Let me start out by stating the obvious, though those unfamiliar with Comic-Con may not know this: Comic-Con is an out-of-control monster. It doesn't quite know what it is, nor do the people attending it. To see everything, you'd need six or seven clones of yourself. The "comic" in Comic-Con must mean that it's comical, not that it's about comic books, because it's about much more than that these days.

Comic-Con 2007 officially began with Wednesday's "Preview Night" or, as I like to call it, "Get the Lay of the Land So You Don't Get Trampled to Death by a Grown Man in a Pikachu Costume Night."
Over the next couple of days, I'll be covering panels featuring the casts of
Lost,
Heroes,
Battlestar Galactica and a few of this coming season's most anticipated new shows -
Pushing Daisies,
Reaper and
Chuck among others. You can keep abreast of the latest scoop by following TV Squad's
Twitter feed. (You can score a free TV Squad t-shirt if you're in San Diego by finding me via our
Twitter feed.) I'll also be posting photos on
Flickr and wrapping-up each day with as many posts as I can churn out to keep you, gentle viewers, informed.
