Greetings, Muggles, from overcast San Diego, for Movieline's Official Coverage of Comic-Con 2009! The trip down from L.A. was pleasantly traffic-free, and we're now quickly approaching Comic-DefCon1, as approximately 175,000 girl-cootie-infested Twilight zealots are piling into the the fortress-like Hall H, where Disney's 3-D presentation of Alice in Wonderland and Tron is followed by Summit's (*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!*) New Moon panel, and then the first North American footage of James Cameron's game-changing Avatar will save us all. Somehow -- don't ask me how or I'll have to kill you -- I've scored a seat in the front of the 6500-seat auditorium. My neighbor is Alison, mother of two (they're here, too), who's been waiting on line since 5 a.m. Wednesday, has a Twilight fansite, and describes herself as a "total freak."
Stay tuned! The fun has just only begun!
