Comic con is all about Hall H and of course that means I spent most of my time in this giant cluster of geekgasm fun. Some very awesome things happened here.
The Avengers. Honestly I really should just put The Marvel panel as a whole because we kicked things off with Caption America which we actual received a tidbit of footage and shots of Capt in costume. Nice way to kick things off, Then we saw pure awesome video of Thor, Which heading into comic con i was pretty down on this movie. But after seeing the footage i must say Very impressed.
The CGI was still a bit underwhelming in scenes but given the time before release i think this could work out very well. Plus the movie still seems to have that nice mix of serious and funny that made Iron Man such a great film.
But the best moment of the Marvel panel was at the end when star after star came out on strange including Sam Jackson, Robert Downy jr and the director himself Joss Whedon. This moment was just insane, Words nor even video could tell you how things went down. Watching the video is cool and all but being there Live when it all happened was just something you had to be here live. Thank you comic con for that.

Paul. This is a little movie staring these british dudes, Simon Pegg and Nick frost from Shawn of the dead and Hott Fuzz fame. I can not put into words how awesome this movie looks. The CGI was pretty clean for being this early on. Also of course having something to do with Comic COn in the movie is always a plus. Seth Rogen is going to be an Awesome Alien. Seeing these guys on sage together to show us such a funny looking movie was a highly without doubt. If you dont know anything about this movie check it out.
Ryan Reynolds. Movie stars are cool an all but something they step above and beyond the typical "Hey" to fans or whatever makes them cool. Well Ryan Reynolds first of all was asked to speak the Green Lantern Oath from a young fan(I would say around age 6) that was simply way beyond adorable and Ryan went ahead and agve us the Oath. Which sounded Awesome. His voice is dead on for that Oath. Then he went onto sign some comics and stuff for the kid. So awesome. Really made me like Ryan even more as a person. I just hope this movie is as cool.
Live Totally Rad Show, Most everyone that reads TheBreel more than likely knows what TRS is but if you dont head over to www.revision3.com to check it out. But comic con every year is about one thing to me. Family. That is my revision3 or my TRS family and the live shows are always a time of happiness. This live show didnt disappoint as the creators of the devil with in and Lost room both made appearances, As did the TRS moms(awesome ladies that brought swag) Hanging out with everyone who waited in line and sat around me was really cool. Cant wait to do it next year as well.
Cowboys & Aliens shocked me more than probably any movie that was shown at this years comic con, It was pure awesomeness that has just begun filming. Most people expected to see director Jon Favreau come out and show us some photos from the set and what not but instead he brought out the cast of the film including for this first time ever Harrison Ford. To which the whole Hall H stood on their feet and applauded. Amazing moment in Comic Con history. Also add in the fact that we saw 8 minutes of footage, Not horrible footage either. Some people might complain that the alien attack was poor but remember people that this has only been filming for a very very short amount of time. I think it was Dave from www.geeksofdoom.com said the alien lights looked like a ride from universal studios. I would agree but given the chance to have fine cgi worked on it, this movie will be amazing.
Many many awesome things happened at comic con, but that is a very solid given. But I among others at first thought the show was going to be pretty weak, with a horrible Friday event(well lacked the huge movies of previous years) The show ended on a good note on Saturday night, not after horrible events took place.
But if you went to this years comic con what was your favorite thing?
I think i will write up a Worst of comic con as well.
The more I read about Comic Con from all my TRS friends the more I wish I could have been there.
