UPDATE: While waiting for the Paulpanel to start, two geeks got into an argument over seats. One allegedly stabbed the other with a pen, apparently in the eye. EMTs were called, and all the Comic-Con panels were delayed by at least half an hour.

The pen is still mightier than the sword, bitch!
I guess somebody wanted to make a point, lol.
Jesus.
Better you than me Nikki.
nerds are funny

Wow.Classic.
The Good news is that the Pen just got signed to a 3 picture deal.
I heard it was a Green Lanter light up pen
Wow, I woulda thought the first injury would have been due to an errant bat’leth or lightsaber…
“Eye can see your point” said the victim.
Sheesh! They could have just blown each other dicks off ..or seat on the other
I sure hope it wasn’t a Sharpie !!!
Really want to know what superhero he was dressed up as
Dork #1: “Kirk.”
Dork #2: “Picard!”
Dork #1: “Kirk!!!”
Dork #2: “Picard!!!”
Dork #1: “KIRK!!!!”
Dork #2: “PICARD!!!!”
Yup, there’s no better source of cruel (and lame) humor than an ugly injury to some kid’s eye.
Pens don’t stab people. People stab people. Now prise my Mont Blanc from my cold, stiff hand.
This is the funniest comment on Deadline ever.
I heard it was an argument over what was better, “Un Chien Andalou” or “Iron Man 2″.

Hey Nick Fury,
Can I borrow your eyepatch?
…And like that, Team Edward launches it’s first strike.
They learned it from watching THE RUNNING MAN (arnold stabs a dude in the back with a pencil). Kudos for trying to blind someone.
I mean I can’t believe that someone actually took it to the next level by potentially blinding someone over a seat. Comic-Con geek or not…and another thing I can’t believe is how people are making jokes about this! I hope that the person injured is okay and that they press charges…..
Must you call them “geeks”? “People” would have sufficed.
It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
Whatever, now the kid can turn into a super villain with an eye patch— probably his dream come true.
I was in Hall H on Saturday when this happened. I understand folks’ instinct to make light of this, but the guy who did the stabbing had splatters of blood on his shirt when he was dragged out by the cops. This was not a “cute” incident. Thankfully, it sounds like the guy with the pen missed his victim’s eye and just dug into the side of his face pretty viciously, but I haven’t heard anything official…
I thought it was a pocket protector not a holster!
Okay, some of these comments are pretty funny. What is not funny is two jerks getting into a fight in Hall H and one of them using my free promo pen as a weapon. The other guy got very lucky he didn’t lose an eye. This was an isolated incident and Comic Con fans are the best in the world.
