It’s the most wonderful time of the year — that is, if you’re a fanboy or girl in San Diego this week. That’s right: Comic-Con has officially started. And this year’s confab isn’t too shabby, with Steven Spielberg making his first appearance to discuss his motion-capture movie ‘The Adventures of Tintin.’ And, of course, there’s the unveiling of Andrew Garfield as the new Spider-man.
But TV is also proving to be a big draw at this year’s sold-out event. Ballroom 20, Comic-Con’s room dedicated to television, will feature panel presentations from HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘True Blood’ and AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead.’
And several studios are planning to screen pilots, including J.J. Abrams’ ‘Alcatraz’ and ‘Person of Interest,’ and Kevin Williamson’s ‘The Secret Circle.’ There’s also ‘Terra Nova,’ ‘Once Upon a Time’ and ‘Grimm.’
If you weren’t lucky enough to score a ticket to the annual geek pilgrimage, rest easy. Our sister blog Hero Complex has reporters on the floor to cover as much of the madness as possible.
