Comic Con Wherever You Are

Yeah, I know SDCC, right? San Diego Comic Con. The modern Mecca of Pop Culture. You're not a true geek unless you're right there. Well, let me tell you, a lot of us geeks are broke or have responsibilities, or are just turned off by throngs of people in a space that was probably out grown three years ago.

So I'm enjoying Comic Con from the comfort of my own home. That's right, several very reputable and kick-ass agencies are doing everything they can to bring the sweet, geeky goodness to the whole world.

Here are the people and companies I'm following on Twitter who are on the floor at SDCC, follow them and open yourself up to a world of links of pictures, video, blogs, live streaming blogs of the Comic Con Convention floor, booths, and panels, which typically include cutting edge movie trailers, sneak peeks and previews:
