The 2010 Comic-Con event in San Diego is coming at us pretty fast. Plans are set, travel itineraries cemented and the anticipation of little sleep, survival rations and Kindle books (Amazon: Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 6) are at the ready. I suggest books because if you head off to Hall H, the lines can sometimes be pretty long! In fact, very long. One year, it wrapped out the door, around the south end of the building to the west side of the convention center, and then all the way back across the back of the entire convention center, W of the hotels down the walk path, and down the bay for a little bit longer. I am not sh**ing you! Bring books, extra phone batteries, or lots of cards to play games with.

7/22: 10:00-11:00 DreamWorks Animation: Megamind— DreamWorks Animation makes its Comic-Con debut with Megamind. The characters Megamind and Metro Man are jettisoned to Earth as babies when their home planets are destroyed. Megamind crash-lands inside a maximum-security prison, where he evolves into the wicked and diabolical genius he is today, while the dashingly handsome superhero Metro Man grows into the universally adored savior of Metro City, beloved by every man, woman and child — and especially the city’s ace reporter Roxanne Ritchi. These life-long archenemies will rewrite superhero movie lore when they challenge each other to the ultimate showdown of Good vs. Evil! Megamind stars Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Jonah Hill and director Tom McGrath join forces to unveil footage from DreamWorks Animation’s November 5 release.
