6 Films That Comic-Con 2010 Could Make or Break

Some movies are going into this year’s Comic-Con as returning heroes (like Tron Legacy , which has been shown off to great effect for two years running) or sure things (like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , which could have been conceived in a Comic-Con test tube), but there are several big films that have a lot to prove at the Con — and a lot to lose.
