San Diego Comic Con

I looked at Entertainment Weekly today, one from a couple weeks ago and noticed it was the San Diego Comic Con edition. I thumbed through it and noticed it had one manga comic book listed - for "Twilight". Many people asked why I did not go to Comic Con this year and that right there sums it up. Why would the new "Sherlock Holmes" movie be there... is it based on a comic book? I know there has been comic based on the famous investigator, but I am sure that was not even discussed. That is only one of the many examples of what Comic Con has turned into - a huge media promotion for movies. Comic Books are totally lost there. It is really sad to me that a place that was a haven for comic book publishers is basically a circus for the entertainment industry. I am glad that there is something for the pop culture medium, but really change the name to reflect what it really is...POP CULTURE CON. It would make it easy to swallow when I am told that being a comic book publisher that next year is already sold out to companies that has nothing to do with comics.
