As a direct conduit between film studios, TV networks and a devoted
audience of fans, San Diego Comic-Con can’t be beaten. The access to
never-before-seen footage and trailers, breaking news, celebrity guests
and tie-in merchandise is unparalleled. But it’s also about the sense of
community and camaraderie that develops among strangers united by a
common interest. There’s nothing to fear when sleeping rough on the street
in order to be at the front of the queue for the most popular panel the next
day; everybody’s looking out for you. Bonding with someone over which
series of Star Trek is the best (
The Next Generation
of course) can lead to a
lifelong friendship, or at least make an endless wait in line bearable. What
was once a guilty pleasure is now something to be celebrated, and terms
like ‘nerd’ and ‘geek’ are no longer derogatory. For four days every year, the
San Diego Convention Centre and surrounds becomes another world, where
humans and aliens, heroes and villains can all co-exist in a state of harmony,
and just as importantly, forget about real-life problems and focus on the
fun stuff. With the DC and Marvel universes expanding exponentially, new
and established television series attracting a greater viewership with every
season, and more and more characters being created to cosplay, that world
will continue to get a whole lot bigger.
