Comic Books Come to Life at the Comic-Con and with a little help from Barbie

Written by Style and Focus Lifestyle PR

Can't make it to the Comic-Con '08 which started yesterday and runs all the way until Sunday the 27th in San Diego, CA. Seeing as registration is closed, you can at least watch it on the G4 channel:

Thursday, July 24th Day 1 and Friday, July 25th Day 2
Both days from 7:00pm - 10:00pm EST (check local listings for time)

You can get the overview of the annual event, the latest comic books, TV shows, movies and more.

Not enough to quench your superhero obsession you can get ready for the Barbie DC Comic collection all are available at Toy "R" Us. These are collector edition dolls. Now, if only Mattel could just create the Barbie Marvel Comic collection with the Fantastic Four's Invisible Woman, Spider-man's Mary Jane Watson and Black Cat and X-Men's Storm, Jean Grey, Rogue and Jubilee. It'll make a comic book girl's dream doll collection.

First two soon to be available are Batgirl Barbie and Supergirl Barbie.
