WonderCon 2009: Boldly Going...

Behind the walls of Moscone Center South in San Francisco the weekend of February 28 through March 1, all those bad thoughts about the economy disappeared. Instead, people flowed into the building to experience WonderCon 2009, leaving behind their cares and woes to be a part of one of the best comics and popular arts conventions in the country.

Once again, WonderCon experienced substantial growth with 34,000 attendees at this year's event, up over last year's 29,000. Those in attendance had an amazing time, with a larger-than-ever Exhibit Hall, additional programming rooms, and some of comics' most talented writers and artists on hand. With many publishers and companies taking part, WonderCon's programming slate was packed with comics-oriented presentations, spotlight panels, and special events.

Hollywood came to San Francisco for WonderCon, with presentations featuring cast members from Watchmen, Terminator Salvation, Alien Trespass, 9, and an exclusive look at the new Star Trek movie, with the only convention appearance of director J. J. Abrams and stars Chris Pine (Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), and Zoe Saldana (Uhura). On Sunday, cast members from Chuck, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and the new series Harpers Island all joined in on the fun. The best way to experience WonderCon, of course, is to be there, but if you weren't able to make it this year, there are always pictures. Click here to see photos from WonderCon 2009!
