Strike Back below!
by: Mike Sampson Jul. 23, 2009

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: For those who missed it (although you can still access our panel coverage below), AUGUST 21st will be considered AVATAR DAY as the film will be taking over as many IMAX 3D theaters plus selected 3D theaters and letting a global audience come to see 15 minutes of AVATAR for free!!!

NOTE: We're doing something different this year. We're gonna be covering most of the Comic Con panels LIVE from the hall in which they're being presented, so you can follow us LIVE via the COVER IT LIVE widget below. You can also post your comments into the widget, but we will be moderating those comments, of course. Enjoy!

The NEW MOON panel is finally over and it's the calm before the storm. It's eerily quiet in Hall H as the masses patiently await the first footage of AVATAR. I've got my 3D glasses ready and I'll be liveblogging the affair below...

What the ..........?
Soooooo, how about some actual descriptions of what was seen.. "It's hard to even describe.."??? Really? That's the extent of your reporting? I can just imagine the uproar if that was how Cronkite reported America's moon landing; "It's hard to describe........... And that's the way it is - July 20th, 1969. This is Walter Cronkite, CBS News; good night." Come, give us MORE!!

Re: The Trailer
I just found a press release which states that not only will the fifteen minutes of footage be shown in theatres on the 21st August, but that the trailer will debut everywhere (including online) on that day as well.

You can find it here:

good job reporting this...
but the questions seemed to really suck (these people get the privledge to watch this and ask questions and they abuse it by asking a question about a sandwich?); and besides that Aug 21st announcment (whichi won't be able to make) I was kind of let down...where's the trailer!?

Straight up, the Comic Con is pretty well known for LAME-O audience questions. We're lucky that there was no BIG STARS on the panel, otherwise there would have been a lot of "Can I come up there and get a kiss from you?" types of questions... ;)

Yeah the guy who asked about James Cameron's eating habits really is a bit of wasted matter.

Awesome live stuff
Horrible information. Aside from the clips they showed (Which we did not see) the questions were horrible and not much was revealed. For the most anticipated panel of the year... it seemed quite dissapointing.
