I know there are alot of people out there that did not attend Comic-Con, well I am also so one of those people. Though I did not go to Comic-Con, I did watch some of the panels and I did see some of the trailers, so here are some of the best things that happen at Comic-Con.
Tron Legacy Trailer!!!!
Now I will start by saying I have not seen the original Tron movie, but I can say that after seeing the new Tron legacy trailer I am very excited for this movie. The thing that really gets me about the trailer is not the special effects (even though they are beautiful), it is the music by Daft Punk. the music is epic and really gets you into the trailer. If you haven't seen the trailer hear it is for you to see...
Comics Comics Comics!!!
I don't know if anyone else knows, but there are still comics at comic-con. One of the big things that came out of comic con related to comics is that Amazing Spider-Man will be ending Brand New Day. I'll stop for a sec for everyone to cheer........okay. Now instead of Amazing spider-Man being printed Three times a month, instead it will only be coming out two times a month. After the current story arc is over there will be a new story arc called "Origin of the Species". To read more about the changes with spidey, and to see some pictures and some of Spider-Mans new costumes, go to this link below:

Animation
With the Avengers movie coming out, Marvel introduced their new show called "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" the show is planned to air on Disney XD in 2011, but before the show airs they will air a 20 part series that will explain each character of the team. the team will include all of the original members of the Avengers (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man/Giant-Man, and The Wasp). Also DC talked about their new animated series "Young Justice" which I can say I am very excited for. The team up consist of Robin, Superboy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Miss Martain, and Artemis, but the producers of the show said the team will expand. Also they said some people will die.
Avengers Assemble!!!!!
And last but not least the Avengers. How could I not talk about Comic-Con and not talk about the Marvel Studios Panel. I can't say much about the Captain America panel because I wasn't able to see the whole thing, but I heard that they had a little clip of the movie and they showed Captain America's costume. Now i did see most of the Thor panel and it was pretty good. They spoke with the director of the movie Kenneth Branagh, also Thor himself Chris Hemsworth and the rest of the cast. but the most exciting the about the panel was the FIVE MINUTE trailer they showed. The same trailer that everyone has been liking for for the past two days. I saw some footage from it and it looked great, heard all of it and it still seems great. At first i thought this movie was going to be bad, but I might just change my mind about that. Then before the panel ended, President of Production, Kevin Feige said, "There is one more thing". At that moment the lights went down and they showed the Avengers teaser trailer. when the lights came back on Samuel L. Jackson came to the podium and began by introducing Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chirs Hemsworth, and Robert Downey Jr. Robert then went by introducing Jeremy Renner ,who will play Hawkeye, and then demanded a warm welcome to Mark Ruffalo who will be replacing Edward Norton as Bruce Banner/ The Hulk.
Overall Comic-Con was great this year. I wish the only things that were at comic-con, were only things that have something to do with comics. There is no need for games like Gears of War or God of War to be at an event like Comic-Con.
