Comic-Con International doesn't really get bigger and bigger as most people keep saying. They reached capacity, with sold-out tickets earlier and earlier, a long time ago. It's just the coverage that seems to grow.

Big stars and big projects continue to come, and this year did not disappoint (except maybe the " Harry Potter" fans). Appearances by Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, the whole new cast of the eagerly awaited "Avengers" movie, a pairing of con greats in the Joss Whedon-J.J. Abrams hour, the Seths (Green and McFarlane), triple comic-book movie threat Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges and "Tron," Bruce Willis uniting with Sylvester Stallone and the men of "The Expendables" ... Star overload. Star overload.
