G4 Presents Three Days Of Live Unrivalled Comic-Con Coverage Giving Fans Unprecedented Access Inside The Legendary Pop Culture Convention

For the First Time Ever G4 Will Present Live Episodes of Popular Hit Series "X-Play" and "Attack of the Show!" from the Comic-Con Show Floor

G4's Comic-Con Coverage Culminates with Four-Hour Live Special on Saturday, July 23 From 4-8PM ET/PT Including Interviews with Jonah Hill, Nathan Fillion, Jon Favreau, and Many More

Last year, more than 160,000 fans packed the San Diego Convention Center to experience Comic-Con, the only convention of its size dedicated to comic books, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, movies, video games, TV and more, and as anticipation mounts for a record-breaking turnout at this year's event G4 is ready to take fans inside the phenomenon with six hours of in-depth live coverage. G4 is once again the only network bringing all the news headlines, exclusive premieres, crazy costumes, panel discussions, celebrity appearances and outrageous fans LIVE from the Comic-Con show floor to TV audiences.

G4's six hours of live coverage starts with "X-Play All Access: Comic-Con" on Thursday July 21st at 7:00 PM ET/PT, "Attack of the Show! Attacks Comic-Con Live" on Friday July 22nd at 7:00 PM ET/PT culminating with "Comic Con '11 Live" on Saturday July 23rd from 4 - 8 PM ET/PT live from the convention floor. G4 will also have comprehensive coverage via http://g4tv.com/comiccon with web-exclusive video interviews, the latest movie and TV trailers in HD, photo galleries and cosplay coverage from the show and live-blogs from all the biggest panels.

Major announcements and development deals among comic book publishers, movie studios, TV networks, video game developers and more make this convention a vital mainstream pop culture attraction. Unlike years past, G4 will have three consecutive days of live Comic-Con coverage instead of just one, bringing viewers all the major announcements, exclusive premieres, celebrities, and fanatical fans coming out the convention this year.  
 
In response to the growing presence of videogames at Comic-Con over the past few years, G4 is bringing its signature videogame series "X-Play" to Comic-Con for the first time with a live one-hour episode featuring the hottest games, hands-on demos, surprise live guests and new videogame world premieres. Hosts Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb along with Blair Herter, Kristin Adams and Alex Sim-Wise will bring viewers all the latest news about Assassin's Creed: Revelations, DC Universe Online, Batman: Arkham City, Resistance 3, Saints Row: The Third & Voltron Defender of the Universe along with an exclusive clip from the Assassin's Creed Embers movie, exciting new footage from the highly anticipated Kinect Star Wars game, an interview with Stan Lee and much more.
 
On day two of G4's coverage, Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey will host a special Con themed "Attack of the Show!" where Kevin will help Candace ease into her inaugural Comic-Con as this is her first time experiencing the pop culture phenomenon. Viewers will get to see their favorite "Attack of the Show!" segments such as "Around the Net," GadgetPron, and "Attack This," Bustice will do The Feed live from the convention floor and Aisha Tyler (Archer) will stop by to speak with Kevin and Candace.
 
Six hours of live coverage culminates with hosts Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey joined by comic book maven Blair Butler, correspondents Alison Haislip, Sara Underwood, Blair Herter and Chris Gore to deliver some of the most exciting news from the convention. G4's televised coverage of this year's convention will include breaking news announcements, world premiere trailers, outrageous fans and costumes, in-depth reviews, as well as live interviews with directors, producers and stars from top films and TV shows. The team will interview Jonah Hill (Allen Gregory), Rose McGowan (Conan the Barbarian), Nathan Fillion (Castle), Matt Smith and Karen Gillian (Doctor Who) as well as the Cast of True Blood, Once Upon A Time, Grimm, Person of Interest and Terra Nova and many more.
