Did you have to pay extra for the robot man water sports?

The Green Hornet car was revealed last night. Go to youtube, you're bound to find it. It's a shiny black car with giant machine guns on the hood. And they pointed green lights at it.

Now go pick up my Toynami Naruto & Bleach exclusives. :D

That's too bad. I went in 2001 and it was awesome. It was huge, but I had no problem getting into the panels I wanted and meeting tons of writers, artists, etc. Although at the time, ComicCon was really more about comics, rather than all things nerdish. There wasn't much in the way of movie displays, and the biggest panels were for Spider-Man (the comic, not the movie).

I can't imagine that the con organizers intend for the Twilight/New Moon line to be a general-purpose "Hall H line" on which anyone who wants to go to any other panels must queue. It's too well-run an operation for that. I'd be willing to bet a small amount of money that they'll establish other lines for other Hall H panels. I also bet they clear the hall entirely prior to the Twilight panel in order to ensure that the people camping out get in (and to protect the previous panels from being filled by Twilight fans who aren't actually interested in whatever the previous panel is about).

I heard that the session right after Twilight has people trying to sit through sparkly vamps in order to secure a seat. Avatar, maybe?

I hope to god all the Twilight fans go home tonight, their fangirlism sated, leaving SDCC for the rest of the geeks Fri-Sun. While I really wanted to see the Alice in Wonderland and Bruce Campbell panels, if I don't get run over by stampeding Twilighters, it'll be worth missing Thursday.

Saturday took me by complete surprise the first time i went, the crowd was insane. I got really tired of people blocking the aisles to take pictures of the cos players and found myself going upstairs just to get one from side to the other.

I love how the "My Little Pony" banner hangs over Bumblebee's left shoulder. Maybe there is something going on there.

Last year the crowds were fairly uniform from day to day, because all four full days had sold out. Every day was like Saturday.

Personally, if anything I think the MK III looks better than the newer MK IV armor. MK III looks beefier. MK IV seems almost too sleek.

is anyone else being constantly forced to another page of ads from the mian page? every few seconds I am, please fix it TR.

So some sites covering the Twilight holdings tell people to be kind with their comments; a little snarkiness is okay but be too rough and not only will the comment be deleted, but so will the username.

I call foul on this. How many of those girls would mock us for taking an interest in all things geek, and now that they are given some floor space for some pre-teen erotica written by a hack writer, there's a limit on the mocking?

You're on our turf now, sisters! You can't handle the heat, then get out of the kitchen...or rather back INTO the kitchen!

Rob as much as we all (Bay fanboys excluded) have crapped on RotF I'm suprised you didn't drown.

...The Hall H - otherwise referred to in SDCC Tweets as "Hell Hall" - mess was pretty much predicted by most of the comic book news sites. The Twitards(*) have basically ruined any other panels happening before the Twilight panel, but it is expected that within an hour following the end of that panel, most if not all of the Twitards will be out the door and gone, having bought nothing from the dealer's tables and done naught but help stink up the place. The word being tweeted out is that the AC system at the con can't keep up with the body heat of the masses, and that a lot of the Twitards aren't wearing any deodorants or perfumes to mask their stench.

Makes me so damn glad that I couldn't go this year because I've only got one leg...

(*) I've coined that phrase. You may use it for it is accurate!

@OM Is that pronounced "TWI-tards" as in "Twilight Retards" or "TWEE-tards" as in "Tweeting Retards"? Context honestly could go either way.

...TWI-Tards. I probably should mod that so that it's got the hyphen. Good catch.

Went last summer and it was amazing, mostly 'cause of all the Watchmen hype and people like Simon Pegg, Ralph Bakshi, Max Brooks, Joss Whedon, etc.

I thought this year would be disappointing for one reason: No Ray Bradbury.

Sort-of off-topic, but I think this is a great quote that should definitely be used out-of-context:

"it'd be cool if there was some way to harness all those screaming teen girls..."

Just think how our energy needs would be solved if someone could build a scream-harnessing machine like they did in Monsters, Inc!

@OM: The phrase 'twitard' has been around for quite some time now, at least since the fans started calling themselves 'twihards'.

I take back the comment about missing Thursday being worth it to avoid the Twitards. Johnny Depp is at the Alice panel right now. Now there's someone worth fangirling over, at least. Stupid working on Thursday.

"The word being tweeted out is that the AC system at the con can't keep up with the body heat of the masses"

@OM: That's nothing new at all. I haven't been since '07, but even then the place was as warm as a dog's mouth.

Just wait 'til Saturday! Yum!

Ok. Why didn't they have a seperate line/padded room for the twilight "fans" so that you could go to the tron panel?!!!
Also If the Bandai panel is nothing but more Gundam releases then I'll be a little upset.

It is a LONGSTANDING policy of Comic-Con to NOT clear rooms/halls between panels.

If you want to see a panel, you generally have to sit through (insert number here based on popularity) panels first.

Sheesh, what are you people, Con-virgins?

@Zod: dangit, I was going to take Sean T. Collins up on his offer to bet!

I went last year and...eh. I don't like standing in line for 6 hours in order to get into one popular panel and therefore missing interesting stuff that's going on elsewhere. And you have to put up with so many dumbasses, like the guy last year who took the mike at a Batman panel to urge that Batman be allowed to use guns 'cuz it would be kewl. I have to admit, though, the vendors' hall is awesome...

I love how that pic of the Bumblebee statue makes it look like the man in the cap is effectively trying to get an up-skirt shot on it.

I think this Twilight thing has gone a bit too far. It's ridiculous! The fans are just absolutely bat#$%@ crazy!!!! At least the fans of Harry Potter are mostly well behaved this time around!

I saw the suits there, and I didn't realize that the new one was there. Thanks for letting me know, and shame on Marvel for not making it look a bit more different.

i was going to say pretty much the same thing as dukechuck. it's a great thing, that banner over bumblebee's shoulder.

The giant Castle Greyskull brought back so many awesome memories!
I had a the Castle & action figures as a kid. I think I was the only female in my area who had them lol.

My friend and I were walking through a hall by Ballroom 20 when all the sudden we heard tons of people screaming at the top of their lungs. We figured either someone famous had walked into the hall or an epic geek fight was going down, so we adjusted course to check it out. Turned out someone was running up and down the hall with a sign that said "Scream if Twilight ruined ComicCon!" We thought it was pretty funny...
