Lost" panel. Instead of simply screening footage and answering questions, the event is a carefully planned production that typically includes specifically shot footage and surprise guests.

"We've been working on the 'Lost' panel for literally months," said Mike Benson, executive vp marketing at ABC Entertainment. "We want the audience to experience 'Lost' in a fully entertaining way."

This year, ABC Studios is extending that approach to panels for its new ABC dramas "V" and "Flash Forward."

"We don't like to just stick people on a panel and have them answer questions," Benson said. "We feel like we have to do more for the audience than just promote the show. By having that experience, it gets them talking about the panel more."

20th TV is offering about nine panels, including those for Fox's new animated comedy "The Cleveland Show" and the newly revived "Futurama."

NBC Universal has at least eight programs, but most are for Sci Fi Channel and USA, with the studio planning only a "Heroes" panel for NBC. ("Chuck," produced by WBTV, also will have a panel.) The studio's apocalyptic midseason drama "Day One" will not be shown -- an NBC Universal spokesperson said it is "too early" -- but there will be some buzz-building marketing.

In one network's case, Comic-Con itself will be used as programing. G4 will broadcast what is billed as the first televised panel in the event's history. Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira will host the two-hour "Star Wars Spectacular," including a table read of a new "Clone Wars" script.

Anyone going to the Baltimore Comic-Con?

Ricky, I so wish I could go ... some great guest artists are attending the BCC.

Baltimore Comic Con Guest List (http://comicon.com/baltimore/index.php/guests/)

Guests include DT variant cover artists Ron Garney, Tom Raney, and Brandon Peterson.

Plus Bernie Wrightson!

Are you going, Ricky!?

Ricky

Eh, probably not. I'm not really a comic fan, so the only real purpose for me to go would be to meet Bernie Wrightson and get DTV signed. For the ticket price + travel, I can't justify it to myself. It would be different if I were a comic fan and was interested in staying the full day though.

It would be too much to list all the super-cool guests at this years San Diego Comic-Con ... running July 22nd to 25th...

Partial List of Special Guests (http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_guests.shtml)
Amazing Group on Artists Alley (http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_artalley.php)

But there are some King related guests appearing ... variant cover artists, etc.
Stuart Immonen
Sean Phillips
Dennis Calero

Keep in mind, my friends, that this event is COMPLETELY SOLD OUT and has been, for months.

I'm with you, Sam.

Every year I want to go, and just never end up attending.

One year, though, without a doubt.

Dave - You're a lucky guy!!!

I know half the tickets will sell out for next year, at the end of this year's con...

... then they go on sale to the general public and get gobbled up months and months in advance.

ok he he. they have had an ad in the mag "Wizard" since last year so i have no idea even what year it will be in? but ok will do man will do. i LOVE comics. in fact they just in the latest issue of "Wizard" said that my "Amazing Spiderman" issue #400 that's called a White Incentive edition jumped it's worth from $40.00 bucks to $80.00! i bought mine for cover price back when it 1st came out.

it was the death of "Aunt May" but i believe they brought her old gammy ass back to life. i dunno HOW they did that though? that woman is almost as old an "Andy fucking Rooney" & he's been around since "Moses" walked the Earth!

They said the Aunt May that died was a clone. Seriously.

I'm not sure if I will go but I have:

A signing by Charlie Adlard @ A Comic Shop
When
Thu, June 30, 2pm – 2pm

He is the guy that draws (not sure if he sketches, inks, etc) for the Walking Dead series. Where he is signing at is about 78 miles away so I'm not sure I will actually go but it's cool having the chance. Thanks for the link!

The 2012 Dallas Comic Con (May 19-20 2012) has announced that in addition to Mr. Stan Lee, Sir Patrick Stewart will be a guest! I absolutely cannot wait!!!! Met Mr. Lee at this year's con and he is unbelievably friendly. More guests will be announced in 2012...

So if you don't live here, start planning that trip now!
