Comic Con Day 3

Sorry I didn't post anything last night. There was a quick update, but not a full review. so here it goes:
Saturday:
I went as Superboy, and I went with Scarlet Spider, Sheik, and Superman. We met up with my friend, "The Silver Puma", and waited in line for Bruce Boxleitner. He was great, he talked about being in the original Tron and what it was like when he came back for Tron: Legacy. Then he talked about the upcoming show for Disney XD, Tron: Uprising, because he's doing some voice overs for the show. He also talked about Babylon 5 and the great cast they had there. He mourned the death over his Babylon 5 co-star, Jeff Conway who died only the day before on May 27. After Boxleitner, we went over to a panel with Robert Duncan McNeill. He is the Director and Producer of Chuck and Played Tom Paris on Star Trek: Voyager. He was a great guy. He was funny and smart and really nice (and he can juggle). He told us about how he started out on Voyager and how he started directing. A lot of people wanted to know what's going on with Chuck for the next season, but he told us that he doesn't  know, but the writers will get together in a couple weeks and figure everything out. After that, we went back into the ballroom where we were for Boxleitner and watched Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy announced previously that his appearance at Phoenix Comic Con might be his last before he retires.It was really cool. He told his life story and showed us some pictures, he told us about the birth of the Vulcan neck-pinch and "Live long and Prosper" hand. If it was his last appearance, then he made it with dignity. He lived up to and exceeded all my expectations of him. Following Nimoy, was Stan, the man himself, Lee accompanied by Jaime Paglia. Stan and Jaime met last year at Phoenix Comic Con and are great friends. Stan says Jaime is a fantastic guy and is amazingly smart. Stan was asked about his favorite cameo appearance he made, if he knew anything about the villain for The Avengers movie, Stan Lee's favorite DC hero, and Mavel's relationship with DC. Stan's favorite cameo was in one of the Spider-man movies but is now his appearance in Thor, he knows nothing about the Avengers villain but if he did know he would probably tell us since he can't keep a secret, he liked the character Lobo but doesn't know much about him, and told us about how all the DC and Marvel guys used to be friends and how he'd love another Marvel and DC team up. He was a little hard of hearing, so Jaime had to retell him some of the questions. After Stan's panel, there was a Eureka panel with Jamie Paglia again and Wil Wheaton. We saw Wil Wheaton last year and he was spectacular. He's funny and nice. He's appeared on Eureka (of course) as Dr. Issac Parrish, The Big Bang Theory as The Evil Wil Wheaton, Leverage as Chaos, and Star Trek: The Next Generation as Wesley Crusher. They talked about how exciting the new season of Eureka is and they debut a brand new sneak peak for the new season.
Afterwards we looked around for a bit more and then left.
