Another San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone, and it's time to look back, examine, and discuss the convention's biggest winners and losers. Okay, so it'll likely be more of a debate than an actual discussion, but hey, that's what Comic-Cons are all about, right?

We've got Warner Brothers' Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and the burgeoning DC universe, we've got Marvel heading into the tail end of their Phase Two, which concludes with Avengers: Age of Ultron and then barrels off into Phase Three, which is nearly unknown territory. Then there are the likes of Fox, with their X-Men and Fantastic Four films, Sony with the Spider-Man franchise, and countless other science fiction, monster, horror, and genre films in between.
