San Diego Trending: The Top 25 Posts Of Comic Con Week

Published Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:00:58 -0500

That's another San Diego Comic Con in the books. It's cliche at this point to note that many (but certainly, not all) comic publishers are staying out of the way of the Hollywood announcements by keeping a relatively low-profile with actual comic announcements, but that seems to matter less to fans now that there's such a high volume of comic book movies.

That aside (and the ever-popular cosplay posts aside), it's interesting to note that Batman-Superman tops the list this year, and that the Bishop reveal for X-Men: Days Of Future Past was way up there too. Surprise/new-info film announcements definitely separated themselves from stuff that we largely knew was coming this time around.

Justin Jordan was the subject of the top pure-comic post of the week, coming in at #9 on the list.

I did some tag-level tracking this year too, to get a better handle on the big picture for the week, and we'll take a look at that later. For now, here's the top-25 most-read stories of San Diego Comic Con 2013:
