![]() ![]() After hearing what we’d be doing, the first question the security firm that Anthony works for asked was: “Do you want your guard armed?” (Um, no guns, please.) A friend and Transformers fan with some appreciation of how the crowd might react to Fox described walking around with her as akin to “chumming a shark tank.” It seems straightforward enough-except for the fact that there’s likely no greater concentration of Megan Fox fanboys anywhere on the planet. ![]() ![]() Our plan for the day is this: After breakfast, Megan and I-along with a former Marine turned security guard named Anthony-will head out onto the Comic-Con floor, where Megan wants to meet some graphic artists whose work she admires and shop for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt. She is here in San Diego for Comic-Con-an annual convention that draws more than 125,000 admirers of all things superhero, sci-fi, and fantasy-in part because her fiancé, Brian Austin Green (of original 90210 fame), is participating in a panel on his latest TV show but also because she’s been into comic books since she was a kid.
