A Look at Comic-Con 2011

Sunday is the last day of the annual San Diego Comic-Con, and we have a video here comprising some select sequences sans commentary (which I actually appreciate) of the event, in and out of the halls.

San Diego Comic Con 2011 Sneak Peaks from ComicConMen

Came across these series of "sneak peek videos" from San Diego Comic Con (www) featuring Jimmy Jay of ‪www.ComicConMen.com‬ doing a walk-thru of San Diego Comic Con 2011 during the day of set-up, drills'a'buzzin and hammers'a'banging.

Unofficial Video For Avengers Sequence After End Credits of Captain America

Apparently this sequence came at the end of the credits for the Captain America movie (so I read somewhere which I've forgotten where, sorry) where folks like Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Bruce Banner saunders around in the S.H,I.E.L.D. complex (which I dare assume to be a semblance of the Ultimates' Triskelon) … and yes, it is a sequence trailing the upcoming THE AVENGERS movie

Official Teaser Trailer for The Dark Knight Rises

Hearing Jim Gordon speak on his hospital bed, it brought tears to the brim of my eyes, I admit.
