So with all the features this year, what will you be looking forward to?
I'm hoping with this we get to see some looks into Iron Man 2 and the other Marvel films coming up. Some footage would be nice if leaked (kind of the wolverine footage from last year's comic con). Tr2n footage is supposed to be featured as well. That would be nice to see more of. In addition the new Marvel animes. Hmm, a Wolverine and Iron Man anime. I wonder how that will be. The long list of games to be featured and of course the new comics and continuing stories.
Any thoughts on this year's comic-con?
(oh yeah, evidently there's supposed to be some big shocking star wars news. We'll see)
