The Iron Man suit

Marvel was a relentless machine of excitement and manic activity this year at Comic-Con, barreling through the convention, leaving a gaggle of fans pleased and fulfilled in its wake. With Iron Man and Spider-Man video game demos, the Mach I armor from 2008's Iron Man movie, panels aplenty, heavyweight signings and a booming booth packed with so many people, the aisles around it had to be shut down to accommodate the traffic, Marvel was in stellar form.

But don't just take our word for it. See what everybody else was saying about Marvel's Domination at San Diego Comic-Con 2007.

"Marvels efforts were almost a textbook example of how to make an impression at the con."
– Hollywood Reporter
