Seen At Comic Con: Preview Night

by Ben Reeves on Jul 20, 2011 at 10:21 PM

GI has landed in San Diego and is taking in the sights and sounds of San Diego Comic-Con 2011. Check out our gallery of today’s snaps from the show floor, demos, and industry parties. Wish you were here (not really, that would just make it more crowded.)

Comic-Con doesn't officially start until the 21, but all week the city has slowly been preparing itself for the nerd convergence. Spider-vehicles are rolling over building, movie posters scale hotel walls, and the streets are lines with flyers that people have been trying to hand the crowd. Check out some pics below.

Some of Sand Diego's hotel elevators are terrifying

Sega was still setting up their off-site event room, but Sonic is everywhere

A giant LEGO statue of Conan's Flaming C is in an art gallery (for some reason)

Before the Con started, Spider-Man artist Humberto Ramos continued the Marvel tradition of drawing on the walls at San Diego's Palm Restaurant. No one was happy with Phil's drawing of Squirrel Girl

Ben hung out with whatever that guy from Adventure Time is called. Ben was definitely the more excited one

A taste of what's to come
