I love Comic-Con and had a blast attending the 2011 event. Where else can you hear Steven Spielberg introduce his next movie (at the time, TinTin) from a personal standpoint, Peter Jackson, Josh Whedon and others like them passionately passing out their takes on story and life? An experience I will not forget.
But what I didn’t realize is the size and passion of the growing cons around the world, starting with Canada and other American versions (NYC Con is second domestically at 116K) attendees but also Japan’s version( Comicket) and Europe’s version (Angouleme) both over 200K!!
Guess it’s no wonder that Hollywood continues to pay such close attention to this built in and growing fan base.
