San Diego is a busy town this week and weekend. 120,000 fans of comics, sci-fi, video
games and movies are swarming all over the San Diego Convention Center this week.
Lines started forming down Harbor Drive of fans waiting to claim their Comic-Con
passes before the festival began. Thousands of fans crowded the convention center to
collect freebies and to view displays from movie studios, comic-book publishers, video
game companies and toy manufacturers. Celebrities are expected to promote upcoming
movies, tv shows and take part of panel discussion. Celebrities, movie trailers, games,
costume contest, and, of course, comic books are all part of the Comic Con entertainment
for the SO MANY fans!
