"Hollywood ruined Comic-Con," I've heard it said. I've only been to the one in Long Beach, which was fun, but even that was overrun with film studios marketing their adaptations. I like the idea that there are more people interested in and reading comic books, and the movie have some responsibility for that. But I imagine, for a comic book fan, SD Comic-Fan feels a bit like celebrity invaded their book fair. I'd go to meet and greet the artists and writers and resent all the crowds of people there because of Heroes and the next horror film release, etc.

Definitely heard that it's way too big. Unpleasantly crowded. And so on.
