Highlights of the San Diego Comic Con International 2014
by Tommy Anderson

Every July the City of San Diego hosts the iconic Comic Con International at the San Diego Convention Center. Hundreds of
thousands of spectators, fans, and cos-players show up many in costume for this major international event. We are bringing you
highlights from last year's show just to give you a taste of what you are in for if you decide to attend.
It was a chance for many to see their favorite stars in some cases meet and talk with those from television and the silver screen
who have stared in their favorite syfy, fantasy, thriller shows. The event was also the unveiling of many new season shows, new
shows, and movies for the new season such as “Gotham”, “Constantine”, “Blacklist”, and The Walking Dead” just to name a few.
The show included numerous panels that you could attend which hosted numerous movie and television stars that described their
past, present, or future series and allowed for questions and answers from the attendees. In all of the cases these were limited
events and the lines were very long to attend them.
In addition to all of this the pavilions were filled with vendors selling movie, television props and memorabilia, graphic artists,
costumes, and so much more.
The whole event was so overwhelming and spilled over into most of the San Diego Gas Lamp District. In fact the event was so large
it would be hard to see everything even if you attended the entire 4 day event.
