Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope
Director Morgan Spurlock ("Super Size Me") takes an affectionate look at the highpoint of nerd culture, the annual Comic-Con in San Diego. Spurlock interviews a number of luminaries who attend the event annually (Stan Lee, Kevin Smith, Seth Green) and intersperses that footage with the stories of a handful of people going to the fest including a comic-book salesman looking to move a book worth $500,000, a young man who plans on surprising his girlfriend with a marriage proposal during a Q&A with Kevin Smith, and a woman who spent a year creating costumes based on her favourite video game.
