Preview night at the San Diego Comic Con 2010 is here!

Arrived at San Diego Airport, got our bags, checked in to the hotel, so far so good.

And now, to get our event pass… The lines for getting the badges went by quite fast, less than 20 minutes in line compared to last year’s 2 hrs. Kudos to the Comic Con people for making this smoother than last year.

Everyone gets WB bags this year. Sweet!

Looks like Red Faction. What do you think?

On to the main convention floor!

The humanity!

Some Square Enix Kai action figures — Assassin’s Creed, Bleach, Halo Reach, and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.
