Buzz Watch: Comic-Con Is A Force To Be Reckoned With

Authored by Jay Baage on July 24, 2008 - 7:51am.

More than 125,000 guests are expected at Comic-Con, the four-day comic-book convention taking place this weekend in San Diego. The preview night for Comic-Con 2008 just wrapped up (see Mahalo Daily's report embedded above) and it's interesting to see how an old media product such as the comic book has bridged into most areas of media (both old and new) like movies, gaming and, of course television and online video. Content is still king and Comic-Con has become the place to be for many new media companies and producers looking to get "buzz" for their new stuff. Lost-creator J.J. Abrams has been inspired by comic-books for many of his productions and he embraced the opportunity to give the audience a sneek-peek of his new TV series, “Fringe“ (read more about it here).
