Last week, we asked what you thought of a certain Boy Wizard, now that his tale has found an end. Edging out first place at the last minute are those of you who are so-so on both the books and movies. Second place were the superfans, which is pretty impressive.
Over the weekend, Comic Con happened in San Diego, and from all appearances, it seemed to have broken records by selling out nearly every day of the show. None of us here at Critical Hits could make it, but I did spend some free time pouring through the reports for news of interest. Comic Con has way outgrown just being a con for those who subscribe to comics, but an epicenter of our world of pop culture. Movies and TV related to comicy subjects get announced alongside plans by the big two of comic publishing.
So though we could not be there, there should be plenty of announcements to excite everyone. Here are a few particularly notable ones, and I’ll link to some info about each after the poll. (And if there’s any I missed that you want to see added, let me know in the comments.)
