Friday The 13th Panel, NY Comic Con
Written by Alice Jester
After the crowd was pleasantly warmed up by the Watchmen presentation, up came Andrew Form and Brad Fuller in support of their new film, Friday The 13th, coming out this Friday the 13th. First a trailer was shown, one that’s been circulating for a while now. Then one of them (sorry, but neither were clearly identified, so I'll be combining their names from this point forward) introduced stars Derek Mears (Jason) and Jared Padalecki (Clay Miller).
Jared’s entrance got a HUGE reaction from the female fans in the theatre, as expected by those of us Supernatural fans that were really psyched to see him there. Considering that the fans that I talked to in line had Jensen Ackles pictures on their phones and were proclaimed Dean fans, I was pleased to see the love for Jared. Jared looked fantastic by the way, and had a great smile on his face.

Watchmen Panel, Saturday NY Comic Con
Written by Alice Jester
Day two at the New York Comic Con proved to be an adventure. The crowds were significantly larger from Friday and getting from event to event proved to be challenging. Too challenging. After getting here early and getting a good spot in line early for the Warner Brothers panel and screening, that turned out to be the only event I could get into. Luckily, it was a damned good one and well worth the 1 hr and 45 minute wait in line.
We took our seats and got some pretty damned good ones, a birdseye view of the three film presentations Warner Brothers had planned that day. After watching a slew of videos courtesy of ign.com (which makes sense considering it’s the Ign Theatre), the panel for Watchmen came up first.
Dave Gibbons, creator and artist of the comic book limited series Watchmen, was introduced. The crowd was very enthusiastic over his presence, as the film controversy has created some animosity among the hard core fans with the studios and they were pleased to see a genuine creator there plugging the series. Dave Gibbons was very happy to be there, and offered high praise about the film and its director Zack Synder and less enthusiastically about his bitter relationship with DC Comics.
