Last year the big news was Jim Shooter would be coming to Dark Horse to relaunch Valiant and Gold Key heroes and now a year later, that news flash is becoming reality. If I missed something bigger than this or some other big news from last year, let me know.
This year, I'm seeing lots of tiny flashes and twitter updates and so forth, but so far, I haven't seen any newsworthy morsel I can think of. I'm sure I just haven't been paying enough attention and to be honest, I havent. So with the convention currently going down, what is the biggest news to come out of it so far? Or is it all just lame???

I've heard nothing. SDCC is becoming more of a multimedia convention. There is too much money outside of the comics arena swaying the decisions made for the convention.

The DH/Shooter announcement last year was more of a footnote made toward the end of show, the biggest thing I heard from SDCC 09 was Marvel Comics getting the rights to Marvelman.
The biggest news from this year's show is that Joss Whedon is writing and directing the live action Avengers movie and that four memembers of Fred Phelps' traveling freakshow was protesting SDCC because they think "fans are going to Hell for worshiping comic book/anime/video game characters" and a much larger counter-protest (some reports said as many as 1000) showed up and made fun of them.

Biggest news from this year's SDCC I've seen yet.... Nerds getting violent!!! robot6.comicbookresources.com/2010/07/sdcc-10-scuffle-over-seats-in-hall-h-ends-in-stabbing/ SDCC '10 | Scuffle over seats in Hall H ends in stabbing * Posted on July 24, 2010 - 05:57 PM by Kevin Melrose Comic-Con International Multiple reports are emerging out of Comic-Con International this afternoon of a scuffle over seats in Hall H, ending in a stabbing. The massive room, where many of the film presentations are held, was locked down, and a man led away by police in handcuffs. Although details are scarce at the moment, Dread Central reports the fight erupted just as the Resident Evil: Afterlife panel was ending about 4:45 p.m. PST. The fight between two attendees allegedly broke out when one of them refused to change seats. According to Dread Central, one man stabbed the other in the eye with a pen. The lockdown of Hall H means panels for Paul and Cowboys & Aliens have been delayed, leading the hotly anticipated Marvel Studios presentation to be pushed back. Comic Book Resources is attempting to contact Elite Security, the San Diego Police Department and area hospitals for more details. We'll update as more information is available. |

You shouldn't really judge though. What if the guy deserved to be stabbed? What if he spit on the seat or put a chewed piece of chewing gum there? What if someone had insulted Luke Skywalker? Obviously, there could be a lot more going on that we don't know about.
I wonder if the risk of being murdered will hurt attendance next year. I hope the people who published the CSI comic were all over that and collecting evidence.
