2011's Comic-Con International in San Diego is now a memory, but the sights and sounds of the show continue to burn bright in the minds of those who attended the annual SoCal pop culture event. That said, it's never too early to look back on the frenzy and mayhem that took place at and about San Diego's world famous convention center, and Comic Book Resources is happy to help you relive, or, if you weren't able to make it this year, experience vicariously the happy insanity!
We've already shared our Preview Night photos with you, and now it's time for Day One (Thursday) of the show -- and what a day it was! From the cast of "Napoleon Dynamite" to Captain America himself, Chris Evans, to comic book royalty and, of course, the ever-popular parade of cosplayers, CBR News continues to bring the experience of Comic-Con International to your computer!
As always, CBR's Executive Producer Jonah Weiland -- AKA The BFD AKA You're So Not -- provides commentary and some good-natured snark to the photos taken by CBR Staff Photographer Pinguino Kolb and Caitlin Holland. And as always, check back later this week for even more CCI photos!
