If you’ve never been to San Diego Comic Con, I think it would be hard to imagine the absolute insanity it can be. I’ve only been once, years ago, and there’s just something so surreal about being in a nice restaurant in the city’s Gaslamp quarter only to look out the window and see a gang of Stormtroopers and Wolverines running wildly down the street. And no one really reacts, it’s just a common thing!
Below we have the first trailer for the Morgan Spurlock documentary COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN’S HOPE, an intimate look inside the world of geekdom and at those who make the event the cultural phenomenon that it has become.
