Comic-Con Not About Comics Anymore: It's Gone from Geek to Chic

I have always wanted to go to the "super bowl of comics" but I guess I should have done so 10 years ago because according to this Comic-Con sounds like ass.

For example, this year's schedule includes a preview of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Psych, Vampire Diaries, American Dad, Community, How I Met Your Mother, The Blacklist and panels hosted by TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly. Though, perhaps the apex of Comic-Con pop culture invasion came in 2012 when Twilight and Glee, and their respective armies of Twihards and Gleeks, came to the event in full force.  

Yeah, I can't wait to stand in line to watch some ass-grab from NBC talk about The Blacklist or some other crappy TV show sponsored by TV Guide. I'm surprised Honey Boo-boo isn't somehow involved in this drek. What they need is a smaller comic-themed Convention that is held at a different time of year. Just invite comic-themed stuff (and sci-fi as well) to that convention so it is "yes" to Agents of SHIELD or Walking Dead but no to How I Met Your Mother or Glee.
