Friday at Comic Con, Let the Circus Begin

As the Saturday gets closer, the craziness that is comic con gets a bit more concentrated. With programming spread out between the convention center and nearby hotels, you would think that it wouldn't feel so crowded, but that's just not the case. At this point, if you're at comic con, you have to make some tough decisions. The programming is all really good, all at the same time.

Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion open up Hall H with the Con Man Panel, where they received a very warm reception. Nathan ever the charmer, repeatedly told the crowd how he ran a tight ship, which is no surprise that he had to with jokester Alan Tudyk on hand.

Over in Ballroom 20, there was plenty of nostalgia in the air. Bones cast Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, TJ Thyne, Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor, and John Boyd, along with EPs Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson gathered to talk about their final season. They opened with a montage of their biggest moments from the previous 11 seasons, before getting down to business. There was a whopping 20 minutes shown, which wasn't nearly enough, and a promise of closure.

The Walking Dead panel offered no such promises of closure. Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Chandler Riggs, Sonequa Martin-Green, Michael Cudlitz, Josh McDermitt, Ross Marquand, Christian Serratos, and Jeffery Dean Morgan, with EPs Scott M. Gimple, Robert Kirkman, Gale Ann Hurd, Dave Alpert and Greg Nicotero took the stage with Chris Hardwick serving as moderator. No, we didn't learn who Lucille took down, but we did get a look at the new season, which isn't coming back until October. We got a glimpse of the Kingdom with King Ezekiel and Shiva, lots of walkers, and a promise of a major showdown after the heartbreaking season opening and its fallout.

While we did attend many signings on Friday, the Walking Dead on wasn't one of them. The Convention floor is always a mad house, but its nothing compared to what its like when the Walking Dead cast takes the floor. With AMC's booth so close, Fox decided to close their booth, and just watch things. The signings we did make it to:
