Firstly, we got into the Watchman panel and watched exclusive footage! The whole cast was there, with Zack Snyder and Dave Gibbons. It was reassuring to hear the actors really did their research for the roles. The technology has finally caught up with the vision and while Zack admits to adding/omitting material, he didn't shy away from the darker themes. I think the movie will be beautiful and am really looking forward to seeing it brought to life.
Some people slept in line for the Watchmen panel (thank goodness not us!)

Secondly, got some great stuff at Artist's Alley (scans to be posted later). The crowds were insane at the big name booths, but small press and artists were pretty roomy, which suited us just fine. There's nothing like talking to someone whose work you admire, getting that connection with them, and taking home some of that talent personalized for you.
Third, the panel for The Goon was utterly hilarious. Eric Powell and two guys from Reno 911 put on an awesome skit complete with 30-story Godzilla cock and holy water exorcism. He's a really funny guy and the panel was a riot.
Eric and some Reno 911 buddies:
Last but definitely not least...the big screen debut of Dr. Horrible in glorious HD! The whole cast showed up, though they didn't run a panel because it was 10:45 PM and no staff was there to moderate. We had watched the Acts online, but seeing it on a big screen with two hundred fans and the cast was definitely an experience to relish.

Day 3 was pretty damn cool too. More on that later. All I can say is: this Con fucking rocks!
