Convention Comic-Con in San Diego

---More than 125,000 people — many dressed as their favorite comic superheroes, “Star Wars” or “Star Trek” characters and even “Ghostbusters” — are expected to swarm the Comic-Con convention that runs through July 26.

Rod Roddenberry, son of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry, will debut a new graphic novel, “Days Missing,” about a mysterious steward who can change historical events.

Summit Entertainment, will debut footage for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” on Thursday, saw excitement from last year's “Twilight” panel generate early buzz that helped propel that movie to a US$382 million global box office haul.

Several Hollywood movie studios will screen new films and host elaborate question-and-answer panels with actors and directors of major upcoming releases including Paramount Pictures' “Iron Man 2,” Walt Disney Pictures' “Alice in Wonderland” and 20th Century Fox's “Avatar.”
