The California stop of Comi-con '09 has just passed us by with even more nerdy glory than ever before. Actually, it might be fair to say that with the advent of big-budget comic book cinematic adaptions and sci-fi hitting great television ratings Comi-con is becoming more and more mainstream every year. Today, we'll take a little trip through some of the more interesting developments and previews of this year's Cirque-De-Sci-Fi:
If you've never seen the Showtime original series, then you should. It follows a serial killer named Dexter, who also happens to chase serial killers as a member of the Miami Metro Police Department. Total sickness, at it's best.
TR2N is a really weird way of saying "Tron 2". This trailer is something of a lower quality, but we like it because you really get the excitement of the crowd. The original Tron is so classic that even today there are little Tron cults all over that like to pretend like the original had really great special effects. TR2N will probably PWN all over it.
This bizarre and vintage-looking trailer is for a film named Mutant Swinger from Mars, which captures some of that old school cult-classic vibe we've come to expect from the sci-fi portion of Comi-con. Variety is the spice of life, don't ya know?
Okay, okay! Here's the mainstream portion of our post! After the huge success and critical acclaim of the first Iron Man movie, the world will be expecting a whole lot from the sequel. Alas, no official trailer for Iron Man 2, just yet. This one is for the official video game, slated for release right alongside the movie. Sorry, guys.
Naturally, we couldn't let you get away without exposing you to what Comi-con is REALLY all about. That is, gawking at weirdos that use the event as an excuse to dress up rather inappropriately for days. Quote of the Year: "I am never normal at the beginning of a photo." You ain't kidding!
