SDCC 2011: Return of the Photos

by Dan on July 24, 2011

Kat and I only had a hotel room through Friday night, so we drove home last night, collapsed, and today she set about sifting through the rest of her San Diego Comic-Con photos. Saturday was a busy one, with multiple panels and multiple autograph sessions at the Activision booth. Here’s the record of our final day, which includes big celebrities, packed rooms, skin-tight henchwomen, cute kids, blondes, a guy who loves tacos, the prerequisite zombie, and a mythical creature baffled by modern technology:

When I tell you that the Activision panel packed the room, believe it!

Peter David is one of the most charismatic people I've met in comics. Beenox's Dee Brown and Silicon Knights' Julian Spillane seem to agree.

Marvel.com editor-in-chief Ryan Penagos -- aka Agent_M on Twitter -- hosted the panel and kept things moving.

Then again, when one of your panelists is Stan Lee, things move pretty quickly anyway.

Julian Spillane talks about X-Men Destiny with two of its voice-actor stars, Jamie Chung and Scott Porter.

After Peter David made a reference to Val Kilmer's lovely locks, Val -- who is playing Walker Sloane in Edge of Time -- stroked Peter's shiny head.

It's just as well that I don't remember exactly what caused this.

Laura Vandervoort (Mary Jane) & Katee Sackhoff (Black Cat)

Katee was asked how she portrayed Black Cat. So she showed us.

Scott Porter proved his fan cred several times -- and even took down a hater in the crowd. He's playing Adrian in X-Men Destiny.

Shortly after the Activision panel, Marvel's own gaming panel took place, featuring Marvel VP TQ Jefferson, Denis Dyack from Silicon Knights and Activision's Doug Heder talking about X-Men Destiny.

Start them young. I can think of worse female role models!

Missing a few issues? In addition to a few folks in Ghillie suits and Black Ops t-shirts, we spotted the run of Ghost comics for sale.

Back at the Activision booth, during their autograph session, Peter and Laura spot some nerds in the crowd.

Stan Lee signed the wall the day before, so Laura and Peter added their names as well.

Thwip! Spidey and several Activision staffers posed for a fun photo.

You might not be able to make it out, Scott Porter sported an old-school Storm t-shirt during his signing with Jamie Chung.

So many people stopped to take photos that security had to do some crowd control in the aisles. It got crazy.

Maybe the unicorn should have thought about how to use a digital camera before creating the outfit...

I love it when total strangers who happen to match are willing to pose for photos together in an instant.

"Here, hold this idol." I'm sure she's trustworthy, Indy.

Who says females can't fight in wars? Meet Lady Mandalore.

Weta had a booth featuring these incredible ray guns. Pricey but awesome!

Zombie Stormtrooper. Because zombies make everything better.

All good things must come to an end.
