Today was a very special day at Comic Con. It was Supernatural Day! I again had the honor of attending the Supernatural panel in Hall H and the press room afterward. Everyone was in great spirits and eager to talk about the new season. My second interview of the day was with Jensen Ackles….
It’s impossible to transcribe a Ben Edlund interview. Just watching him alone is pure entertainment.

I suggest if you are at work, just set a reminder on your smart phone to watch the below video later.
Out of all the interviews I did at Comic Con 2011, this one was my favorite. We were fortunate enough to get almost 15 minutes with consulting producer Ben Edlund. I’ve always wanted an extended opportunity to pick the brain of this wildly creative genius and man did he not disappoint. We even got…
The “Supernatural” panel. That yearly monumental event at San Diego Comic Con in which the past season is remembered, and after a long hiatus it’s usually the first hint of what’s coming in this new season.
