Today’s Comic-Con Countdown Notes

* ladies and gentlemen, start your Airborne.

* if you don't follow message board threads, there are a couple pertaining to comics pros being in San Diego and what they'll be doing here and here.

* a classy downtown casino of a Comic-Con guide to this site's horrifying On-The-Strip monstrosity, Mark Evanier's The Official POVOnline Convention Guide has lots of good advice and is written in Mark's soothing, jocular tone. I read it before CCI to get in the mood the way some people read Charles Dickens before Christmas. OC Weekly has a guide, too. Since they're sort of local, I guess that makes them the Orleans.

* veteran con-goer Jeff Smith makes his plans.

* let the newspaper feature previews begin: Riverside, Phoenix, Orange County.

* SLG notes the focus of the LA Times dedicated web site covering the convention.

* speaking of the movies side of the show, Fox pulls out of their big presentation due to stuff not being ready or content concerns, depending on who's talking. The OC Weekly article notes that a preview of Batman Fights Heath Ledger or whatever it's called is being held for Wizard World Chicago. If that's for any reason other than it's not ready yet, that's kind of interesting.

* if you haven't been keeping up with this site's list of PR notices regarding the show, there have been a bunch of additional people writing in and it might be worth your time to scan it for publishers and creators that interest you.
