Kurt Sutter doesn’t do well with big crowds. So the idea of Comic-Con, despite his wife Katey Sagal’s vast experience at the event (for Futurama), was daunting. “The thought of going down there is a little overwhelming for me because I just know how huge it’s become, but last year was really my first year down there and it was pretty amazing, pretty overwhelming. The only thing I’ve been to which was somewhat similar — I’m a big gaming guy, so I’ve gone to E3 a couple of times — and it is obviously a fraction of what Comic-Con is,” he says. “The turnout for the panel and all the fans, it was just interesting to see the in-person personification of that kind of fan feedback. You obviously get it on Twitter, and obviously people are huge fans of the show, but to see all of that energy in one room is pretty awesome.”
