Reflecting on his visit to Comic-Con, film critic A.O. Scott marvels at how big of a spectacle it’s become. Though cynics might label it a glitzy publicity tour disguised as fan service, “it’s also possible to marvel, so to speak, at how quickly and completely what were once subcultural pursuits have conquered the mainstream.”

—The New York Times
