DALLAS and SAN DIEGO -- 7-Eleven will bring fans news from this weekend's Comic-Con International through on-site roving reporter Art Baltazar, who will provide an insider's view of the largest comic book and pop culture convention in the U.S., the company announced. Baltazar, an award-winning comic artist and writer, will provide convention updates and exclusive content and previews for the upcoming "Cowboys & Aliens" movie from July 20-24.
