Comic Con 2008

Well Comic Con 2008 came and went. This year the con was sold out and the amount of people there each day was just mind blowing. You could hardly walk on the Exhibit floors moving from one location to the next. Even on the last day, there was an abundant amount of traffic at Comic Con. Ashley and Arielle had a lot of fun especially at the Nickelodeon and Disney booths. I wasn't able to take any pictures of them because they are still at that stage where big mascots or lifelike representations of the characters still scare them. This event has grown from year to year. It's not all about comics anymore, it more like this convention is all about representing America's Pop Culture. Comics, movies, games, pretty much anything that allows you to escape reality just to take a breather and enjoy yourself. I got to see a lot of nostalgic toys, comics, and animations that I grew up with. The new transformer toy lines look really good as well as the stars wars and GI Joes figures. Got to see a glimpse of the HD quality for Ironman on Blu Ray and this is a must buy. All and all, Comic Con was a blast. I hope that as the popularity grows year to year that they think about having the Comic Con stretched out for a week instead of 4 days. If this year was an indication of what is to come, they need to make this a longer event. Well until next year. I've included so photos of some of the booth displays.
