Gather 'round, nerds. The time is upon us once again for the grand gathering that is Comic-Con International.
The annual comics and pop culture event kicks off with Wednesday's preview night, and over the next four days you can expect an onslaught of news images, videos, director and actor comments, and other ephemera flowing out of the San Diego Convention Center about nearly every entertainment property beloved by geeks the world over.
Wired will be on the ground delivering all the best from Hall H and beyond, but for those eager to get a jump on what will be some of the most buzzed-about panels at Comic-Con 2012, here are the 10 movies, TV shows and (believe it or not) YouTube series we think will be making waves in San Diego.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Peter Jackson's upcoming film The Hobbit is not only the most anticipated film at Comic-Con, it might be the most anticipated film (at least by geeks) of the year. Or maybe the decade. Jackson finished principal photography on his adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel earlier this month, and since he's a master of wowing Comic-Con crowds, we can only expect that he'll have something new and amazing to show fans at the con. (Right?!) Here's hoping for scads of 48-fps footage from the Shire.Blowback: What Do You Want to See at Comic-Con?
