Comic Con News Shorts: ‘Saw VI,’ ‘Avatar,’ ‘Pirates 4,’ ‘Dark Shadows’ and More

If you have ever been to Comic Con or know someone that has been to Comic Con then you already realize it is impossible to see everything, let alone try and cover it as a single individual. Therefore, you just check out what looks best and what’s most topical and you cover it the best you can. That’s what I am trying to do, but obviously I have had to miss out on things such as interviews and a few other panels. Luckily there are folks out there that have been on top of it and here are a few news bits from around the Con:
