SF Comic Con is new. First time. It's a new marketing ploy from Imaginarium, a promo company that has coat-tailed on Comic Con, which never trademarked the title. They produce these events all around the country...well Tampa Bay and Indiana.
You guys are thinking of WonderCon, which was a genuine subsidiary of the real San Diego Comic Con. WonderCon was in SF from the late 80s to 2011. I went to the last one to interview a young starlet named Saoirse Ronan for a forgettable film called Hanna (see http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/arti...rticle=956). She was lovely, and has since been nominated for 2 Oscars. WonderCon was huge, held in the Moscone Center. This new Comic Con probably won't be nearly as big; it's in the Marriott. It will pale in comparison to the new Silicon Valley Comic Con, which I went to earlier this year.
So yeah, I was one of those overweight pasty white dudes in a black t-shirt with a superhero logo. No wait. How could that be?
