TV Guide visits Comic-Con

I spent an hour the other night watching a special on the TV Guide Channel titled “Comic-Con: Sci-Fi Unleashed.” It’s amazing how much mainstream coverage the San Diego Comic-Con got this year; all the wire services were there, it seems, and Entertainment Weekly devoted several pages to it. The big news isn’t comics, exactly: The focus has been more on the Comic-Con as a pop-culture hub and a must-stop for Hollywood types. Still, anything that brings favorable attention to the world of comics is a good thing.
