Cosplayers at Comic-Con
Cosplay is the heart and soul of Comic-Con, and the first day did not disappoint. People spend months, sometimes years, creating their costumes, and it was amazing to see so many themed-out groups. The cosplayers were definitely a highlight of the day.
Wired robot at Comic-Con
The Wired robot was unveiled on the first day, and it was a sight to behold. The 9-foot-9-inch giant mech was introduced by Adam Savage and drew a crowd. However, due to safety concerns, the robot had to leave the show floor. If you’re lucky enough to see it around San Diego, be sure to tweet about it using the hashtag #WiredMec.
Exclusive footage from Zero Theorem
The first look at footage from Terry Gilliam’s new movie, Zero Theorem, was shown on the first day. The movie stars Christoph Waltz as a crazy reclusive computer guy, and it looks like it’s going to be as surreal as every other Terry Gilliam movie.
Interviews with Bill Paxton, Kit Harington, and Slash
Peter Rubin had the opportunity to interview Bill Paxton about his new graphic novel, which was a highlight of the day. He also got to interview Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, and Slash, who bonded with Rubin over their shared love of dinosaurs.
Conclusion
The first day of Comic-Con 2013 was a huge success, with cosplayers, the Wired robot, exclusive footage from Zero Theorem, and interviews with some amazing people. We can’t wait to see what the next three days have in store. Stay tuned for more updates from Wired Caf at Comic-Con!
