In this two-part followup to her "Who Would You Queue To See" article, the inimitable WorldofHiglet covers the events and people of Comic-Con 2008 with fave moments and news bits. If you didn't make it this year, you'll feel like an insider once you read her wrap-up. Part 1 follows the exploits of Joss Whedon and Felicia Day...
Where to start? With an event like the San Diego Comic Con it’s always going to be about what you leave out. So I’m not going to talk about how some of the ‘respected commentators’ are saying the Con was too crowded, there was too little access for ‘real journalists’ and that the parties were too hard to get into. If you want to know more about that and why one of them is saying the Con has now actually ‘jumped the fridge’ (say what?!) then please read the great Con dissection in io9.com.
In part 2 of WorldofHiglet's round-up, she covers Nathan Fillion, California Browncoats/Kids Need to Read, Tabitha Grace Smith, Wil Wheaton, Pink Raygun, Scott Sigler, and Jessica Mae Stover. Whoa! After all that, you'll feel just like you were there. (Except maybe without the credit card bill, and all the swag.)
