Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope

0/5 ( ratings)

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, TV producer and cult hero Joss Whedon, comic book legend Stan Lee, online film guru and Ain't It Cool News founder Harry Knowles, and producer Thomas Tull have produced a documentary spurred by the ever-growing influence Comic-Con has over comics, film, television, and pop culture as a whole. The feature-length documentary, Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope, follows seven different people from all walks of life as they descend upon the Mecca of fandom that is Comic-Con.

While the documentary focuses on those seven people, the companion book provides a broader, richer photographic take on the experience of Comic-Con: What it is, what goes on, and how it became the quintessential center of American pop culture. The book offers an insider's look at the panels, exhibitions, workshops, and celebrity encounters; awards ceremonies and parties; and the unique experience of attending one of the most important events in the entertainment industry as a whole.

Featuring photos and interviews collected specifically for the book at San Diego Comic-Con 2010, the book highlights the Comic-Con experience for celebrities such as Kevin Smith, Seth Green, Todd McFarlane, Bill Plympton, Guillermo del Toro, Ellen Page, Bryan Singer, Eli Roth, Kenneth Branagh, Seth Rogen, Matt Groening, Ron Perlman, Nathan Fillion, Olivia Wilde, Gerard Way, and Frank Miller. Packed with timeless stories about the Comic-Con experience from the very people who love Comic-Con--and attend year after year--Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope is a must-have for anyone who is interested in the unique Comic-Con experience, or in pop culture as a whole.
