Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly cast as Quaid, a 2084 construction worker haunted by dreams of Mars in this crowd-pleasing science fiction spectacle. Against the wishes of his sexy blonde wife (Sharon Stone), Quaid goes to Rekall, a company that implants artificial memories, so he can "remember" visiting the red planet that is now being settled by human inhabitants. However, Quaid is actually an amnesiac secret agent from Mars--or is he? Enemy agents led by a thug named Richter (Michael Ironside) start trying to kill him before Quaid remembers anything more. Bullets and bone-crunching mayhem follow in large doses as Quaid heads to Mars to deal with mutants, ancient alien races, and Cohagen (Ronny Cox), a greedy capitalist controlling the colonists' air supply, in an effort to remember his real identity. TOTAL RECALL is based on the story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick and was a big box-office hit, helping to firmly establish director Paul Verhoeven as a specialist in darkly satiric, blood-drenched genre films. His next stop: BASIC INSTINCT, also with Stone.

Writer Joss Whedon gained the creative freedom necessary to achieve his vision with this television program; one which was denied him in production of the feature film of the same name. It consequently became one of the most popular and critically-acclaimed programs of its time. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays a young girl in Sunnydale, CA who discovers that she is "The Chosen One," fated to fight the scourge of vampires constantly threatening the mortals of Earth. Combining humor, soap-operatic relations between its characters, and dramatic plotlines, the show was daring, hilarious, and monumental in scope. All 22 episodes of the seventh season are collected here, culminating in the exciting, controversial series finale!
Also look out for several other special guests at this year's Comic-Con including Sergio Aragonés (Cartoonist - Mad, Groo, Sergio Aragonés Funnies), Ben Edlund (Writer/artist/producer/director - The Tick,Angel, Firefly, Supernatural etc.), Rob Guillory (Artist/Co-Creator of Chew), Robert Kirkman (Writer/Co-Creator, The Walking Dead, Invincible), Jim Lee (Artist - Justice League, Batman: Hush; DC Comics co-publisher) and many more!
