Comic Con: The Place for the Next Big Thing

The World

The words ?comic convention? can conjure up images of full grown men dressed as Jedi knights angling for a chance to get an autograph from William Shatner. While that might have been the case a dozen years ago, now Comic Con is the pop culture event of the year. Next week The ‘Con opens in San Diego, but it’s been sold out for weeks. Joining The Takeaway to discuss this event are Jeff Yang, columnist for the SF Chronicle and Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology, and Elisabeth Rappe, blogger for Cinematical.com.
