Blair Butler takes us around Comic-Con one last time for today to roundup all of the news and events that went on in San Diego.

Kevin Pereira gets some face time with Zach Snyder, director of  300 and the hotly-anticipated film version of  The Watchmen, to talk a little bit about the movie and see what might be coming in the near future.

Chris Gore visits the set prop everyone is dying to see up close, the Owl Ship from the highly anticipated Watchmen feature film.

Blair Butler visits indie-comic publisher Top Cow Productions to find out what goes into making a comic-book, from concept to publication.

A look at the year 1963, in relation to the birth of a comic dynasty, Marvel Comics, natch! We get in depth with the creation of a comic powerhouse and trace the origin story of some of the world's greatest heroes.

One of the biggest labels in the comic book universe, Image Comics, home to The Walking Dead and Spawn, rolls out their Comic-Con bells and whistles, and we are there.

G4's "Superfan" Flitz has cornered comic-writer Ed Brubaker on the floor at Comic-Con to talk about Batman, Captain America, and The Authority.

We get a sneak preview of The Watchmen, via a super secret visit to the set of the long-awaited film, and see just how close the movie gets to the original source material, and how these characters look in real life.

Blair Butler gets some one-on-one time with Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, to talk about the Wolverine movie. We'd also like him to talk about Viva Laughlin! but there might not be enough time to get around to that.

There are tons of rumors swirling around Spike Jonze's adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are. Talks of Jonze having issues with the studio have been mostly crushed by producer Gary Goetzman in an interview with Ain't it Cool's Mr. Beaks.

Apparently, the rumors that Max was poorly acted by complete unknown Max Records, that Jonze is slated to be let go, and that the entire film which was supposed to be released in October of 2008 is being completely reshot are all false.

No doubt there is trouble in the Warner Bros. arena regarding Where the Wild Things Are, it's just unclear what the delays are all about. Hopefully these delays will result in a better adaptation of this classic, cherished children's book.

How'd you like to cruise in Night Owl II's Owl Ship across the expansive and world-famous New York City with ten of your closest friends? Well, too bad. What do you think this is; some kind of Watchmen Amusement Park? WRONG?

Uh, but, anyway here's a link to pics of the Owl Ship at Comic Con. You're there, right?
