San Diego Comic Con 2016 has just ended. I’m back home in my own bed, my feet hurt, I have con crud from the millions of germs that were floating around the convention floor but I am happy.
This year I met Steven Moffat, was Neil Gaiman adjacent at a party, got into the Syfy / The Magicians party, went to the Star Trek Beyond World Premiere where I received super-cool swag, dropped money on some amazing art, danced at Nerd HQ and drank a bit too much. So much that I forgot to tweet my favorite “Overheard at Comic Con quotes” but thanks to diligent con-goers, I was able to compile a list.
As evidenced in these tweets, Pokemon Go was the clear winner of this years SDCC. Everyone was obsessed! It didn’t matter if you were at a party, panel, on the con floor or even in the bathroom – the game ruled all.
Enjoy these wonderful, giggle-inducing quotes and if you are not sated, than check out the previous lists here: The Best of “Overheard at San Diego Comic Con” 2014 and The Best of “Overheard at San Diego Comic Con” 2015.
(Note: Props to @tv_Victoria for posting so many awesome Overheard at Comic Con quotes!)
