What do Digitalsmiths, Comic-Con, Warner Bros., the cast of “Chuck,” Bon Jovi and Leonard Nimoy have in common? A lot.
Last week, more than 125,000 pop culture fans descended upon the San Diego Convention Center to hobnob with comic book heroes, celebrities and fellow gamers for what has become an annual pilgrimage. If you were lucky enough to get a ticket, you enjoyed four jam-packed days of events, parties and celebrations.
Meanwhile, back at Digitalsmiths’ headquarters, we worked feverishly to give you a ring-side seat to Comic-Con 2009. We teamed with TheWB.com to bring the Comic-Con experience right to your doorstep. This year, TheWB.com unleashed a crew on the show floor to report on events, interview celebrities, spotlight attendees in wild costumes and highlight interesting panel discussions to give you an in-the-trenches digital media experience. All of this was brought to you up to the minute through the VideoSense platform at http://www.thewb.com/comiccon.
If you missed it or are already experiencing Comic-Con withdrawal symptoms, check it out and let me know about your favorite clip. Being from eastern Pennsylvania, Bon Jovi is one of my favorite bands… check out the cast of “Chuck” covering Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name” via Rock Band.
Enjoy!
