Comic-Con Day 2 Preview
Friday is nominally “Star Wars” day, but most of the really cool stuff seems to be happening at the Adult Swim panels today.
10:30 a.m.-noon Art of Adapting Comics to the Screen. Our pal Jeff Goldsmith of Creative Screenwriting magazine talks about the process with people who’ve been there, including Stan Lee, comics scribe Brian K. Vaughn, Marvel producer Kevin Feige, “X2” writer Zak Penn and “A History of Violence” adapter Josh Olson. Room 6CDEF
11 a.m.-1 p.m. Warner Bros. Presents. The big studio presentations kick off with WB offering fans a sneak peek at “V for Vendetta,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride” and “The Fountain.” Hall H.
11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Tribute to Bill Liebowitz. As founder of Golden Apple Comics, most Hollywood comics fans have at one time or another bought something from Liebowitz, who set a high standard for comics retailing. Room 22
Noon-1 p.m. Stan Lee. The Man is back to talk about his upcoming project for POW! And IDT Entertainment. Room 6B
Noon-1 p.m. “House of the Dead 2.” A preview of the upcoming Lions Gate pic based on the hit videogame. Room 6CDEF
1-2 p.m. Pilot Screening: “Supernatural!” See the pilot episode to the upcoming WB TV series, set to air Tuesdays this fall. Room 6B
1:30-3 p.m. “Masters of Horror.” This 13-episode series examining the genre’s best directors is coming soon to Showtime and DVD. Room 20
2-3 p.m. “Veronica Mars.” Producers and cast members of the UPN series answer questions about the show and preview the upcoming second season. Room 6B
2-3:30 p.m. Annual Jack Kirby Tribute Panel. Not really Hollywood related, but always worth attending whether you’re familiar with Kirby’s work or not. Room 8
2-2:45 p.m. Sony: “Zathura” and “The Legend of Zorro.” Preview of the studio’s upcoming pics. Hall H.
2:30-4 p.m. Spotlight on Ray Harryhausen (and all things King Kong). The master of stop-motion animation is back.. Room 6CDEF
3-4 p.m. SCI-FI: “Battlestar Galactica.” The hot Sci Fi Channel show’s second season starts the same day as this panel, which features producers and castmembers from the show. Room 20
3-4:30 p.m. Disney Coming Attractions: “Chicken Little,” “Sky High,” and Pixar’s “Toy Story” 10th Anniversary, “Cars” and “Pirates of the Caribbean 2.” Animation historian Jerry Beck leads a preview of what’s up at the Mouse House and Pixar. Hall H
4-5:30 p.m. Warner Bros. Animation: “The Batman” and “Justice League Unlimited” Superhero Action Panel. It’s pretty cool to watch Bruce Timm take the stage at Comic-Con because there’s probably nowhere else in the world where he’d get such a warm reception. This panel takes a look at the toon versions of sister company DC Comics’ superheroes, including a new episode of JLU and a first look at the upcoming feature-length “The Batman vs. Dracula.” Room 6CDEF
4:30-5:30 p.m. “The Boondocks.” Aaron McGruder’s comicstrip finally gets animated, courtesy of Adult Swim. McGruder and cast members will be on hand for a Q&A. Room 6B
4:45-6:15 p.m. Lucasfilm Presents: “Star Wars” Spectacular. With luck, this will be less commercial than last year’s Lucasfilm presentation. There should be plenty of info on the “Episode III” DVD and upcoming vidgames — anything else will be a surprise. Hall H
5:30-7 p.m. The Jim Henson Co. 50th Anniversary: Retrospective and Sneak Peek at “MirrorMask”: Archival footage from the early days of the company will be a rare treat, and the sneak peek at “MirrorMask,” from Comic-Con favorites Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean will be cool, too. Room 6B
5:30-7 p.m. Cartoon Network: Adult Swim. Friday almost seems more like Adult Swim day than Star Wars day. This is the “official” AS panel, with looks at returning faves and new shows coming soon. Room 6CDEF
8:30-10 p.m. An Evening with J.J. Sedelmaier. A retrospective of Sedelmaier’s work, which includes such classics as “The Ambiguously Gay Duo” from “Saturday Night Live” and “Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.” Toon expert Jerry Beck will host a Q&A with Sedelmaier. Room 6A
8:30-11 p.m. Will Eisner Comics Industry Awards. This is the Oscars of the comics biz. The winners in 26 categories will be announced, as well as the winners of a number of other comicbook awards including the Bill Finger Excellence in Comics Writing Award. Jackie Estrada is the emcee for the gala event, which will feature celebrity presenters and lots of slides. Did I mention I was a judge? As if you needed the extra incentive … Room 20
10-11 p.m. Jerry Beck’s Worst Cartoons Ever. Exactly what it sounds like: Beck culls the worst of the worst from TV toons of the 1950s and ’60s. Room 6A
11 p.m.-1 a.m. Screening: “Promedio Rojo.” A hilarious geekfest flick from Chile that’s so good, even Variety.com’s own Alex Romanelli raved over it. He said it better than I could have, so re-read his post and check this out. Room 6B
