**Comic-Con 2015: A Day at the Convention**
As we walked through the halls of Comic-Con, we couldn't help but notice the excitement and energy emanating from attendees and exhibitors alike. We started our journey at booth 100, where a prop store booth caught our eye. This was a favorite haunt for many, including Adam Olson, who also loves to visit. The booth was filled with Star Trek original costumes, models, and props, which were super cool and well worth checking out.
Looking over to the right, we saw TV booths that offered signing opportunities. These looked like broadcast setups, where actors would sit in chairs for huge autograph sessions. On the other hand, some booths offered attendee experiences, such as an interactive diorama of The Walking Dead. This was a unique opportunity for fans to wait in line and take photos with actors dressed up as zombies.
We made our way over to ABC's Stage 2 booth, where they were promoting various TV shows, including Agents of Shield and the upcoming Muppets show. We also saw an interactive diorama that allowed attendees to interact with those zombies behind revolving doors. This was a fun experience for fans who had missed the latest season of The Walking Dead.
As we approached the Warner Brothers booth, we saw a huge signing session taking place. Unfortunately, we didn't know who the actors and actresses were, but it was clear they were popular. We decided to move on from there, as the crowds might not have been the best thing to jump into on Saturday at Comic-Con.
Moving forward, we squeezed our way through a crowd of people making their way to Artist Alley. This section of the convention was really awesome, with long tables where artists would set up shop and offer sketches, commissions, and other services. We saw some fantastic artwork, including a Joker from 1989 Batman comic book, which was truly impressive.
Before entering Artist Alley, we stopped by some collectible companies, including Vinyl Toy companies like Kid Robot and Super 7. These companies were known for their geek chic designs, including designer vinyl toys that looked like swords and other fantasy items. We saw a wooden hero sword and an elven sword, both of which were on sale.
We also visited The Anime Depot, which was not really our thing, but it was still worth checking out. Nearby, we found San Francisco-based company Super 7, which made cool t-shirts and remade vintage Kenner toys, including old alien figures that were never made.
As we continued through the convention center, we came across a booth with a serious-looking Wolverine prop. This seemed to be a popular item among fans, who would likely go crazy for it. We also saw some Funko POP! figures on sale at booth 5200, which was not really our thing, but looked pretty cool.
Finally, as we made our way back towards the entrance, we took in the sights and sounds of the convention one last time. We could see that Artist Alley had brought a lot of excitement to the event, with long lines forming outside the booths. As we turned the corner at the end of the hall, we saw the familiar sight of the booth where we started our day, now just a distant memory.
**Artist Alley and Collectibles**
As we walked through the halls of Comic-Con, Artist Alley was one of the first things that caught our eye. This section of the convention center was dedicated to showcasing the work of independent artists and comic book creators. Long tables were set up with sketchbooks, pencils, and other art supplies, where fans could commission artwork or get it sketched on the spot.
We saw some fantastic artwork in Artist Alley, including a Joker from 1989 Batman comic book that was truly impressive. Other artists had their own unique styles, which ranged from traditional drawing to digital art. Some even offered commissioned pieces, where fans could request specific characters or scenarios be drawn for them.
One of the most popular items in Artist Alley was sketching commissions. Fans would sit down with an artist and get a quick sketch done based on their favorite character or scene. We saw some amazing artwork being created right before our eyes, which was both exciting and inspiring.

Another company we visited was Super 7, which made cool t-shirts and remade vintage Kenner toys. They had some fantastic items on display, including old alien figures that were never made before. This was a great find for fans of retro toys, who would love to get their hands on these classic designs.
We also saw some Funko POP! figures on sale at booth 5200, which was not really our thing, but looked pretty cool nonetheless. These small figurines are designed to be cute and collectible, and were certainly a hit with fans of the convention.

One of the most popular attractions in Comic-Con was The Walking Dead. This zombie apocalypse series had become a cultural phenomenon, and fans were eager to experience it for themselves.
