 | | Just as The Incredible Hulk's transformation into "Hulk" continued to blur the lines between comic books and movies, the focus of Comic-Con International further broadens this year from comic books, anime and related collectibles into science fiction, fantasy, gaming and independent films. |
 | | In addition to the vast convention hall floor of booths offering comics, graphic novels, anime, TV merchandise, collectible action figures, art, toys, costumes, and more, this year's Comic-Con will offer panel discussions, autograph signings, industry seminars, previews of upcoming movies, an independent festival and the awards ceremony for the annual Star Wars Fan Film Awards. |
 | | With the Hollywood movie industry becoming increasingly reliant on comic book characters and story lines – think of last year's "Spiderman," this year's "Daredevil," "X-2: X-Men United" and "Hulk" – Comic-Con also has become a place to make a big splash for genre films. |
