Wizard World LA Conclusion

So it's been almost a month since my last blog about WWLA.  I was going to blog more of my day but I left the convention center disappointed of my experience.  Although the highlight was meeting Alyssa Milano and Summer Glau, the overall experience was somewhat blah.  So before calling it a day, the last panel I wanted to check out was Heroes.  Milo and some of the writers were going to be present to discuss the 2nd season and the what to expect in season 3.  My experience from Comic Con has thought me to get there ahead of time and try to sit in on the panel before the one you want to see, to guarantee yourself a seat.  They do not clear out the rooms and you are allowed to sit there all day, if you want.  So i decided to sit on the DC panel, which was cool but the only thing I was interested is Batman.  Apparently the next major Batman storyline is Batman R.I.P.  WTF? Not much was discussed but they did shoot down the rumor that Bruce Wayne becoming a New God, as speculated in some comic forums.  Please don't tell me that this is DC's answer to Cap's death.  SIGH.  Anyways, once that panel was completed, it would be a few minutes before the Heroes one started. 

The lights were dimmed and they began to play a clip.  To my surprise it was Battlestar Galactica, which I though was weird but sat through it anyways.  I thought it might just be a promotional clip played in between panels.  But it was no ordinary clip, it was about the appreciation of BSG.  They had various actors that enjoy the show and commented about it.  I believe this was played on TV or might have been an extra on the dvd sets.  Anyways, for some reason, I decided to continue to watch and it was over in 20 minutes.  A little preplexed of the whole situation, I left the room.  I checked the sheet that was listed at the door of the schedule and the Heroes panel was moved to another room and at another time.  While I was in the DC panel, the Heroes panel had taking place in another room.  Disappointed, I called it a day.

So that was pretty much my experience.  I did picked some trades, Ultimates 1, Ultimate X-Men and the Walking Dead.   Also got a nice WWLA variant exclusive of Return to Wonderland.  It was pretty strange that the largest comic company present was Top Cow and Aspen.  Marvel had a booth for it's writers and artists to sign autographs but nothing to check out.  DC didn't even bother to show up.  1/3 of the convention floor was bare and to fill it in, the organizers decided to have cars w/ comic logos being displayed.  Unless there is someone I want to meet next year, this might be my final WWLA.  So until next time...
