The 2012 San Diego Comic-Con began on a somber note. A 53 year old New York woman and rabid TWILIGHT fan, camping out in line for the film's Hall H panel, was struck and killed by a car in front of the convention center Tuesday morning. She was apparently crossing against the light, tripping and falling into the busy street that separates the convention center from San Diego's famed Gaslight District and was struck by a passing car. She was taken to Mercy Hospital but was unable to survive her injuries. Twitter quickly exploded with the news and rallied to support the deceased woman and her family, with fellow TWILIGHT fans now sporting black arm bands in memoriam. One wonders if this will not lead convention officials to reconsider allowing fans to congregate so far in advance of these popular panels, which have grown considerably in size and scope in recent years. Those of us who have been attending Comic Con for years, if not decades, remember not too long ago how easy it was to step in an out of the ballroom events without having to line up hours (or days) in advance.
