I still have a bunch of San Diego pictures of my own to upload, which I plan to do later today (once I’m a little more awake and my San Diego hangover has subsided). But Newsarama’s Vaneta Rogers was also at the show and sent me the pictures she didn’t use for her Comic-Con Floor Buzz post. Thanks Vaneta!
The picture below features a couple dressed as the WWE’s Hurricane and Molly Holly (I forget what her superhero name was … Might Molly, or something like that?) Besides these costumes and the appearance by Sgt. Slaughter at the G.I. Joe booth, the WWE was pretty quiet at the show. no doubt as a result of the Benoit tragedy. I know in previous years they’ve had wrestlers there to promote movies or themselves, like Kane and Rob Van Damme. But then again, the con is huge, and I’m still seeing names of stars and pros who I never realized were there.
In the area of the dealer floor that I like to call the Movie Madness Area of Death and Delight, there was a lot to take pictures of, which didn’t help the traffic flow. What I found interesting, though, was that it was easier to walk through there on Saturday afternoon than at any other time I was there because of all the big movie/TV panels.

That last photo of the little kid at the table is my favorite. I was standing behind David Finch’s table, waiting to talk to him (more on that later today) — and there was this dad giving all these comics to Finch to sign, but his kid was standing in front of him just watching, so little that his head barely popped over the edge of the table. I took a photo of him. Then he stared at me. I winked at him. He winked back. Great kid.
The kids at the con were a mixture of tired and cranky … and totally wide-mouthed and overwhelmed by the giant statues and pirate ships. I felt both admiration and pity for them!
