arrow WonderCon attracts thousands of fans

IMG_0208.JPGThere were no signs of problems with the economy at this year's WonderCon in San Francisco. Thousands packed the Moscone Center South over the weekend to chat with comic book illustrators, get some early looks at new TV and film projects and spend lots of money.

A few years ago, I decided not to return to ComicCon in San Diego. That summer event has grown to the point it is way to big to enjoy. WonderCon, now in its 23rd year, continues to grow. But, it is still the right size to draw the likes of "Watchmen" actors to talk with fans but not so big you get crushed trying to deal with vendors.

It was certainly productive. Look for interviews in the next few weeks with actors from "Alien Trespass," "Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles," "Chuck," "Wonder Woman," "Adventureland" and "Angel of Death."

I did get the chance to chat with McG, the director of "Terminator Salvation." He says Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been approached to make an appearance in the movie. He's not certain if the Governor's people will think being in the movie is a good move.

For those of you who did not make the trek to San Francisco over the weekend, here are a few photographs of the people places and things that could be seen:

This post just reminded me of something my 13-year-old daughter just told me. She said she wished that someone would make a live-action Powder Puff Girls movie.
Any idea?
