Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rich Johnston As well as a place that celebrates stories, San Diego Comic Con is also a place where stories grow. Comics, movies, and TV shows are pitched from person to person, condensed in such a comparatively small area (though tell that to your feet on Sunday) Once, in the line at[...]
