Comic Con today is perhaps best known for long lines. And those elusive exclusives.

Are there even still comics at comic con???
well, yes....

But most attendees today are here for other sights from around the Convention grounds..

Quite possibly my favorite new amenity... this oasis of rarely unoccupied comfy chairs in the main lobby! (photo below during  Exhibitor hours, prior to convention open)
