The 2011 San Diego Comic-Con kicked off with its teaser preview night on Wednesday and from all signs, it looks like it’s going to be another banner year for the con. Despite a reduced number of high-profile panels on the main stage of Hall H (No Avengers panel? Seriously, Marvel?) there will be plenty of interesting sights to see over the next few days. There was no shortage of things to gawk at on Wednesday as well. I’ve included photos of just a few of those many sights.
Promotional banners were on display for the second season of AMC’s hit zombie drama, The Walking Dead.
All the Lego bricks anyone could ask for were stacked up to play and create with. Wow, I think this is what heaven looks like.
The Marvel booths had a mock-up of a S.H.I.E.L.D. office to help promote next summer’s The Avengers movie.
Co-publisher of DC Comics, Jim Lee, sketches on stage while fans look on.
Optimus Prime towered over con-goers at the Hasbro Toys booth.
Feared intergalactic bounty hunter Boba Fett wasn’t too busy tracking down criminal scum to pose for some pictures at the con.
A life-sized version of the Caped Crusader was created out of Lego to stand guard over the convention floor.
The clown mask and suit worn by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight Returns were on display in the DC booth.
Co-creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman was hard at work signing for legion of loyal fans.
