What's kinda funny is that I'm interested only in comics, and I've lost interest in the Con since it expanded into so many other areas. The Comic Con name really doesn't fit anymore.

I saw some hot chick dressed like Elektra yesterday. I didn't realize that Elektra wore a thong...and not much else.

From what I've gathered is that the comic-aspect has stayed relatively the same but it's the other areas that have grown. From comic-lovers, the best thing about Con is that you can meet a lot of artists. They're still there in big numbers.

j123vt_99: what's your story? How did you make out? Get all the signings you wanted? Make it in time? Was your mind blowed up?

Just happy that I got a picture with Paula Garces



She wouldn't spill any beans about the last season of The Shield other than that she's in it for until the series finale.

More sights from Comic Con...



Some group of Heroes


Bryce Dallas Howard - Terminator Salvation


Jet Li & Brendan Fraser - Mummy 3


Amber Heard - Pineapple Express

I'll post more pics tomorrow... but, for now, here's the hottest Wonder Woman at Comic-Con. Click for the larger version (highly recommended )

For those of you with XBOX LIVE who never check out the "Inside XBOX" feature, they've been running short Comic Con daily updates that you can view on your 360. For Sunday's update they showed highlights of The Watchmen panel. They even gave a quick glimpse inside the Owl Ship displayed at the show.

They were giving away 5 special edition "Watchmen" XBOX 360s. If you check out Suprmallet's blog you'll spot what it looks like.

Yeah, the inside of the Owl Ship was very detailed. They had a side door open so you could peek inside (Along with a sign on the door step that said "Do not step here. You might fall and die"). Here's a look towards the front of the ship. It's hard to see but the monitors all had various data displayed. Also the entire interior was detailed.

One change from previous years is that the entire south end of the convention center was devoted to video gaming. I saw Tera Patrick (along with a lot of security) signing posters at one of them.

I missed it the first time too but I spotted the "Happy Face" banner in the air and saw the ship under it. I can't remember exactly which aisle but here are a couple pics:

The Dharma booth was very small and easy to miss, though it was located on a busy corner. Another pic for your enjoyment:

The Owl ship was, not surprisingly, at the giant WB booth. Both the WB booth and the Xbox booth were giving away WB-licensed Xbox 360's (Watchmen, Justice League, Terminator, and...something else I'm forgetting.

Zack Snyder gave me a tour of the owl ship. It's pretty amazing, although it's hot as shit inside there. Here's the video I shot:

Awesome video... thanks for posting it.

Suprmallet. Here's a pic I took of you on Preview Night. Maybe we should've done a pic on the last day and you could do a "before and after" comparison on your blog.

That brunette ghostbuster is mighty fine (a la Kate Beckinsale/Olivia Munn, but fresher).

The booth gal next door dressed as the Black Cat was hotter.

I was hoping to get a picture of Olivia Munn and Tera Patrick together. That would have been a sammich to get into. I always thought of Olivia Munn as Tera Patrick Jr.
