i enoyed this DVD thoroughly! as a Comic Con attendee for the past 9 years I really got a feel for some of the personalities(myself included) that make the con a must see for me every year. To be honest I think anyone interested in “mega-events” would enjoy this as it puts into perspective some of the people who live in the fringe groups as closet nerds and hardcore fans and allows us a glimpse into their world even if for just the briefest of moments. flush with funny stories, anecdotes, and nonsense this is a must have for anyone who has ever attended(or considered attending) a sci-fi, comic book, horror, fantasy, star trek, doctor who, anime, manga, et al convention…

Though this video isn’t perfect for everyone, it’s great for those that want to remember or relive what comic-con ‘08 was like.
The majority of the video consists of interviews with both attendees and booth runners. Though a couple interviews come out a little flat, there’s some wonderful ones in there. The Troma (did a pile of B grade cult classics like “Toxic Avenger”) interview is particularly good.

They do a great job of capturing the chaos and the fun of San Diego Comic Con, and showing the personalities that make it all work.
Or, not work.
