Here is my petite salute to those who actively participated in Comic-Con.

Walking the halls of the San Diego Convention Center during Comic-Con has been a peak existential experience on my journey to embrace my inner geek.

Want to visualize world peace? See arch enemies Captain America and Red Skull hug with wild abandon. Then share your meal with an alien robot from Van Nuys, or catch ‘Watchmen’ director Zack Snyder talk in all seriousness with a Batman during a panel Q&A.

Farewell San Diego Comic-Con International 2008.
