"Comic" Expo is really wrong term, "SiFi/Pop Culture" Expo is more accurate really. At the end of the day it's a flea market/costume contest/meet & greet event. For the most part there's something for everyone who's even mildly into science fiction. Even those who simply enjoy watching Star Wars marathons on Spike would likely find something they enjoy there.
But yeah, the meet & greet/autograph thing doesn't hold much appeal for me, the panels (celebs & creators discussing their shows) is entertaining/informative for sure. But it's also the type of thing you could see on TV and get the same info from.
This years cluster fata aside, it's typically an entertaining way to spend an afternoon, even for the casual fan. The one thing I wish I had gotten into the expo for this year was the back to the future Delorian photo op, the money raised is going to Micheal J Foxes' Parkinson's foundation, plus it's the freakin Delorian.
