The 2009 San Diego Comic-Con is less than a month away, with preview night kicking things off on Wednesday, July 22. If you are a publisher, creator, retailer or any other kind of exhibitor who would like to let folks know about any special plans you have for the show (panels, signing schedules, exclusives, debuts, etc.) drop me an email and I'll run it here.

Movies | A documentary called Dig Comics will make its debut at the con as part of their international film fest. It'll be shown on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in room 26AB.

Associate producer Corey Blake dropped us a note about the film, which will be expanded into a longer version:

"Based on its strength, Edward James Olmos’ company Olmos Productions has agreed to produce a long-form full-length Dig Comics. Olmos believes that as a medium, comic books not only increase literacy but also serves as an inspirational learning tool for both students and teachers. Dig Comics would be an instrumental project in getting the word out."

An Adama endorsement is pretty high praise indeed. Check out the trailer on YouTube.
