Rating: 4 out of 5

Written by a participant/journalist, this multi-chapter article answers the question many of us outsiders ask about Comic-Con: Why?It's a slideshow in words as the author explains why media giants come, what makes superfans tick, where various pockets of pop culture congregate during the convention, and how the whole shabang is perceived by old-timers. Never too specific to one franchise but touching on many, this is a quick read from a sympathetic apologist for fandom.
