Yeah, of course.
Back at full scale is the first
time in three years we look.
We know it's all sold out,
but there's so much to do,
so much to see outside of the Convention
Center and that's our CBS aides.
Dana Marie Mcnichol is joining
us live this morning. Dana Marie.
There's so much happening all around you.
I love your costume.
Hi Catwoman,
thank you. Hi guys, it has been
so much fun all morning long.
The energy is building.
There are so many people getting ready
to get inside Comic Con but like they
said the passes are sold out but there
is actually a lot of great things to do.
Including immersing yourself in the world
of fandom so I have a Stephanie here.
She's a chief marketing officer of fandom,
which is a place where you can learn
everything about every superhero comics.
Tell us about it for those
at home that don't know.
Yes, so on fandom we have every
detail of every imagined world.
It's the world's largest fan
platform where over 300 million
people come to us every single
month to immerse themselves in the
imagined worlds that they love.
What an incredible place
to have it online and then
almost come to life here now.
What is fandom doing for Comic
Con and how can you participate?
Because we want people
to get have some fun with
this. Yes we do and we're really,
really excited to be here.
This is our fifth year here at Comic Con.
We're doing a huge party here at the
Hard Rock Hotel and we're really
excited to welcome fans back,
especially after these three long years.
And so we're having a huge event tonight
with Paramount plus with Z2 Comics,
which is graphic novels and.
Collectables and we're gonna have a very
amazing immersive experience for our fans,
and bringing them home.
And how can they get those tickets?
So there were a lot of ways to
win tickets, so we've already
given away a lot through great
sweepstakes on our social platforms,
but we will also have tickets available
here today at 1:30 at L and 5th,
right here around the right here. Yes,
you can win tickets with Impact Wrestling.
Who will be doing an
activation right here live?
And if you come by.
You might have a chance to win and come
and I would love to see you tonight
at the party and you know how else?
Would love to see you?
Are these super fans?
These content creators on the fandom page.
We are so excited that you're here with us.
Tell us what your specialty is and
what you're involved in on the page.
Well I help. From avatar wiki.
Go Earth Kingdom and I'm the
editor in chief of the Boston
State Times which is Avatar wikis,
community newsletter,
and what do you do?
Hi, I'm Jordan and I'm one of
the administrators on Wikipedia.
The Star Wars wiki where you can find
over 147,000 articles on anything
from Star Wars you can imagine. Now
this is your first Comic Con I've heard.
Yes or maybe second that,
but with fandom,
this is such a cool platform.
Tell tell people at home,
maybe some fun facts that
they could learn about
their favorite characters.
We'll start with you
quite literally.
You can find anything you can imagine,
right down to right down to
what various spices exist
in the Star Wars universe,
right down to the fact that salt exists.
If you can think of it,
we probably have an article on
it. And what about you?
You'd be surprised how much of the
Avatar franchise in series is not.
Original is based so much off
of Asian culture. For instance,
the A custard is a huge deal,
but you'll find it at a local
dim sum and what I found cool
was also fandoms can overlap like
Mark Hamill ended up voicing Ozai.
The huge villain in Avatar,
and I just feel like the culture outreach
is more surprising than you think.
It seems like the fandom
community is so special.
The fact that it's here at Comic Con you
can also immerse yourself in it online.
So thank you so much for both
of you being here this morning.
We are excited to check out this
fandom party that's happening tonight.
Again, a couple of opportunities
for you to win tickets.
Both of you.
I'm assuming we'll be there so so much
of wealth of knowledge in terms of
these content creators online with fandom.
Check out the website.
I'm definitely going to do that so I
can learn more about Catwoman because
I feel like I need to arm myself with
knowledge as I go through this weekend.
So thank you so much, guys.
This is so much fun.
I mean, the costumes,
the energy,
the excitement will have Miguel
show you a little bit around
what the amount of crowds that
are making their way to the.
That
is so many, you're right. Last time
we checked it with you, even Dana
Marie. It's grown right. Yeah, it has
grown a lot in the past 30 minutes.
Look at that look at all the people they're
flooding across the train tracks there.
They're all heading in here because
the gates are about to open.
They're like, literally an hour from
the doors, allowing people into the
Convention Center who have the badge.
But as you know, Harper Drive is
closed to cars, so there are a
ton of costumed folks out there.
Enjoy your first Comic Con Dana Marie.
I know you said this was your first
experience. Yeah, yeah it is.
I could only imagine she's like wow,
this they really do go all out.
Yes they do.
