Reports are trickling out of the Hall H that an attendee has been stabbed in the face with a pen after a squabble over seating just before the Marvel Studios panel. Other attendees jumped in to stop the fight before things escalated even further. The victim was taken to the hospital and his condition is unknown. The attacker is now in the custody of the San Diego Police Department. The panel has been delayed until further notice.
