Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys…with Vampires and Zombies.
Um…what? (The actual stories seem to be dealing with real-world stuff like the Twilight *ahem* DieLite craze and zombie crawls, but still…)

I like this characterization of the San Diego/Los Angeles battle: “Are you a fan show with trade elements, or are you a trade show that lets in fans…?”
