“Hannibal” was a big draw at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con.  Fans of the NBC show, called “Fannibals”, spent hours waiting in lines for panels and signings to meet the shows creators and stars.  Even though NBC has announced that the current season will be the last for the drama, they are certainly going out with a bang.
