San Diego Comic Con 2009 - Sunday

This was the first Sunday where I decided to take a later flight. I was always under the assumption that Sunday’s at Comic Con were a bit more relaxing, less hustle and bustle and more importantly less crowded. Boy was I wrong. My fiancé and I were the last one’s standing as my friends that joined us left early in the morning. The only thing we were going to attend was the Smallville panel. We decided to take our time in the morning, assuming things would be easy going…. bad idea. Sure, we got to take our time and have a nice breakfast, but the convention floor was as crowded as ever. It might as well have been preview night. When we got to the Smallville panel in Ballroom 6, we made it in the knick of time. They cut the line shortly after we entered.

The Smallville panel included the following guests: Jeph Loeb, Tom Welling, Allison Mack, Erica Durance, Cassidy Freeman, Justin Hartley and Callum Blue. This was a great panel as this was Tom Welling’s first appearance at Comic Con. Obviously, the girls in the audience swooned over Tom Welling. The first Q&A question was classic. A dude dressed in a Batman costume (ala Tim Burton) asked, “When am I going to be on the show?” This set the stage for the rest of the panel which was very entertaining. Geoff Johns popped in to ask Callum Blue to receipt the phrase “Kneel before Zod,” as his character will appear in the next season. For some reason, asking for a signed copy of their table name tags seemed overly popular.

After the Smallville panel, we caught a glimpse of where the celebrities were entering and exiting from. We waited around to see who would come through. Not waiting too long we saw Jennifer Love Hewit and Jamie Kennedy walk through the doors. From there, we decided to spend the rest of our time wandering the main exhibit hall.

This marks the end of my San Diego Comic Con 2009 week.
